Stupidity Watch 1

     Dumb people thought that when Elon Musk said that he wanted to go to Mars and then bought an electric car company that electric cars were the future for Earth. Not at all. Electric cars were a stepping stone for him to get to Mars, and he needs them when he gets there. Did he make billions of dollars to invest in SpaceX by selling electric cars? No. He went public and for no really good reason his stock went to $1,000, split twice, and it still is worth somewhere around $250 for each stock, while stocks from companies like Ford, GM, and Chrysler are only worth $10 to $40, and they actually have a business model that is built around selling cars.      SpaceX is far more profitable as a company then Tesla ever was, because until 2023 Tesla didn't actually sell that many cars, while SpaceX dominates space launches because of their reusable booster rockets. SpaceX is so dominant in commercializing space launches that by December of 2023 they made the joint...

     Recently scientists at Lawrence Livermore were able to push nuclear fusion past the point of getting more electricity out than you put in, and people think that there is going to be some sort of a shift in our power generation. Since the development involved shooting 192 lasers at a single point creating fusion plasma as hot as the Sun, and it was at Lawrence Livermore which is a U.S. government facility focused on military defense, the logical result of this will not be a power plant, this will result in some sort of a weapon like a laser cannon that the United States can use to shoot at things or people.      The future of alternative energy on Earth is not fusion power plants, just like the future of cars on Earth is not electric, because the companies that make money off of charging stations are not necessarily the oil companies, and most importantly because we live in a capitalist world, and any future energy source has to be something that can b...
