I decided to talk about the weird spiralling of Elon this past week: picking fights with astronauts, and stating the ISS needs de-orbiting ASAP. I also discuss the implications of all this on SpaceX, the West's efforts to return to the Moon and go to Mars, and a whole lot more. youtu.be/eZb9ShrZHrQ - ThreadSky

I've found it increasingly hard the past years to be a spaceflight fan due to the fact I am trans, and Elon has stated in the past he is against my very existence. To see my Fav space YouTuber talk about this means a lot to me, and maybe not eveyron interested in spaceflight wants me gone. Thank you

I'll keep deadnaming Twitter until Elon stops deadnaming his daughter 😎

Have you already donned your hazmat suit for the comments?

bob38028.bsky.social•3 days ago

At least we can be at peace here

mattlowne.bsky.social•3 days ago

Amazingly, even the comments on Twitter are largely supportive. The tides are turning

Thank you for not just ignoring this

ducklie.bsky.social•3 days ago

You are almost definitely going to be put on a blocklist on here for the last 3 minutes (people don't like it when you acknowledge the good stuff), but I wholeheartedly agree with just about everything in the video.

It's borderline impossible to stay excited for Starship anymore.

You know what the worst thing is , due to him being a nazi sob , next government will basically kill SpaceX and a lot of the progress will be lost. And as much i hate it they will be right to do so. There are more important things then spaceflight.

invalidham.bsky.social•3 days ago

Why kill SpaceX though? If we end up in a situation where a government post-Trumpism actually has the political will to go full scorched earth against Elon and other Trumpist oligarchs, surely they would just nationalize the company or force him to sell it rather than "kill" it?

tedix123.bsky.social•3 days ago

Ok lets say he will be forced to sell who can buy it:
Boeing , Lockheed or any other company known for its efficiency and innovation in space industry?:) How long would it take them to run SpaceX into the ground or to the low standard those companies now represent?(at least in space stuff )

invalidham.bsky.social•3 days ago

I don't think very many people are gonna be polarized against spaceflight itself, just noxious rich bros like Elon.

williamsonirl.bsky.social•3 days ago

Fair play to you Matt 👏
It's a video that needed to be done and you put it across very eloquently, Kudos 👍

museumdad.bsky.social•3 days ago

Looking forward to this. Thank you for not being one of those people pretending that this is normal behavior or a normal person.

i swear he had some kind of Stroke or brain damage at some point. I dont remember him being this stupid before.

A very weird enigma

0x3b29.bsky.social•3 days ago

Thank you for taking a stance. We live in strange times. I myself lost interest in everything spacex related, and even stopped clicking on most of your space news videos because I find Elon as a person completely insufferable. And I used to watch spacex launches together with friends on livestreams

My respect for you just tenfolded.

I understand the difficult position space (and especially SpaceX) fans and reporters are currently in, but ignoring the elephant in the room is just not possible anymore.

I WANT to love SpaceX, but the absolute nonsense Elon has been saying needs to be addressed

catnissplz.bsky.social•3 days ago

I know it probably doesn't mean that much but rather than causing me to unsub, the video actually made me seek out and follow you here too 👍

Always been a massive fan of space and related science.. and it's really quite painful to see him repeatedly tarnish it like this
