It's certainly dumb, but what's the harm with being a little irreverent and having fun while you're doing good, impactful work?

- detritus 4y agoIf you knew me irl, you'd know I'm very much in favour of humour and irreverency, especially where it might not be expected or even appropriate – but I'm not that much younger than Musk and honestly, I just find his particular flavour of humour childish and cringe-inducing. 13-year old me would've been gleefully receptive to it – the not-far off 50-year old me... somewhat less so. The trouble for him here is – I'm not sure who amongst his consumer base would find it amusing. - ed Also: I, like everyone else, saw that clip of him 'smoking' pot on Joe Rogan's thing. Unlike Clinton, he really didn't inhale... . NASA had nothing to worry about there.
- sgtnoodle 4y agoI think part of Elon's charm is his cringe. He's a crazy uber-billionaire literally digging tunnels, making flame throwers and launching interplanetary rocket ships. His childish irreverence is what makes him dorky Tony Stark (Marvell superhero) rather than Hugo Drax (Bond villain).
- detritus 4y agoI'd suggest that perhaps that simply implies that Ian Fleming's imagination could only run so far.. :)
