Reaching escape velocity is expensive. We can be more efficient and still achieve the same result using a minuscule fraction of the propellant and none of the rocket framing.
Just hogtie him and leave him on the lauch pad. We get rid of a problem, and the problem is turned into mostly it’s component atoms. Give giving the circle of life a little help!
To be clear, I am not advocating for shooting Musk. I am saying we can ignite a fraction of the rocket fuel without any of the containment vessels or expensive infrastructure. While there will be no liftoff, it would certainly be uplifting.
Trebuchet? Cheap? ✅. Easily assembled and transported? ✅. Low tech not needed any rare earth materials? ✅. Sufficient to launch him at least 150 m? ✅. Low survivability rate for potential additional yeeting? ✅.

Efficiency. That’s his thing. Let’s make sure it’s efficient.
A guillotine doesn’t require any fuel
FALSE!
The blade is pulled up by human work, muscles are fueled by food.
I volunteer as tribute

I mean we’re already sending rockets up there. I’m sure we can afford to dump him out on the way.
MelodiousFunk does have a point. Shooting him is cheaper.
Yeah, but that’s not ironic enough for me.

Hmm, I think we shouldn’t rule out other simple machines with wooden frames and French names just yet.
