Man I need someone to make a shooting stars meme but it's Elon flying into the Sun

Elon Musk, Donald Trump, Rupert Murdoch, Boris Johnson, Vladimir Putin, Viktor Orbán, Benjamin Netanyahu, Alexander Lukashenko.

One non-exhaustive list of people to be shot into the sun.

I learned recently from a Lemmy comment that it's easier to launch something out of the solar system than into the sun. I guess it makes sense, because escape velocity from Earth is only about 16km/s, while the Earth is moving around 30km/s relative to the sun, and you'd have to slow a thing down closer to 0km/s to deorbit it.

I think sometimes it's worth it to make the extra effort, though, in order to send the right message.
