Musk Gets Schooled on His Moronic Posts on the LA Wildfires

Over the weekend, Tech-billionaire Elon Musk arrived "on-scene" to the comfort of a Los Angeles conference room to insert himself into the frenzy and get schooled on basic physics from County Fire officials whose time could have certainly been put to better use elsewhere.

In a bizarre press-conference-for-one, a member of the LA County Fire Command Team gave a lesson to Musk in the basic principles of water pressure — and shut down his racist assertion that municipal diversity efforts are somehow to blame for the fires raging in California.  In a strangely-shot livestream, LA County Fire Battalion Chief Christian Litz breaks the water system down for a fisheye-lensed Musk.

"If we have one building burning, we could flow 1000 gallons a minute... you can imagine 1,000 gallons per house, we couldn't do [it]," he said. "There really is no water system that's going to keep that pace."  Chief Litz dumbed it down further, explaining that in order to maintain water pressure, an equal amount of water must be going into the system as goes out. As demand for water has understandably skyrocketed in recent days, LA County Fire is compensating with dozens of tanker trucks.  "We were flowing an amount of water that the system couldn't hold," he added, "just because of the amount of water these firefighters were utilizing."

The video is most notable for directly refuting the harmful assertions Musk has made regarding the wildfires — chiefly the "powerful minorities" myth that ineffective DEI hires are to blame for "water shortages" exacerbating the wildfires.   Never one to waste a major crisis, Musk used the occasion to hawk his pet projects.  "We are going to position Cybertrucks with Starlinks and free Wi-Fi in a grid pattern in the areas that most need it in the greater LA/Malibu area," the CEO posted before the presser.  At the moment, it's unclear how many Cybertrucks Musk has requisitioned for the effort, or what else the billionaire will be offering to those who've lost everything — or who even asked him to begin with.

Musk also shamelessly shared a video on X  that used an AI-generated voiceover to claim that the 43-year-old billionaire's "astonishing decision" to "generously donate" Starlink internet terminals to LA allowed people in the "disaster zone" to see coverage of the fires.  And that as a result, "thousands of lives" were saved, the anonymously-created video claimed. "Many rescue requests and on-site firefighting operations were successfully carried out," the AI voiceover intoned, "thanks to the support of Starlink."

Musk has no sense of shame or modesty-- if you'll recall, he was the one who resorted to calling someone childish names after his half-baked cave rescue mission in Thailand didn't work, so his credibility is in the tank nowadays.
