Elon, I'm Flattered by all this Attention, but...
Yes, he's used about ten email accounts to subscribe to my Substack account
What to do? I’ve lost track of the number of Elon Musk accounts following me on Substack. I think I’m up to about ten. And all accounts note that he’s the same Elon who runs SpaceX, X (formerly twitter), and Tesla.
Surprisingly, considering he’s one of the richest men in the world, none of these subscribers pay. Was it his frugality that got him to his position in the world? That’s not my understanding.
Maybe he casts a wide net. Does anyone else have this problem?
What do we even call a group of Elon accounts — a pod? a pride? a flock? I’d love to know.
He even contacted me and asked where I was from. When I replied Canada, he said it was a beautiful city and that he’s from Texas. I tried not to go right to the stereotypes about Americans and knowledge of geography…
Okay, Elon, if you really are that interested in me, I should let you know right off the bat, I’m probably not your type. I have all kinds of strange hobbies like making my own shampoo, laundry detergent and toothpaste, and I eat weeds. I spend way too much time online and don’t travel much. I hate flying and a ride on a rocket ship would be out of the question. Sometimes I do a bit of painting. Basically, I’m pretty weird and boring.
Having said that, I’m open to friendships with almost anyone who is honest, kind and who I can connect with. Who knows? Maybe that’s a possibility.
I know you’re an ideas guy and, when I’m not preoccupied with the genocide in Gaza, I’m an ideas person too.
Here’s an idea you might appreciate. It combines housing, food security, environmentalism and community all in one building. If you like it, I hope you’ll build a prototype where I live, since it’s my dream situation.
You might want a living space there too, but it might require that you develop some new skillsets. Sharing space with others has its challenges, and I’m not sure that you’ve experienced this kind of living arrangement before. Things like respectful problem solving, picking up after one’s self, helping to maintain shared spaces…
Who knows? This could be a housing model you’d like to share with the world. You’re more than welcome to, but I would appreciate something in return.
What I’d appreciate more than anything would be for you to talk some sense into Bibi, over in Israel, and convince him to stop the killing and destruction in Palestine. Make no mistake, he and the rest of the world would all be better off for this.
My heart breaks when I see pictures of kids in Gaza traumatized, starving, missing limbs, without parents, without homes or hospitals. And, as hard as these images are to look at, I appreciate that I’m able to see them on X. Thank you for not censoring what’s going on in Gaza on that platform.
Correcting this situation would be a great use of your power, money and influence! And there’s so much more that you could help with afterwards. Like looking at the global situation and using your influence to persuade our countries’ leaders to find peaceful ways of dealing with other countries, creating win-win international agreements, spreading the wealth more equally among the people, and by helping to establish a climate of peace, social and environmental responsibility and restoration where all of us could flourish.
Anyways, Elon, thanks again for your interest. I hope you’ll use your power to create the world where you, I and everyone else would be happiest. Not only would you be rich, but you’d be a hero!
I figured it was a troll and blocked it.
Don’t know if it’s really him or not, but a troll either way.
Yeah, had him trying to follow me too and my first thought was What the frigging Heck !! Then, l thought the same, he could do so much to right the wrongs in this world. But he won’t will he ? He’s very rich but not free, sold his soul to the devil like the rest of them
