      I have a theory that you need to be a very insecure person to continue accumulating money once you have more than you and your family could ever spend. It explains why billionaires aren't happy being billionaires, they need to be famous as well. Elon can't be happy being the richest man in the world, he needs to be a right wing thought leader, he needs to be the memelord.

      Same shit for famous insecure people. The Rock can't be happy being rich and one of the most famous people in the world, now he needs to be a business leader. Jerry Seinfeld can't be happy being a billionaire and famous comedian, he needs to be a successful filmmaker. Kanye can't just be an artist and rich, he needs to run for president.

    Interviewer: Mr Musk, what do you say to allegations from your own family members that you're a narcissist and an abusive father?

    Elon: You see, I like my memes "epic*. Do you know about epic memes? It's a new trend on the internet. Epic memes are like dank memes, but dank memes tend to be bad on purpose, and they're good. But epic memes? They're the best. Consider the meme of Jeremy Clarkson comparing those 2 non-Tesla cars.

    Like, a dank memes would be like a frog on a bike [sic] informing you that it is Wednesday. Useful, because I work such long hours at X/SpaceX/Tesla that I often forget what day it is. But an epic memes would have me owning a communist followed by a panel of a stick figure captioned "like a boss"

    Looking forward to the reverse of this with the Venezuelan election results & gloating about his involvement in the bolivian coup.
