I was surprised when flying from San Francisco to Puerto Vallarta that I passed over the mountains and could see Yosemite and then death Valley and then not long after that I flew over Long Beach near LA and then I flew over a lot of water which I guess was Baja
He's dumb, just for different reasons! The straight line path is nearly straight and bends slightly north. Earth's curvature isn't a factor here. Weather, air corridors, etc could be the reason the plane took the path it did
@eliotetc.bsky.social @rickyftw.bsky.social "Flat Earther Elon" seems like a guaranteed dunk on any of your shows, but I'm reaching out specifically to ask you not to take the bait here
sort of true—you know for a fact that he would have said the same thing regardless of the origin and destination of the flight, so the claim remains Spiritually true
Might be the first time in 5 years I defend this jackass, but it seems to me like he is saying that the plane seems to be going in a straight line, not that the plan should have taken a straight line and that isn't.
He's not saying that, and there's no reason to think this is what he's saying. All the context indicates he thinks it should literally be a straight line on the map.
Elon should be more focused on the fact that ever since he and Trump gutted the FAA and fired a bunch of air traffic controllers, planes keep crashing.
Apparently, he also doesn't believe in flight paths of major metropolitan areas. A straight shot would go right over Las Vegas, Houston, and a bunch of other large cities.
Oh, absolutely! If you’re still driving a Tesla next year, you might as well be goose-stepping to the charging station. Forget saving the planet, your car now comes with a free side of fascism. Sell it fast, before the infotainment screen starts broadcasting "Triumph of the Will"
we both know that's a stupid as fuck justification for being a transphobe.
not that anyone should expect a liberal to actually believe in anything, you're all sleeper fascists who haven't been activated by an uppity minority yet
This is easy. It's the same reason we don't use gay as an insult even to homophobes, it's the same reason we don't call people retards anymore even if they're ableist. It hurts those communities even if it's not directed at those communities.
I refuse to belive that someone who owns a company with the word "space" in it would believe in a flat earth when he should theoretically be able to see that planets are round in space, because if so then this is more hopeless than I thought.
the Musk Administration publicly stated that Musk oversees DOGE as a special government employee - shareholders at each of his companies should sue to remove Musk as CEO and Board member, stop his $ & clawback his shares or at least put them in trust - all that’s needed is to own one share of stock
When I was a kid teachers told me that if I get good grades I’ll make a lot of money when I grow up and that rich people are rich because they got good grades. Clearly they were wrong.

not a great recipe for coherent measured responses
My guess is they hewed south to travel as much as possible in the stream.

- It should be, I left it there this morning, why?
It does not mean "it should be and it is not", but "it should be and there is nothing that indicates that it isn't".
He says "it should be flying in a straight line", because the picture the other dipshit posted does not have a straight line flight path.
Occams Razor, not mental gymnastics.
That flight path does describe a curve but that's only because the earth has this annoying round shape that translates really crappy on a flat map.
like he's a stupid nazi rapist loser, you have to pretend he's trans to dislike him? come on

Are you forgetting Musk is the transphobe by erasing his daughter, and his DEI erasure against everybody is based on retaliating against his daughter?
Stop projecting on me when I'm trying to point out Musk's hypocrisy.
Had it been curvature related the curve would have bowed up...
He's still a dumbass though.
He said others have told him!
He wants to mobilize the lunatic „fringe“, conspiracy theorists - radicals in general.
Irrationality and fanaticism are not burdens but useful resources for MAGA
Think in terms of function: what purpose do their actions serve?
