Modern day DMC DeLorean. All the disappointment and the crazy CEO to go along with it. Maybe when Tesla folds up they can get a movie made about the truck like Back to the Future. Wonder what the movie will be called?

Back to the Emerald Mine

Call the movie "Back to the Stoneage". Then send a tech billionaire to the past where nobody gives a fuck about them and they have to work to survive for the first time in their pathetic lives.

If they have to work to survive, maybe any time from the 1800s on would work. You imagine a genius from the modern day, with all his knowledge, could blow the competition out of the water, create a one-man technological revolution, and radically change the course of human events!

...until you realize he's not actually a genius. He's a dumbass. He just owned capital that other people used to do things. So if you remove him from his money and even name recognition, he's just some loser who keeps asking if ketamine has been invented yet.

There was a Twilight Zone episode like that.

Can we make it a documentary about sending Elon and a bunch of other tech billionaires to Mars? That way we can enjoy it when their ship breaks up and they all die in space.

A rocket is just an outer space submarine!

I like this. If they make it to Mars they get a survival habitat where we can vote them off, one by one

I'd say the Discovery Channel could show it, but I definitely want David Zaslav on that ship, so who would put it on there?

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

Maybe we can catch him in a cocaine deal too.
