    If he wanted Trump to fly savely and comfortably, he would ask Airbus to provide a new Airforce One.

    Lmao if a Boeing plane made from scrap parts ends up being the end of Trump it would be really really funny.

    They’re intentionally blocking the whistleblower suits against Boeing right now because they have been using scrap parts in their planes for decades in order to meet rushed delivery deadlines.

    Soon to be known as “Air Farce One”.

    Hopefully they’ll be banned from all the airspace over developed countries.

    This is like Tom (from Jerry) working together with the Coyote (from road runner) to try and get air force one replacements available.

    To be clear: musk has nearly no engineering knowledge, whatsoever. He was fired for incompetence and literally all his idea are laughably stupid. At best he’s a scammer who got lucky.

    Boeing is a company that allowed greed to fuck it into the ground, literally, multiple times, killing hundreds for which they still haven’t been held responsible.

    Having said all that, please, by all means, I’d love to see the result of this freakshow marriage

      Flying this administration around on planes “rushed” by Boeing sounds like it might be our best chance at deposing these fucktards…

      I get what you’re saying, but I’d trust anything Tom and Wile E. Coyote got from Acme over whatever Boeing is putting out these days

    Be sure to ask for the ejection seat tech that Boeing’s been testing on its 737s.

    “A ‘tragedy’ struck today as the Boeing-Tesla Air Force One and Air Force Two simultaneously rerouted to crash into the headquarters of Boeing and Tesla. The planes were running on Tesla ‘full self flying’ and staffed entirely with Tesla robots piloted remotely by human operators on the ground, so when they exploded only the president, vice president, and their advisors and guests (including Tesla CEO Elon Musk) were killed.”

      How about we tell the cheeto that the first person to touch the wreck of the Titanic gets dibs over all the priceless bottles of champagne, and the secret gold. Plus, international bragging rights. But you have to physically touch it to count, per maritime law. That’s why James Cameron and Oceangate were trying to get down there.

      Tell him Elon can probably build him a sub he can stick his arm out of. And once it’s claimed, it’s possible to raise and restore it, and he can rename it the Trumptanic. The largest and most luxurious liner in the world. Imagine how it would look pulling into harbor in North Korea.

    They need to join forces and make the Cyberplane!

    The Boeing Tesla Cyberplane could be a revolution in aviation:

    • First aircraft to use afterburners to overcome lack of aerodynamics
    • Heavy and yet strangely flimsy construction
    • Cell phones and radar can ignite the battery in flight
    • Fuel efficiency can be throttled mid air by shedding parts
