Brb, running to the store to buy popcorn.

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

[–] RidderSport@feddit.org 6 points 4 hours ago

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

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.

[–] RidderSport@feddit.org 1 points 4 hours ago

I would personally buy their stock to counter their value from falling, good deeds must be rewarded

[–] PalmTreeIsBestTree@lemmy.world 11 points 1 day ago (1 children)

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

[–] sploosh@lemmy.world 9 points 5 hours 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.

Soon to be known as “Air Farce One”.

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

[–] friend_of_satan@lemmy.world 11 points 1 day ago (1 children)

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.

[–] Zip2 8 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Wouldn’t that just be a documentary though?

[–] SturgiesYrFase@lemmy.ml 4 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

Yeah, but the show would be funny instead of sad, uncomfortable, and the root of a lot of people's existential dread...

[–] Zip2 5 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

If it’s any consolation, some of us watching from abroad are laughing. It’s all we can do to stave off the despair.

[–] SturgiesYrFase@lemmy.ml 3 points 4 hours ago* (last edited 2 hours ago) (1 children)

I mean, I'm Canadian and live in Scotland, if I didn't have trans family and friends who are poor, LGBTQ, and absolutely not white, I'd be having a bit of a laugh too. The suffering is still a bit close to home for my likes.

Edit: as below, forgot to add the bit about anyone who's not a man. Zip2 said female, I will leave it as not a man

[–] Zip2 2 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

I think you forgot “and female”.

[–] SturgiesYrFase@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 hours ago

Good catch, I absolutely did. Fixt

[–] phoenixz@lemmy.ca 33 points 1 day ago (2 children)

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@lemmy.world 10 points 1 day ago (1 children)

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

[–] SturgiesYrFase@lemmy.ml 4 points 5 hours ago

Best thing that could happen is if it goes down with Trump, Vance, Musk, and Kennedy all on board.

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

[–] sp3tr4l@lemmy.zip 8 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Make the new Air Force One the fabled and promised point to point Starship+Booster that's gonna make all passenger aviation obsolete any minute now.

Please.

Please Ms Shotwell, you promised you'd be able to fully and safely refurb an ICBM in 2 hrs, please!

[–] sudo42@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago

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

[–] Etterra@discuss.online 51 points 1 day ago (2 children)

I didn't normally pray. But.

“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.”

[–] homesweethomeMrL@lemmy.world 3 points 1 hour ago

Make it so.

[–] solomon42069@lemmy.world 93 points 1 day ago (5 children)

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
[–] FanciestPants@lemmy.world 85 points 1 day ago

Relevant comic?

[–] kerrigan778@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

On your first point, the F4 Phantom (aka "the triumph of thrust over aerodynamics") would like a word.

[–] runner_g@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 1 day ago

Don't forget rusting as soon as it hits a cloud.

[–] yngmnwntr@lemmy.ml 11 points 1 day ago

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."

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

[–] BoxOfFeet@lemmy.world 17 points 1 day 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.

when one door closes ........

[–] demonmittenhands@lemmy.world 107 points 1 day ago (1 children)

[–] homesweethomeMrL@lemmy.world 1 points 1 hour ago

When one door pops off mid-flight . . .

[–] endeavor@sopuli.xyz 37 points 1 day 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.

[–] phoenixz@lemmy.ca 5 points 1 day ago

Yeah! How the hell is the union supposed to compete with reality?

[–] mrslt@lemmy.world 23 points 1 day ago (3 children)

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

[–] Blackmist 1 points 5 hours ago

Especially if the new high command were all on board at once.
