Elon Musk is sleeping on the factory floor

At Tesla. Because they've got production problems. They need to build more cars, and fast! / And it makes perfect sense, to me. It's the best thing to do. It would be the best thing to do even if Tesla didn't have production problems. Who wants to be a normal CEO? Who wants to be a normal anything? Imagine going home to a normal bed, and being able to take a normal shower! It would be DEATH.

Obviously, when you're young - in your teenage years, or twenties, even your thirties - it's nice to goof off without a care in the world. Oh, go for a walk in the countryside, and stare at the sunset! You've got all the time in the world, you loser! Ha! And you're so young, and so full of life. Ha, ha, ha! Uh. / However, it's different when you get to our age. We've squeezed all the juice out, the juice of life. Oh, there's no more juice from simple pleasures for us! At least, there's nothing new, you dig? We've seen it all a million times before. We've done it all a million times before. So ... is despair the answer?! No. No. No! NOW WE MUST WORK. In the twenty or thirty years - hopefully - that remain to us we must leave a mark on humanity that will take hundreds or even thousands of years to fade away ... into dust. Yes, sadly. Into dust. / Dante, come on, son!

"Now is the time for you to rouse yourself,"
The Master said, "For sitting on a cushion

Is not the way to fame, nor staying in bed.

And without fame, a man must spend his life
Only to leave such traces upon earth
As smoke leaves in the air, or foam in water."


Thanks, Dante! You're a diamond! / You see, dear reader(s)? Get busy! RIGHT NOW!!! Christ! You don't need to have a mathematical and engineering brain like Elon's. (I don't myself. I'm a words and music man, man.) But there is something you've got that you can use. There must be!

SO USE IT! NOW!
