MONDAY FLIGHT, QUESTIONABLE CLEARANCE
September 28: Elon flies, diamond hands pack light.
Departure is penciled in for Monday, September 28. The tower has not confirmed the paperwork, the runway, or why the cabin is covered in slogans. None of this has delayed boarding.
The Degen Starship runs on equal parts kerosene, market slang, and misplaced confidence. Elon takes the front seat. A dog supervises navigation. The hull carries every opinion the crew could not fit in the overhead bins. At liftoff, loose cash exits first. Passengers keep both hands diamond-shaped until the desert looks small.
Everything aboard has a purpose, although several purposes are purely decorative.
