Don’t worry. Hesgeth will have this covered.

I’m curious how many US fighter jets have been shot down in the past 50 years. That strikes me as important to his argument.

More relevant, how many top tier Air Force (NATO, Israel) jets have gotten shot down in past 50 years? Very few. Past 20 years? Zero?

God it’s like low and that was with Iraq 1+2!

You and your elite expertisey questions.

Reading between the lines, Musk has to pay to get laid

also - the cost of the pilot is… 1% of the cost of the plane?

"In total, the United States military lost in Vietnam almost 10,000 aircraft, helicopters and UAVs (3,744 planes, . . . 5,607 helicopters . . . and about 1,000 UAVs . . .)."

Pilots = overhead

I assume he's building a SpaceX killer drone factory.

This has to be the answer.

Either this or he's invested in a company that is.

I have the feeling that insulting American fighter pilots is the wrong look in MAGA circles

Why not make the whole airforce out of the black box

I look forward to watching him go up against the fighter pilot mafia.

Joey Essex is famous for playing dumb. He once said he couldn't tell the time.
If he was as smart as Elon he wouldn't have played so dumb.

He really reminds me of Tom Wilkinson’s character in Shakespeare in Love. He’s the money, but doesn’t realize that’s the extent of his talent.
