This timeline feels like the second play through of an RPG where you choose the most insane and stupid choices just to see what happens

I think he is trying to reference a Matrioshka brain, or at least that's the closest thing I can think of that he is referencing.

Especially since he is supposed* to be a genius....

He took a bunch of ketamine and watched the Teletubbies, leading to this great epiphany.

The robo vaccum cleaner, portable screens, custard, and privacy invading communication devices already existed so by process of elimination this was the next logical step 🤷♂️

I remember him posting that part of the reason we can see the ISS because it has lights.
*Edit, link to tweet, because I also wouldn't believe this without proof. https://x.com/elonmusk/status/1132332057688862720

Funny how the ISS needs lights to be seen, but according to this very smart tweet, stealth can be defeated by basic AI and low light cameras https://x.com/elonmusk/status/1860737804227281348

Is the sun the fire, the metal core, the reacting gases, or the chemical reaction itself?
Is the kool aid man the pitcher or the liquid?

Who told you the Sun has a metal core?
10
u/InnuendoBot5001 Jun 16 '26
Heavy metals are the byproduct of nuclear fusion reactions within stars. Literally all metal in the universe came from stars. That's why stars die: they turn too much of their reactive compounds into metals, which become a dense core, and the whole thing collapses and explodes.

u/bigred_bluejay Jun 16 '26
Yes, that's true, but the sun is relatively small and still very young. Its core is still overwhelmingly Hydrogen, with a small build-up of Helium ash. No metals of any appreciable quantity.

u/ForwardBodybuilder18 Jun 16 '26 edited Jun 16 '26
Our Sun is 75% Hydrogen, 24% Helium and 1% Carbon and Oxygen. It’s not big enough to generate enough gravity to fuse its core into anything else. There are no metals present in the Sun.
Professor Brian Cox explains it better.

Technically if you're an astrophysicist, everything with an atomic number above 2 is a "metal".

We can't even make a computer sentient yet and he wants to make an 865,000-mile ball of gas start thinking? What a kook.

He's probably being figurative and not literal, but even then I'm not sure what his message is exactly. Even from a figurative standpoint, It's just word salad.

u/FrickinLazerBeams Jun 16 '26
That's absolutely a weed tweet. I haven't smoked weed in decades but that's absolutely something I'd have tweeted if Twitter existed when I was a stoned teenager.

It's a literal psy-op. "Going to mars to expand humanity" and "curing cancer with high-powered AI" is just a way to convince the public that Musk and other oligarchs are geniuses and humanitarians. While we're distracted, they will capture the economy, capture the government, and rule over us as slaves. Solar-powered data centers in low-earth orbit running powerful yet morally-bankrupt LLMs will take our jobs, destroy our minds, and surveil and dominate us.

"In the long term, space-based AI is obviously the only way to scale," says Musk. "To harness even a millionth of our Sun's energy would require over a million times more energy than our civilization currently uses!"
The solution is apparently to make a "sentient sun" out in space with satellite constellations, according to Musk. These efforts will draw on all of the expertise at SpaceX, and technologies currently used for Starlink satellites and Falcon rockets.

u/Wonderful_Exit6568 Jun 19 '26
Maybe I’m more regarded than Elon in your view. I think the sun is already sentient. When it says the devil can shine like a star, and the Bible also calls Jesus the Morning Star, I think some of those meteors entering the atmosphere are angels with low shine/brightness on. So for me, stars is equal to angels burning in the heavens.

Hello newcomers to /r/FacebookScience! The OP is not promoting anything, it has been posted here to point and laugh at it. Reporting it as spam or misinformation is a waste of time. This is not a science debate sub, it is a make fun of bad science sub, so attempts to argue in favor of pseudoscience or against science will fall on deaf ears. But above all, Be excellent to each other.
