as far as leave of absence goes, whatever the goal of that NY times interview was, it clearly wasn’t executed well. i think there’s a good chance elon will invite ny times over to his house for a second one. probably more pity party stuff. like mid-interview elon puts on violin music and starts cutting himself. then he takes out an full bottle of ambien and gestures as if he is going to eat the whole thing. the interviewer has to wrestle him to the floor, tossing the ambien out of reach and pinning him down. elon screams “bad touch”, pedo accusations are thrown about. elon argues he is still a child at heart yearning to be free because he had a terrible childhood and had to grow up early. alarmed, the interviewer lets him go. now even more red-faced, elon runs to the speaker and cranks up the violin music to max. he starts a furious monologue, the interviewer is yelling “elon i can’t hear what you are saying”

from the other room, grimes yells “turn that shit down”. elon gets even more enraged, runs over, slaps her. grimes starts fuming with anger, takes a big breathe of air, and throws up all over the rug. (her doctor warned her to avoid getting angry because it makes her digestive system goes haywire). elon starts to shout that grimes is trying to bring him down. he goes on twitter to announce the sale of a new line of “grimey shorts” it is the underwear that elon did not change for days at a time living on the floor of the gigafactory, where he insisted on the most austere living conditions, sleeping on a bed of nails, crawling around the factory floor hunting rats and cockroaches for food. r/teslamotors predicts that the proceeds from the grimey shorts may solve tesla’s debt problem. i can’t resist myself either so i’d prob buy at least 10 pairs
