I recommend that Elon Musk be deorbited ASAP
And by "deorbited" I mean "take away his Ketamine".
I recommend that he is orbited. And by that I mean orbited.
Stuff him in a Cybertruck and launch it towards Mars. He should be fine.
I would suggest Mercury, just to be on the safe side.
Dropping the perigee that low is a waste of fuel unless you're gonna be doing gravity assists
I was being fuel conscious. My initial thought was for the perigee to be within the sun's radius.
I thought that said "obitted" and I nearly clutched my pearls and gasped at the suggestiom
I hear Elon has been wanting to colonize Mars.
And not let back down.
Let him down whenever, as long as he's orbited with a cannon.
Without a spacecraft. Or a suit.
As a part of this deorbiting idea, I would suggest removing his orbitofrontal cortex. Although, with all the shit he is dribbling... I'm not so sure that he has one.
No no, don't take it away from him. In fact, he's been such a good boy lately, he deserves extra. A lot extra.
As seen in the Ars comments, the Ars article is missing a bit of context.
Musk got into a tweet war with the commander of the space station over whether Suni and Butch’s extended stay on the ISS was political. Musk eventually called him a mentally challenged idiot and then followed that up with a call for the ISS to be deorbited ASAP.

Well, THERES the context.
Just another cry session from Musk after he got called out for his bullshit.
He didn't call him "mentally challenged idiot" he fully called him "retarded".
Thanks, that makes this all worse. Giant man-baby gets put in his place by someone better than him and he can't handle it. So he breaks their toys.
Counterproposal: Deorbit Trump and Musk ASAP.
Countercounterproposal: put them in orbit ASAP and keep them there.
Oopsies the station is decompressing quickly. Oh no what a terrible tragedy for the history books. One can dream.
Oh, yeah, right. Space Station. I suppose you could put them inside of something for their orbit. I had something more straightforward in mind though. Just strap em to a rocket and let fly. Make them explorers of the solar system
Your circuit's dead, there's something wrong. Can you hear me, Major Trump?
Counterpoint, fly them both to the ISS, get the two stranded astronauts back, then space them out of orbit but leave the station there.
Counterpoint proposal, stuff the ISS with as many traitorous fascist Project 2025 bastards along with President Musk, his plus-one Trump and their buttboy Vance.
This sounds interesting. Imagine all of them trying to figure out how to "rule" the ISS as it gets just a bit warmer...."no! The rule says we must wear clothes at all times!....well, because he's the president, that's why he gets to go naked"
I'm just picturing the Libertarian types among them all trying to out-Galt-Gulch one another, while the white supremacist types among them are calculating who among them are the most "in-group" when it comes to being the most "superior race".
Don't forget fElon's Incel Clown Posse, AKA, the dogebags!
they aren't stranded
Ah yes, I forgot. They can probably just ride the safety exit door on a Boeing soda can craft that may be attached to the iss.
there is a dragon capsule docked that is their ride home. they have a ride home assigned to them, but their return has been delayed. they are not stranded.
The best thing that could happen would be for Elon to actually attempt to go to Mars
Every time I see pics of him in that "colonize Mars" shirt, I think: YOU FIRST, fELON.
Rapid, unscheduled disassembly.
Now, for legal purposes, let me say I'm not asking for or instructing anyone to do this. But at this point, I think Musk needs a visit from a Luigi-type stochastic terrorist. If one was about to kill oneself, and statistically, there'll be people who read this who are, consider taking out Musk before you go. You'll be a martyr and a celebrated hero across the internet. You'll also be giving a massive gift to humankind.
On a personal level, to anyone reading this: I'm sorry that we're at this spot, it sucks.
Know your roots!

And yes, we've got one foot in the grave and the other in a toilet.
Conflict of interest much?
Might as well fast track other countries leadership on space. Why not? Fuck Elon btw.
I can't remember but who was it that had the contract to deorbit the ISS? Oh yeah, Spaz-X
I hate the fact that anyone, anywhere, has to listen to what fElon's "thoughts" on anything are.
I can’t believe Musk was able to make me actively antagonistic about space exploration.
Nah space flight is cool! And my cousin who works at SpaceX is cool. Musk doesn't need to be synonymous with space exploration.
