Bezos owns Trump?

[MtnMan]

Bezos is buying MGM. Rumored he is paying more than it is actually worth.
With that he owns all of their inventory

Which includes all the 'The Apprentice' outtakes which are rumored to show exactly what a misogynist racist pig he really is...

Revenge is a slow game....

I'll just repeat my comment from the other thread.

Seems an unlikely theory, but will be highly amused if those outtakes get released and there's Trump spouting n-words with his mushroom dick hanging out in front of the female contestants.

I dont think that is gonna do much in terms of flipping the cult. Sadly. Fake news.

Of course it won't. They'll just claim the videos are deep fakes. They'll say the mushroom head was photoshopped and that it's really a lot bigger than the 3 inches it appears to be.

While it is not likely however if true and the overriding reason for buying MGM was to get access to a handful of tapes with the former President saying offensive stuff and to then release it would be the most epic revenge trolling in history.

Trump spouting the n-word will only increase his popularity among the base.

There are also about 6 people here who would jerk off to that clip.

Bezos is doubling down on rockets now, and in turn is gonna be heavily reliant on, for a large part, NASA contracts.
Wonder what NASA would look like under GQP authoritarian rule? I could imagine everything going to Boing. Cause. Grease.

As for the tapes .. I can see Bezos uploading them to pornhub or whatever.

 

[trenchfoot]

Another thing Trump will have to get his lawyers involved with in order to delay anything that might smear his already smeared reputation.

Bezos should offer selling the outtakes to Trump one outtake at a time and keep upping the price every time Trump give in.

Boeing couldn't begin to compete on price in a real competitive bid.

Neither can Bezos, apparently. His moon lander proposal cost 2x the SpaceX proposal.

Indeed, SpaceX is showing the way right now, rest of the field will adapt or die... Or in a mafia state whoever greases their congress man the best gets the order, damn the rest.

Probably because he hired Boeing engineers. Seriously, I worked in the military/aerospace world, the Raytheon's, the LM's, and my old outfit renamed, LHX can't begin to even think like SpaceX does.

Well, Blue Origin did manage to build a rocket which they have reused 5 times.

I think one difference between Bezos and Musk here is that Bezos doesn't seem interested in putting much of his own money into this, preferring instead to not bother developing anything without government money. Which is why whatever it was that they were accomplishing has stalled now for several years.

Sounds like something Bruce Wayne would do.

"I bought the bank."

 

[rommelrommel]

Bezos just continuing to exist is a constant own of Trump. So much wealthier, actually self made, has friends that aren't complete sycophants, and could kick his ass too.

Well that's the deal with the companies I mentioned also. They are very good at helping out the government with learning what they just have to have, and just happen to have an idea on how to do it.

That would be great. They should do a Behind The Scenes special. 2 hours of lil Donnie being a lecherous, racist asshole, when he's not rocked out of his gourd on Adderall and making Keith Schiller tend to his loaded Depends.

Keith's a tremendous guy, always uses 2 wipes at the end. Some people only get 1, but Donald Trump gets 2. Think ice cream.

Possibly true, and to this point SpaceX seems to be delivering.

However, I think we all know that the cheapest quote for any project isn't necessarily the one that works out to be the best in the end. Cost consciousness has also factored into some notable NASA disasters. With Elon suggesting that he's likely to get some people killed on this Mars quest, I have to wonder what kind of safety compromises SpaceX might be willing to make.

Let's see how events play out.

That is the kind of thing that throws my braincalculator.exe off the cliff with a segfault.
What is the cost of a life?
- Sending soldier to war?
- Blowing spaceman up in a rocket?
We can readily agree that, considering the price tags on those two, it is NOT about the actual human life. You cant be THAT concerned about the ape in the rocket and be MEH about the one with a rifle.
Its NOT about the ape. Right?
So it comes down to perception, what will give a political s*storm and what will not, (cause it all comes down to politicians keeping their jobs @end),and for "reasons" the institution of society be like "dead soldier ok" "man in rocket not ok".
It is conditioning.
I think that is what Elon is trying to do. Conditioning.

Theres a bit of a difference between war and space exploration, in that although space exploration is intrinsically risky dead people aren't an actual aim of the process. Also war is something that we tend to try to avoid (although we could put a lot more effort into that TBH).

I'd say that if Elon wants to do it that way he should go first. Lead by example and all that.

Just as with war, there will be no short supply of volunteers, so, meh.
