Elon Musk was asked how he would start over with $1,000 and his incoherent answer reveals everything we need to know about him
The man who builds exploding cars and rocket ships has gone viral again. At least this time the only flames were coming from confused fan boys dropping fire emojis.
Musk went on a Maga podcast to bloviate about his greatness. When he was posed with a hypothetical question about how he’d start over, he gave a confusing answer that didn’t address the question at all.
LMFAO! Elon Musk gives the most ELON answer to “what would you do if you started over with $1,000?”
“It’s somewhat of an impossible dichotomy, because civilization would have had to have been destroyed or something, in which case $1,000 is not going to solve your problems.”… pic.twitter.com/WD6P2zjh5d

Notice how he can’t even comprehend a reality in which he isn’t swimming in gold doubloons. Instead, he talks in circles about what would have to happen to society in order for him to lose his fortune. He finally lands on his solution: he’ll con people with money out of theirs.
Based on the post itself, Elon’s mindless followers think this is genius. Then you take a closer look at the replies and Quote Tweets…

– A man who has simply bought or just taken the credit for every single thing he’s known for.
Obviously he can’t think of an answer to that question. https://t.co/p3ukpZn5hf

Can he not imagine a made up scenario where his identity is essentially a bum and he has 1k and has been erased from peoples knowledge? It’s not a hard to grasp theoretical lol

A man saying a whole lot of nothing who thinks he’s too smart to be poor but also can’t understand a hypothetical. Okay.
