What’s Elon’s Death Count Now?

He just killed another 80 with the Texas flood

by Anonymousreply 12July 8, 2025 4:22 AM

He did this how?

R1 OP might be referring to this

[quote]Trump’s NOAA cuts, pushed by Musk’s DOGE, slashed funding 30% and staff 17%, underestimating rainfall by 50% and delaying alerts

There's blood on Elmo's hands, so that will only endear him more to MAGAts.

Hell, the Catholic Churcb will probanly canonizr him.

R4, is poor r4 high on ketamine? The spellings errors are concerning

Musk and Trump are both assholes. Also, I' m not a fan of a good deal of the Texas government and their backward agenda, but I certainly not rejoicing in any of this death and destruction.

Who in this thread was rejoicing, r9?

The body count is up to 104 now

Fuck you, Elon

More staff might have helped, but it’s often unusually tough to predict the outcome when two storm systems merge as these did. Similar disaster befell Asheville last year, with the flooding worse than had been predicted until that last 24 hours.

I loathe Trump no end but can’t pin this one squarely on him. Camp Mystic itself gets most of the blame for not staying up that night to monitor the very clearly issued Flash Flood Watch (sent out the prior afternoon) amid a shockingly heavy downpour. That camp sits on a designated floodplain at the junction of a river and a creek, and there had been a very similar kids camp flooding tragedy on that same river back in 1987. Camp Mystic staff owed it to their campers to stay up that night 100% ready to evacuate.
