You’ve heard it a thousand times—Elon Musk is the “space guy.” Except… he’s never actually been to space. Katy Perry has. And when you really break it down, she’s left a more positive legacy than Musk ever has.
1. Elon Musk: The Grifter of the Galaxy
- Received over $3 billion from NASA for a lunar mission (Starship HLS) that still hasn’t materialized and never will(google how many starships it would take lol).
- Took U.S. taxpayer money to build rockets and launch a handful of luxury missions for billionaires.
- Constantly delays, overpromises, and underdelivers—then blames others.
2. Starlink Is Space Junk, Not Space Progress
- Fills low-Earth orbit with thousands of satellites that:
- Disrupt astronomy
- Have limited lifespan
- Offer internet that’s not cheaper, faster, or more accessible than competitors
- It’s not a space program—it’s a disposable telecom hustle with a space-themed wrapper.
3. Meanwhile, Real Space Contributions Exist
- NASA’s Mars rovers and telescopes = groundbreaking science
- ULA = 20 Mars missions, less explosions
- SpaceX = flashy rockets, exploding prototypes, and a CEO who thinks memes are engineering
4. Katy Perry: A Better Space Ambassador
- Flew aboard Blue Origin’s suborbital rocket, officially becoming an astronaut (yes, that counts way more than Musk’s ground-based cosplay)
- Wrote “E.T.”—an actual love song to aliens, not a financial scam
- Left space untouched, unpolluted, and more poetic
- Her net impact on space: +0.5
- Musk’s: -5,000 and counting
5. Fraud Among the Stars
- SpaceX branding is a shield to launder public money through private hype
- Starbase is a borderline cult town
- Mars colony? He can’t even make a working Cybertruck
- Musk’s idea of space is just a PR vacuum
6. Conclusion: Katy Perry Wins Space
Katy Perry may have floated in a plane instead of a rocket, but at least she didn’t crash it, charge the government billions, or leave debris orbiting Earth. She sang about space. He scams in it. One’s a pop star, the other’s just a space grifter.
