What he is doing is just plain mean. Not crazy, nothing like that, just mean. He can't stand that America loves their land and will fiercely protect it. He just wants to show everyone that he can destroy anything he wants too. He is just a horrible mean man.

Oh fuck off. I’ve had more fun and joy watching Artemis the last two weeks than I’ve had watching Bezos and Musk shoot billionaires into space. Great achievements need buy in. If people don’t see magic, they don’t engage. Not everything needs to be about dollars and cents
