No no, this is actually perfect timing. Yes Boeing, please provide all the parts. Hell, rebuild the whole plane while you're at it as well please.

[–] TheLowestStone 3 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

Yup. It's definitely time for an all new presidential aircraft designed and built by Boeing and Elon Musk. We'll call it the Cyberforce-X and the wings will fall off if they get wet.

Here to also wish a perfect Boeing flight to the orange asshole. May you literally become the orange stain......

While the retrieval efforts continue...for another 5 minutes... Well actually it looks like we're just gonna leave the wreckage here and dump a few weeks worth of compost over it to make a memorial park. What's this orange stain? Eww! ... The park is actually a wild life refuge for African Elephants. Here's on just now fixing the orange stain. You know that most mammals can pee like that for 20 seconds?

It stays closed and locks you in while the battery ignites.

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

Relevant comic?

Remember Elon Musk in Iron Man 2? Phony Stark pitching an electric plane to Tony who says basically, "it's your idea but we'll make it work."

“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.”

Please proceed lol

[–] SoftestSapphic 48 points 1 week ago (2 children)

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.

[–] PalmTreeIsBestTree 12 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I hope Trump is on that new plane by next year please lord

[–] sploosh 10 points 1 week ago

Next year? I bet Boeing can push that thing out in 3 months if they really want to AND get executive bonuses for being early.

I support this. And while we're at it, why not give them a cybersubmarine too?

[–] BoxOfFeet 18 points 1 week ago

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.

[–] [email protected] 37 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Can we all talk of the true tragedy which is the onion going out of business due to real articles being unbelievable satire.

oh. this is going to end well.

Very, very well.

cue Kaylee saying "Don't fly anything made by Boeing, they fall right out of the sky."

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

[–] some_designer_dude 10 points 1 week ago (1 children)

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

“Wings fall off” switch.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 week ago (6 children)

As someone that builds the wings, I can whoele heartedly tell you that there probably isn't a button that makes the wings fall off.

[–] [email protected] 25 points 1 week ago (1 children)

How about a dead man's switch if the subscription isn't renewed?

Soon to be known as “Air Farce One”.

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

The mental image of Phony Stark and Orange Patriot flying around on Air Farce One makes me think somebody should make a Spaceballs-esque show about this administration.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 week ago (5 children)

Wouldn’t that just be a documentary though?

"Defence". They trust "defence"/planes to Elon Musk, to Russia's puppet. Oh shit... I think Boeing airplanes' security will decrease lol.

[–] mrslt 23 points 1 week ago (3 children)

It'd be a shame if there was a critical malfunction in flight.

Lol they're just gonna blame "ANTIFA" and vance declares martial law

[–] hOrni 20 points 1 week ago

I wonder what will happen. Will the doors fly off, or will it catch fire by itself. Hopefully both. And soon.

[–] Treczoks 19 points 1 week ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 week ago

Yeah, but then he wouldn't be able to put tariffs in place against the EU

Boeing: Oh, you want a plane now? No problem. We thought you wanted one that actually flew

I thought he wanted to reduce spending. This seems like a very expensive endeavor.

Where did you think the money "saved" was gonna go?

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 week ago

Boing can save a lot of money by eliminating quality control, safety procedures and firing all the expensive and experienced workers, and staff the operation by minimum wage workers.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 week ago

I support this.

Brb, running to the store to buy popcorn.
