In her column today, Heather Cox Richardson examines DOGE, NASA, FAA, and Musk and how they’re destroying — I almost used “disrupting,” but no, it’s destruction —as much of our government as they can.

One sentence jumped out at me. After being fined over $600,000 by the FAA for “safety and environmental regulations,” Musk whined,  “The fundamental problem is that humanity will forever be confined to Earth unless there is radical reform at the FAA!”

No, Musk-Boy, the “fundamental problem” is that technocrats like you think that protecting our home here on Earth is “unreasonable and exasperating” and that those regulations “undercut American industry’s ability to innovate.” Get over it: only you and your little DOGE boys think that it is necessary to pollute our planet in order to escape the eventual death of the sun… in 5 billion years.

Here, have a picture.

This is 1 billion years, depicted as a 10×10 grid of 100 squares. That means that each square = 10 MILLION years. See that tiny little red dot in the upper left corner?

That red dot is one  pixel, far too large to  represent the majority of human history of 300,000 years. It should be .00003 of that little square (3/10,000ths!).

See, the math is already beyond our ability to grasp with our monkey brains.

So that one square is 1 billion years. Musk wants us to rape our planet so that he and his Muskyteers can flee to Mars before the sun explodes in 5 billion years.

So this demented creature has created this fairy tale in his head that he is the one genius who can lead us to a glorious future… on a completely inhospitable planet that we don’t really have a way to get to — only 12 humans have ever even been to the moon — and the project will just go swimmingly if we the people would just stop making him follow the rules, stop littering space with satellites that are designed to have a short lifespan so he can make more money launching more, stop subverting safety regulations so his trucks can explode without government interference, stop firing federal employees who rein him in and shutting down investigations into his businesses on all fronts.

Someone should stop him.
