People were saying the same about Bill O’Reilly. You know who replaced him? Tucker Carlson.

Except they didn’t have enough time to do some of the necessary preparations on the launch pad because Musk, the adult in the room, wanted to launch on 4/20, so the launch pad has now been seriously damaged, debris went everywhere, and a news van was destroyed.
