I was wrong!

[VR CMDR Novindus]

Elon Musk is a reasonably bright fellow, as proven by the fact that an anagram of his name is ok lumens.

By the same token though, another anagram of his name is lone skum, which is a scum so singularly scummy it’s spelled with a k.

Following on with the irrefutable logic that all the anagrams of your name are valid descriptors of your character and nature, he is also a sunk mole, which is truly despicable.

Moreover, he’s been known to suk lemon without a hint of shame, and that’s worse than throwing turnips. It’s not just any lemons either, but specifically UK lemons, which only compounds the depravity.

It seems as well that these vices have been with him from a young age, as in his youth he had poor posture and listened to depressing punk rock as a slunk emo.

In conclusion, the portents for what catastrophic harm he will cause to our world are clearly displeasing, enough even to have an omen sulk, which though a common expression is still quite a vulgar resort.

I’ll be here all weekend. Don’t forget to tip your waitress.

numbers aside

That's an odd thing to say after presenting nothing but some highly dubious numbers. Just say "me like the Big Musk!" or something then.

 

[Ian Skippy]

Tbf the guys a great salesman, so good I’m sure he could sell oil of snake.

Its a dude who gladly takes all the credit for research/engineering he has contributed literally nothing to other than funding, partly with other people's money. Then he spends his time losing lawsuit after lawsuit because he wants people to believe he is the founder of Paypal and Tesla, neither of which he founded. That is, if he isn't spending his time attacking people who literally risk their lives to save children because those dudes were too busy saving lives they didnt have time to spend complimenting him on his nonsense submarine.

He should have called the car company Edison.

 

[Bottom Hat]

For my opinion - and I don't know too much about him, or want to - he's a very wealthy successful guy, but is also a right annoying weirdo.

That is all.



(And yes I would like to haz his stuphz)

Wow. 10/10. Seriously.. no sarcasm. Fantastic burn.

The science doesn't lie.

Considering my name could be 'Dark Town Ho', I might very well be a hooker in a poorly-lit neighborhood.

And, let's not forget @Bottom Hat - or, as I like to call him, "Bath Motto". My motto when I take a bath is, "I sure hope Bottom Hat isn't outside looking in the window."

 

[Leadfoot]

Well now that is just taking it far too far. You have been reported for being a heartless, soulless, evil genius!

<sfx=Spock's voice in a very flat, condescending manner>
Why, thank you, Doctor Bottom Hat.
</sfx>

Some people say the previous landings on the moon were just camera/mirrors effects... maybe NASA will also jump into the UE5 train as Mr Musk is a gamer himself?

PS. Before anyone takes this seriously... #Sarcasm

Well, I heard on the internets that Mr. Musk has the blueprints to the Asp Explorer and is building one in his garage. Test flights will happen shortly after UPDATE 13 drop.

 

[Darth Wonko]

Despite his brains, try and get him to explain Powerplay and he'll cry like a child.

We could get Kamala Harris to explain it:

"So, there's this thing called 'Power Play'. There are powers and they play. Because powers are playing, the play is powerful. But the power is also playful. Just like the passage of time. Did I already explain passage of time?"

Then, she throws her head back and cackles for three minutes straight and four staffers quit.

Spot the Finns, no one else will get the pun!

I'll give you a clue - you can't keep your eyes on the holes I drilled in the walls, ceiling, and door, whilst also checking the window...

But where am I? Where are the cameras? Am I even there?

Yes. Oh yes, yes I am....muwahahahaha!

Why, thank you, Doctor Bottom Hat.

Consider it part of my current community service sentence!

You mean the nearly five billion of the tax payers' dollaroos.

Elon Musk's growing empire is fueled by $4.9 billion in government subsidies

Los Angeles entrepreneur Elon Musk has built a multibillion-dollar fortune running companies that make electric cars, sell solar panels and launch rockets into space.

Fwiw: electric cars are a no-go from an environmental pov. You buy a Tesla for prestige, not because it's good for the environment.

I didn't claim that electric vehicles are more environmentally friendly ( than what ?), just that it wasn't the 1st time he risked all his wealth.

They certainly reduce urban polution, how the battery is manufactured is a different story.

But that reasons the Big3 in usa claimed electric vehicles are not feasible was certainly false.

I don't understand where this is coming from.

No offense, but lol if you think at that level of wealth you ever 'risked all of it'. Thats just marketing and personal branding, and you should probably not fall for it.

While he is a real jerk (and quite insufferable IMO), he is also the reason we have a second space race. And if we have any hope for our species to go into space before the big boys with small D*** energy throw their phallic shaped nukes at each other to prove who's the dumbest, then so far he is kinda our only hope.


Which, to be fair, is quite insulting for the human race. But what you gonna do, we get the hero we deserve. I guess.
In the movie Prince Leia say Obi Wan is there only hope. If it was reality, she would have called Jar Jar Binks instead.

 

[Zak Gordon]

I've seen him talk fondly about Elite (back in the day when he was coding games himself), and i fully support any future moves to save ED by Mr Musk. It's a good synergy

In general I would agree with that. I cannot quote you the documentary where I saw this, it was quite a long time ago, but it reported that Musk did not have much of a choice, either keep putting money into Tesla or go broke. Eventually additional investors bailed him out.

 

[Bottom Hat]

I am personally pleased that Musk is buying a stake in the game, it can only be a good thing really.

 

[Jack Winter]

Will we get hyper loops to travel between cities, and I'd love to fly a Tesla through space!

it can only end up with Musk chasing Braben around a Cambridge boardroom with a flamethrower. Not sure how that would be good for the game, but I’d pay to watch.

Well, I didn't specify which game.

In the game you describe though, I'd love a front row seat!

 

[Leadfoot]

If it was reality, she would have called Jar Jar Binks instead.

In the case of Mr. Musk, it would be Jar Jar BANKS.

I'll get MY coat, thanks.

The only requirement here, of course, is Yakkity Sax playing in the background. Otherwise, it just won't work.

FWIW, I bought mine because it handles great, has little in the way of maintenance costs and electricity supply is way less volatile than gas/petrol.
