"We've been engaged with Elon" on the Air Force One program to eliminate costs and deliver the aircraft earlier, Ortberg said in an interview with CNBC's Phil Lebeau on "Squawk on the Street" on Tuesday, after Boeing released full-year results and its 2025 outlook.

3. Well of course, our new lord and master must have his chariot ready asap.

The hell with everyone else.

4. Musk is AN UNELECTED BUREAUCRAT BILLIONAIRE. He has NO BUSINESS with his nose...

….in this, the OMB or anything else.

He’s apparently just there as SHiter’s moneyed errand boy.

6. Oh great, a tacky whorehouse flying to tacky golf resorts.

The worst thing about this is that subsequent presidents will be stuck with this monstrosity.

Drumph’s plan to make over Air Force One was tamped down in his first term.

Let’s see if he gets away with it this time.

8. Trump's idea for the new Air Force One was basically the livery...

...(exterior paint scheme) from his own plane, including lots of gold paint and stripes. The model that was shown to the press looked ridiculous. It's so garish that it might as well have "Trump" on it in giant gold lettering, just like his 757 does.

12. Bleech!

[haele]

7. Both Elon's SpaceX and Boeing operate the on the same level.

Take risks. The computer models and AI are all we need to design.
No need for testing, tests and analysis are old and waste money.
So what if things blow up on occasion? That's the risk you take if you want to be a genius!

Just watch out for sudden unplanned disassembled.

9. Ooohh, yes! Let Musk help design it and let the safety cost cutters at Boeing

build it. Rush the production and let Trumpy and Musk fly as much as possible, showing off CyberForce One. What could go wrong?

[Traildogbob]

10. Go with

The cheaper unregulated doors.

[boston bean]

11. Sounds good to me.

[dalton99a]

13. We'll have a Cyberplane

[Emile]

16. I guess this reporter hasn't heard, but they changed

the name of this aircraft on Jan 20th.
