Can't he propel himself into space? This guy is getting on my nerves.

Colbert on last night's "The Late Show":

"The launch was to demonstrate that the Falcon was not only reusable, but the Falcon Heavy can carry a large payload. So to test it, Elon Musk sent up his own Tesla convertible with a dummy astronaut at the wheel, blasting David Bowie's 'Life on Mars.'

That's right, this is absolutely true—a giant phallus cranking rock 'n' roll, releasing a red convertible into the dark void.

And the award for Most Midlife Crisis goes to Elon Musk."

There is simply no way Elon Musk's mother isn't a supervillain:

Someone on Twitter referred to him as 'Egon Scent' and I can't get it out of my head.

I always think of him as Elon Muskrat thanks to businesstown:

Read this morning about an amazingly-cringey-sounding interview with Musk by Neil 'The Game' Strauss in 'Rolling Stone'.

I think 'The Social Network' movie (haven't read the book) somewhat nailed this phenomena of antisocial bitter nerds becoming billionaires, even though it mispreresented Zuckerberg.

It's basically what would happen if I won the powerball.

I hope that diver sues the shit out of him.

I really, really want him to fuck off. He's starting to really annoy me.
