... He does realize they can't just shit on international organizations like the UN and USAID and expect the rest of the world to follow them tow in line, right? Specially given this will affect those regions for whom climate change would actually be beneficial.
Anyway, this sounds more like a bullshit excuse to do nothing about the causes of climate change. This would have excessive costs of the solution and the maintenance that would likely have to be footed by society and not the people who do everything to avoid taxes like Musk. This would give polluters an excuse to pollute more and a way to put even more chokeholds around societies.
But even more fundamentally, climate change is due to things like carbon dioxide basically reflecting heat back onto the planet. Dampening sunlight doesn't just block heat, it dampens the entire electromagnetic spectrum. For a speculative solution you would be adding additional problems ecosystems would have to deal with.
How about narcissistic self-obsessed psychopaths stop trying to milk society for all they have as fast and much as possible? They can start by paying taxes and not engineering entire political programs to subvert democracies for personal gain.
He just keeps getting more idiotic
Get fucked, Nazi
No sun for the poors
Nice. Some shade to choke to death in.
The scale of this sort of thing is laughably huge. He's an idiot.
"Elon, where do you get your brilliant ideas from?"
"Well, they just come to me. Because Im so brilliant."
"So not from other people that you then repackage ?
"No."
"You dont just buy companies, and slap an 'I made this' sticker on it?"
"Not from popular cartoons from over 20 years ago?"
".... go fuck yourself!"
SPOILER ALERT: In a shocking twist, Musk ends up propelling the Earth directly into the Sun.

What the hell is that thumbnail. That's nightmare fuel.
That's a prototype satellite. All satellites will be use cutouts of Elon Musk in this pose to block off the sun.

I’m sure this will be a complete success, and I see no downsides.
Oh so the thing right wing loons like to say the Jews already do?

Hopefully someone will take him out. He should be on next starship.
I guess I'll go get ready for the eternal eclipse...
Suffocating the planet to keep rich people from being tried for crimes against the earth. Sure is a new spin on boiling us frogs in the kettle.
Why save Earth he's going to live on Mars anyway. Can he just go already?

If he does this he will only be trapping himself on the planet with the rest of us. We must make it as hard on him as possible
Oh, as in launching a bunch of exploding space-shuttles to obscure the sun? Got it.
