I was wrong!

[Gleitfrosch]

Sadly I can't make a daft pun name out of that, so I'm going a little wider and going for a Teslon Muskipper.

It's not very good, so please chime in with some better daft puns lads!

Guess my kind of "humor" is known here, so it is good enough.. for me.

Drinky is spot on about the old musky Musk.

But it's a good thing that the OP admitted his complete failure in this.

Pfft... who is this Musk fellow anyways? The only thing I saw in the OP was Ratcatcher admitting to be wrong

Who was that turquoise-clad nut-case that used to do the footy on the BBC? Anyway, turns out he was right - the lizard men are here and Musk is one of them.

You had better not be being mean to Des Lynam, with his mustache that was a separate living entity?

At college, we 'borrowed' a 6 foot cardboard cutout of him. Sadly he ended up being beheaded.

Someone with what I presume to be dodgy body scents.

No mate, I was talking about Gary Lineker.

Ah okay. Yeah I never beheaded him. Well, not yet....

 

[Koben]

Oooooh that is smart thinking mate, good form!
The other suggestions on the discord aren't postable on here sadly though!

You know Elon Musketteer called out Mr.Putin to a 1vs1 in CQC and he's actually been using the time to train, aspiring to become the next SamuraiX (huge fixation with X stuphz) just to brag that his SpaceX rocket is bigger... which most likelly will end up in someone shouting "deliver us Mars!" because he would be hiding there after Mr.Puting actually showed his (loaded rocket(s)).

Disclaimer: of course all the above statement is ludicrous and serve the single purpose of amuzement. Feel free to discard after reading.

Elon Musk owning Elite?

We will now have PayPal machines in every station and base in the galaxy.

And No, they don't accept ARX.

... when suggesting a while back that some big studio might be in the line to take over FDev...

It is obviously this guy!

So, Tesla Clipper any time soon?

Yes, it is humour, again.

So when will I be able to go to Inter Astra and buy a Tesla Roadster, you know, for cargo missions?

 

[Rat Catcher]

Cause for great consternation, surely?

Normally on a forum a poster would never admit to being wrong, and on this one there are so many experts in every field, well, it is unthinkable!

I seem to recall that David Braben tweeted at Elon Musk some years back, but I don't think he got a response, I think it was Elite related too, something like Elon mentioned he played Elite when he was a kid or something? Though the non-reply was most likely because everyone and their aunt tweets at Elon, so I would imagine some extra my people get with your people type stuff would have to happen for it to cut through the noise, I'm sure Elon has people who tell him about this or that he needs to check out.
