sheezus, couldn't he have pitched this a little better?
"mobile homes", in the popular imagination, already connotes something of lower quality than just "homes." and, if you want to attract people to something like that, you don't say "kind of" you go all the way. you say "extremely" or "high tech and modern" or something.
finally, just don't use the term "mobile home" at all. say "top quality, pre-built, modular" or something. and if you're Elon Musk, paint your vision for creating the world's largest factory for constructing high-tech modular housing in the next state over.
I don't think that even was the real Elon Musk. This guy is an imposter.
- creep 8y agoI think that was a direct verbal quote. Elon is kind of an awkward guy with public speaking, but he's honest (from what I can tell of his body language and etc.). Saying "kind of high-quality mobile homes" is probably just a vague summation of what he wants for housing. He may have not totally figured it out yet, or he may have been trying to lessen the impact of the "mobile homes" part, or most likely both.
- HillaryBriss 8y agook. yeah. makes sense. he tends to speak in an unfiltered way, sometimes to his own detriment, but often that unpolished directness is refreshing. i guess that was the real Elon Musk.
