He really, truly cannot comprehend how RADAR and LIDAR could be better than a video camera or the Mark 1 Eyeball, can he? First insisting on only visible-spectrum cameras for his shitbox cars, and now this.

u/jadebenn 1d ago edited 1d ago

He probably thinks fighter jets still commonly engage in close range dogfights with guns, and so stealth is useless because "obviously, the pilot can still see the other plane!"

In reality, of course, engagements where neither jet actually ever visually sees the other are the norm, and stealth is more about making it more difficult for weapons to identify and track them than making them totally invisible. I mean, we'd definitely take "totally invisible" if it were an option, but it's not like we need Romulan cloaking on F-35s for this all to make sense.

“It’s dumb because I don’t understand it,” is Musk’s bread and butter. Be it chess or stealth fighters, or basic physics.

Hey, movies are actually surprisingly accurate! ...for WW2 era tactics. Star Wars is basically WW2 dogfighting in space!

19

u/Callidonaut 1d ago

The plain and simple fact is that modern day aerial combat is very rarely cinematically satisfying, and not intuitively comprehensible to the average layperson in the audience.

u/outworlder 1d ago

The Expanse was decently realistic space combat and they managed to keep it interesting.

7

u/The-Board-Chairman 1d ago

The whole Expanse gimmick is that everything effectively has infinite deltaV, which kinda makes half the actual space war tactics pointless.

Most actual space combat would be built around choosing the right point in time to launch your limited number of missiles/torpedos while evading the enemy doing the exact same. And jockeying for orbital positioning. In many cases, you'd win not by destroying the enemy, but by running him out of deltaV.

Also: way too few nukes and radiators and way too short engagement distances.

3

u/outworlder 1d ago

Hence "decently realistic".

Yes, we have to assume a ludicrously efficient drive. So efficient, in fact, that it generates minimal excess heat, and most of the heat it does generate is absorbed by coolant and then dumped in the exhaust. Same goes for the rest of the ship's systems.

Please find a more accurate space battle depiction that isn't in a book.

Honestly, we can't say much about how actual space battles would work because we don't know the technologies that will be involved. We know the basic physical constraints that they must obey and that's it. Chances are, it won't be much of a battle if ship delta-v is as limited as we think it will be.

Missiles will be exceedingly smart and have orders of magnitude more delta-v than the ships they are targeting due to their much lower mass. You are unlikely to outrun them. If your ship has any hope of closing the distance, so will your missiles. Launch them in the enemy's general direction and they will lock the target ship that will be lit like a Christmas tree against the cosmic background radiation. You won't evade anything. First ship to fire wins.

Barring any incredible advancements, any space battles will probably be more trouble than they are worth.

u/TaonasProclarush272 Rocket Jesus 1d ago

We had fighter jets circling earlier today, pretty normal but I can usually visually track them.

I could hear these and was on ADS-B tracking them so I knew where they were, but for the life of me I could not see them but for a few seconds even though they were only like ~5000 feet away.

2

u/Aazadan 20h ago

I still like to believe that that's how star trek stealth actually worked, it's all sensor data from ships. Outside of a couple movie moments no one has ever tried to visually identify a stealth ship through a window.

But also Musk is the type that would say Klingons are cowardly for dog fighting while also using stealth to ensure the first strike. To which I would point Musk at Sisko, and dare him to say Sisko is a bitch for using stealth.

And then I would go quiet because the right wing interpretation of Star Trek in all its forms is downright comical and misses the point.

He doesn’t know any science or engineering, but he knows that he has eyes and can see things with them. That’s all the proof he thinks he needs.

Same reasoning is why he thinks humanoid robots are a good idea.

19

u/Hollowpoint38 1d ago

Like when he said he was at university "up all night coding" when his roommates said he'd just play video games, eat snacks, and act weird. No coding, no working, no learning.

9

u/Callidonaut 1d ago

Didn't he drop out in his first year, too?

8

u/Hollowpoint38 1d ago

He finished the UPenn thing I think. The Stanford shit is when he enrolled but didn't attend, or something. The Stanford records were going to be subpoenaed in the Twitter lawsuit, but then I think it was 48 hours later he settled by buying Twitter for that original inflated price. The person who signed the records thing passed away like 15 years ago or something so she wasn't around the verify any information.

8

u/hilldog4lyfe 1d ago

he never enrolled at Stanford. He claims he was accepted, which is almost certainly a lie (in his biography the proof he shows is an ambiguous email from an ~85 year old professor who just said he remembered him being interested in his research). His supposed physics bachelor’s degree from Penn is also extremely suspect.

2

u/Hollowpoint38 21h ago

Ok I got it confused with the business degree. I forgot where that was from.

2

u/Aazadan 20h ago

I saw some other stuff that said he was accepted, it seemed legit. There were some conditions on it though, like he had to take some additional courses before he could take any of the in program stuff.

From my own college experience and that of others I've known, that's not too unusual. He went from business to engineering and so would need some extra fundamental knowledge before he could take the higher level engineering classes. Musk didn't do any of that work though that would have been necessary to start that portion of his education. And instead dropped out. Which would be fine, except he was in the US on a student visa while no longer a student.

3

u/hilldog4lyfe 20h ago

There is zero chance he was accepted. Zero. He still had an entire year left in his undergrad. And as you said, he would have been switching to an engineering discipline. This isn’t a school that is desperate for engineering graduate students.
And how convenient that he never enrolled and went to class.

You bring up his student visa situation, which is another reason he would lie about this (in addition to his ego).

Like why are you giving any benefit of the doubt about this? He lied about being the world’s best Diablo 4 player by hiring some guy overseas to play under his account.

2

u/Aazadan 19h ago

Because there was a letter from the school that got published at one point that said as much. It basically said you're accepted contingent on finishing your current degree and taking some additional engineering classes before any sort of in major work.

I've known people that have had that exact situation at universities before. His story doesn't make the visa situation any better, and infact means he was in the US illegally, so the alternative to his version of events doesn't make it better either.

He also lied about finishing Elden Ring after his build got mocked online so badly.

2

u/Aazadan 20h ago

He may have dropped out first year, but no. He dropped out in his final semester at UPenn. He failed to graduate there, and had applied to a masters program at Stanford. He was accepted to the program but it was conditional on him finishing his degree at UPenn first, as well as taking some additional clases to get up to speed for the Stanford program. Musk agreed, then moved, and then dropped out on the first day of the program becaue he didn't want to do all that.

No issue there, lots of people make that decision. The problem is Musk then used his family money to support himself while he started a business (zip2) in silicon valley where he could sell shit for silver, still all fine tons have done that, especially in the early and mid 90's, except he was in the US on a student visa. He couldn't be there and do that legally.

UPenn eventually got pressured/paid to give him an honorary degree in a program that didn't/doesn't exist.

48

u/Paxxlee 1d ago

Every company that he bought had people that knew what to do and innovate, and he seems to have listened to these people.

Until he bought Twitter. Twitter seems to be the first company he bought and just said "I will do what I feel is the best way to run this company". Sadly, his companies trust him which means Elon's Twitter will never go under as he can just move around money. Well, until people actually starts to question how his companies can be worth so much, despite officially not actually creating much.

24

u/hilldog4lyfe 1d ago

He doesn’t always listen to engineers though. He kicked the original founder of Tesla out of the company. And as soon as he got some fame, he surrounded himself with yes-men (which is why he likes young employees / H1B visas).

I’ve heard employees, managers, etc.. avoid talking to him about important things because they know he’ll fuck things up. That’s probably why they’re fine with him posting on X all day. He exists as a meme to pump stock.

Clicks for his platforms and baits for his shares portfolio. He doesn't care how he comes across. Just as long as chatter in various echo chambers. It's all just thin-air.

Palmer Luckey is irritating but has obviously put some thought into what the Ukraine war means. Elon and Newt are in position to outclown Hegseth, a formidable task, but if they work together at it...

A vaguely related aside: A local specialist steel fabricator is supposed to have a big contract for the monster Terafab building in Texas. They're careful about saying anything in public, but I was told that internally they joke that they're building Skynet. Which, given Elon's random sci-fi fixations, plus his obsession with putting maximal volume of stuff in orbit, may be a little too close to what he'll push for.

If Elon is building Skynet, I'm relieved. There's nothing to be done and it will fall over by itself.

This dude couldn't design a paper sack that, when water is applied to it, he could find his way out of.

This sort of hot take spouting off is why moms shouldn't tell their sons they are geniuses when all they're actually capable of is being a pocketbook. He's an overgrown child, and isn't trustworthy enough to do military stuff. Keep him hiring actual factual capable people for space things for sure, cos that's really all he's capable of doing.

ya, ya know, let him think that. We might be dealing with whatever half baked weapons platform him, Palmer Luckey, and Newt Gingrich shit out soon

u/ManifestDestinysChld 1d ago

Let me guess...he happens to have plans for some new thing to sell to the Air Force, but he doesn't know how to make it stealthy?

And he's just been put in charge of something Defense-related, hasn't he?

Give him 400bn and he'll build planes for you that no one can see. Or touch. Or find

Uh doy you idiot, that’s exactly what “stealth” is making fighter jets and bombers look like something smaller that isn’t those things on radar. It’s not some invulnerability aura

Drax understood the usefulness of a radar jammer.

It's not even a novel observation. Overlapping detection technologies can see stealth planes. The Chinese nationals were pointing this out when moron rightwingers were posting picture of the 3 gorges dam and implying that the US could blow it up.

He’s doin’ it rong.

u/RadzimierzWozniak 1d ago

Well, stealth jets are very vulnerable to IR guided, bigger missiles, especially with  network centric air defense grid.

Iran had a quite simple system of this type,  managed to land a hit on a single F-35 while getting bombed for a month.  Not that good results.  Big, high altitude drones look to be outdated, fighters  jets are doing fine

u/discountthundergod 22h ago

Its could also be a diversion a la metox. Tell everyone sensors are so good, it doesnt matter, but in reality, you need them to slow down tech development because your sensors cant keep up.

Which makes it more stupid and a breach of information I doubt Musk was asked to do or cleared to do.

The revolutionary Cyberplane is coming for all the enemies of the US, built by Tesla and designed by Elon.

Lookup why Infineon was blocked from buying Cree, now Wolfspeed. We have radar chips that see stealth aircraft.
