SpaceX boss is off the planet but we’ve found a use for often overlooked fox pee

Look, up in the sky – It’s a bird, it’s a plane … it’s Elon Musk! San Francisco Mercury News, March 21:

Just days after Twitter announced new rules to crack down on tweets spreading misinformation about coronavirus, the company faced a test from a high-profile source: Elon Musk. On Thursday, Musk, the CEO of Tesla and SpaceX, tweeted the false claim that children are “essentially immune” to the virus.

What Musk says and does matters. People respect him and follow his advice. If he doesn’t take coronavirus seriously, others might not, either.

It’s business as usual. BuzzFeed News, March 20:

While the governor of California ordered all nonessential businesses to close and advised residents to stay home, Hawthorne, California-based SpaceX has remained open for more than 5000 employees, citing its role as a government contractor.

Tesla chief executive Elon Musk had a defiant message for his 56,000 workers. “I will personally be at work, but that’s just me,” he said in an email. “Totally OK if you want to stay home for any reason.”

I’m smart. You are all stupid. The Independent, March 9:

Elon Musk has provoked a huge online response after tweeting that the panic surrounding the COVID-19 coronavirus is “dumb”.

Scott Morrison, The Australian, March 19:

… there’s a lot of misinformation out there. There’s a lot of ridiculous stuff … Don’t believe it, it’s rubbish. Avoid all that nonsense you’re seeing on social media — just ignore it.

It was more than two years ago that Elon Musk promised us that you’d be able to sleep in your Tesla while it drove across the country, and everyone believed it then.

Looking for a hero. Washington Post, July 10, 2018:

The world is captivated by the plight of a Thai soccer team trapped in a flooded cave — and so, too, is billionaire inventor Elon Musk. As rescuers began a daring extraction of the boys and their coach from the cave over the weekend, Musk said he had sent a “kid-size submarine” to the country to assist in the massive rescue effort.

Genuine cave rescue hero Vern Unsworth speak to SBS, July 16, 2018:

It just had absolutely no chance of working. He had no conception of what the cave passage was like … He can stick his submarine where it hurts.

Clearly, Unsworth was a paedophile. SMH, July 15, 2018:

Tech entrepreneur Elon Musk has gone on a bizarre Twitter rant in defence of his offer to help the Thai cave rescue operation, calling one of the British divers a “pedo” … Musk (tweeted that) he never saw Unsworth in the cave and he found it “sus” that Unsworth was a British expat living in Thailand. He later referred to him as “pedo guy”.
