Well, I don’t want AI and Robotics, so that was easy.

Counteroffer: we launch him into the sun for free.

[–] SturgiesYrFase@lemmy.ml 55 points 4 months ago (2 children)

Counter-counteroffer: we have him blast himself into the sun and he foots the bill.

[–] homesweethomeMrL@lemmy.world 47 points 4 months ago (1 children)

You’re a tough negotiator. Approved.

Zaaannnng

I propose that he gives me his money and then fucks off to the desert on Mars.

It just occurred to me: How many of our problems could be solved if we just started throwing them into the sun?

[–] digdug@kbin.social 12 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Unfortunately, very few: https://www.nasa.gov/solar-system/its-surprisingly-hard-to-go-to-the-sun/

They didn’t say “if we could throw them into the sun”, they clearly have a teleporter that allows throwing things into the sun, it’s just how many problems would we solve if we did so.

Technically? All of them.

[–] Jimmyeatsausage@lemmy.world 5 points 4 months ago

Far cheaper to launch them into a slowly degrading low earth orbit and let them burn up on reentry.

[–] RarePossum@programming.dev 6 points 4 months ago (1 children)

It'd be cheaper to send him out if the solar system though

[–] skyspydude1@lemmy.world 2 points 4 months ago

But then he might come back

[–] towerful@programming.dev 2 points 4 months ago (2 children)

Probably more expensive than you think...

[–] suction@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

It's volume pricing...sure if we do it just with Elon it'd be expensive, but if we launch all neo-fascists from around the globe into the sun, the price per unit doesn't look so bad.

[–] bitchkat@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months ago

Is he bigger than a rover?

[–] demizerone@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months ago

Send his ass on a one way trip to Mars. I'll gladly accept a one time tax hike for that.
