Seems like an opportunity for Musk to create plausible deniability for taking the throne.

Look do you really need to tighten every screw? Maybe skip every 8th one or use the aluminum screws instead of the steel ones - then you can carry more screws.
I have lots of ideas how they could speed this up.
"Never interrupt your opponent while he is in the middle of making a mistake."
Really rooting for them on that corner-cutting endeavor. What's the worst that could happen?
Some Boeing workers could be real American heroes right about now.
In Japan, heart surgeon. Number one. Steady hand. One day, yakuza boss need new heart. I do operation. But, mistake! Yakuza boss die. Yakuza very mad. I hide in fishing boat, come to America. No English, no food, no money. Darryl give me job. Now I have house, American car, and new woman. Darryl save life. My big secret: I kill yakuza boss on purpose. I good surgeon. The best!

Finally a positive news :)
This could be amazing.
Finally, a Trump order I agree with
Boeing, Musk, and a rushed time frame? I've rarely seen a better recipe for disaster. Maybe we are lucky and Trump and his cronies just fall from the sky even on the first flight.
It would be a nice reminder that a disaster isn't the same thing as a tragedy.

You want Vance? That's how you get Vance.
Vance might be smarter then Trump but there's not a chance MAGA coalesces around him if Trump dies. Without that, congressional R's won't bend the knee so readily.

Vance is evil, Vance is moderately competent. Vance is also unable to muster the will to coup. Vance is to trump what Biden was to Obama. Associated and acceptable.

Oh man. Please. Please.
Not that it matters. Another bumbling moron is next in line. Then after that a religious zealot.
But for my own satisfaction....pleeeease.
Two new Air Force One
Two new
One
REEEEEEE, THERE CAN ONLY BE ONE
Any plane the President is on board is designated Air Force One. I know you’re half joking, but
It's not just half
Yes please
Yay
Do it and take the entire republican leadership out for a joy ride. It will be the most spectacular thing ever.

If Musk can fly a rocket, Trump reportedly told associates, per the NYT, he can probably fly an airplane.
He's never been on one of his rockets. He's too chickenshit. Fuck Bezos, but at least he had the balls to go up on a Blue Origin rocket. If you think Musk is ever going to Mars, you're wrong.

I like where this is going.
If Musk can fly a rocket, Trump reportedly told associates, per the NYT, he can probably fly an airplane.
You guys are all such a joke.
Sucks millions or billions will die when you blame the plane crash on Canada or Denmark or Ukraine.
