    No no, this is actually perfect timing. Yes Boeing, please provide all the parts. Hell, rebuild the whole plane while you’re at it as well please.

      Yup. It’s definitely time for an all new presidential aircraft designed and built by Boeing and Elon Musk. We’ll call it the Cyberforce-X and the wings will fall off if they get wet.

    If he wanted Trump to fly savely and comfortably, he would ask Airbus to provide a new Airforce One.

    Lmao if a Boeing plane made from scrap parts ends up being the end of Trump it would be really really funny.

    They’re intentionally blocking the whistleblower suits against Boeing right now because they have been using scrap parts in their planes for decades in order to meet rushed delivery deadlines.

    Soon to be known as “Air Farce One”.

    Hopefully they’ll be banned from all the airspace over developed countries.

      The mental image of Phony Stark and Orange Patriot flying around on Air Farce One makes me think somebody should make a Spaceballs-esque show about this administration.

          Yeah, but the show would be funny instead of sad, uncomfortable, and the root of a lot of people’s existential dread…

            If it’s any consolation, some of us watching from abroad are laughing. It’s all we can do to stave off the despair.

              I mean, I’m Canadian and live in Scotland, if I didn’t have trans family and friends who are poor, LGBTQ, and absolutely not white, I’d be having a bit of a laugh too. The suffering is still a bit close to home for my likes.

              Edit: as below, forgot to add the bit about anyone who’s not a man. Zip2 said female, I will leave it as not a man

    This is like Tom (from Jerry) working together with the Coyote (from road runner) to try and get air force one replacements available.

    To be clear: musk has nearly no engineering knowledge, whatsoever. He was fired for incompetence and literally all his idea are laughably stupid. At best he’s a scammer who got lucky.

    Boeing is a company that allowed greed to fuck it into the ground, literally, multiple times, killing hundreds for which they still haven’t been held responsible.

    Having said all that, please, by all means, I’d love to see the result of this freakshow marriage

      Flying this administration around on planes “rushed” by Boeing sounds like it might be our best chance at deposing these fucktards…

      I get what you’re saying, but I’d trust anything Tom and Wile E. Coyote got from Acme over whatever Boeing is putting out these days

    Make the new Air Force One the fabled and promised point to point Starship+Booster that’s gonna make all passenger aviation obsolete any minute now.

    Please.

    Please Ms Shotwell, you promised you’d be able to fully and safely refurb an ICBM in 2 hrs, please!

    They need to join forces and make the Cyberplane!

    The Boeing Tesla Cyberplane could be a revolution in aviation:

    • First aircraft to use afterburners to overcome lack of aerodynamics
    • Heavy and yet strangely flimsy construction
    • Cell phones and radar can ignite the battery in flight
    • Fuel efficiency can be throttled mid air by shedding parts

    “A ‘tragedy’ struck today as the Boeing-Tesla Air Force One and Air Force Two simultaneously rerouted to crash into the headquarters of Boeing and Tesla. The planes were running on Tesla ‘full self flying’ and staffed entirely with Tesla robots piloted remotely by human operators on the ground, so when they exploded only the president, vice president, and their advisors and guests (including Tesla CEO Elon Musk) were killed.”
