@elonmusk Very cool to see. We should keep sending robots to Mars to learn more. Think of all we can do with robots instead of the resources required to send humans.
I won't be edgy or hyperbolic, but @pearlythingz is dead right about @AlissaWalsh21 & @MattWalshBlog . Also Matt is such a dork. He tries so hard to be an entertaining curmudgeon. Things were better when the counterculture was libs.
@dragoneuh1@elonmusk No. Mars used to have an atmosphere but it got stripped by the solar winds once its magnetic core cooled and died. Even if you used a hose to pump all of Earth’s atmosphere to Mars, it’d just get swept away.
The radiation would also kill every single person in this habitat.
@userofintellect@elonmusk It’s not allocated across the entire country. Just Gaza.
Most of the time AIDS gets spread in Africa to women via rape. Monogamous couples don’t spread HIV even though they might have it themselves.
Pharmaceutical drugs in the US have made AIDS it a non-issue outside of Africa.
Hey Elon,
That’s barely 5 condoms per adult in that country to prevent AIDS! Lets do the math.
$50M worth of condoms sounds like a lot, but let’s break down the numbers. 👇
Mozambique has a population of around 35.6 million people. Assuming half of that are adults, that’s about 17.8 million adults. Now, if the cheapest condoms are $0.50 each, $50 million buys 100 million condoms.
Condoms usually come in packs of 24. That means each adult would get:
100,000,000 condoms ÷ 24 condoms per pack = 4,166,666 packs
4,166,666 packs ÷ 17,800,000 adults = ~0.234 packs per adult
That’s barely 5 condoms per adult.
And that’s not even considering the cost of distribution and shipping, which aren’t factored into this calculation.
When you're trying to prevent the spread of AIDS, 5.5 condoms per adult isn’t nearly enough.... especially if they aren’t distributed evenly across the country. Effective prevention requires widespread, consistent access.
