    Space x existed for 2 years before Musk bought it. He just provides money that was stolen from market manipulation or PayPal when it desperately wanted him gone.

    “For helping our space company reach the stars, I will be granting you, dear janitor, a $1mil bonus and a generous stock option!” said Nolon Moosk, the complete polar opposite of popular Nazi Elon Musk.

      I actually yearn for a transnational workers cooperative space company that collects startup capital from crowdsourcing and fundraising.

      Would probably have to host the physical operations somewhere in the global south, as the big authoritarian nations would likely be a bit hostile to the idea of making any domestically-developed cutting edge orbital rocket engine technology FOSS.

        I mean if you got a time machine there’s much easier way to do it.

        He was likely conceived in October of 1970. Just cock block his parents problem solved. Or just find his dad at any point and just kick him really fucking hard in the nutts, cuz he’s a piece of shit.

          Well, in theory if you want to reduce unforeseen changes in the future you want to make changes as late as possible. Also, murdering him after he is a billionaire/trillionare would send a message.

    FFS. If time travel was a thing, buyingNetflix, Amazon or Apple shares in 2002 would see you retired on an island beach this year. Depending on the sum invested, the beach could even be on your own island.

          if you’re going to indulge in a fantasy at least make it fun. go to the far future where we have luxury space communism and everyone gets to have as many dicks as they want and live rent free in their own private space station. way less work and you can live secure in the knowledge that everyone has it just as good as you do, so no one will come and try to steal it.

        St James? That place disappeared in an accidental nuclear explosion caused by a rogue stealth bomber crash landing there with an armed nuke. They said it was a tragedy, something like 20 world leaders and several billionaires where there for some kind of conference.

      Some people would try to change the world for the better if given a time machine.

      You would only make yourself wealthy.

      Do you even realise how egocentric you are?

      Please try to develop some empathy.

      We don’t need more hollow soulless people like Elon Musk.

      Be better.

        Relax mate. You misread the assignment. OP would wash toilets for SpaceX equity, I just pointed out there’s a better means to that end.

    Bold of you to assume custodial work isn’t contacted and thus none of them are considered employees.

    If you have a time machine, you can invest in Microsoft for pennies and end up with more money than Warren Buffett without doing any work.

    I thought the implication was the guy was going to assassinate a global threat when it was most convenient, and before they destroyed hundreds of thousands of lives with their illegal cuts to vital government programs. But at least we’re all now paying less for vital necessities, right…?
