ELON HAS SECRET BABY

[JBee]

haha yes because I don't understand why people would care about this.

I thought I made a valid point further up, in that if EM said he's going to Mars in 2032, as per Vanity Fair, who's going to come up with CT v2 and look after Tesla once he goes?

Because we are all going out of our minds in anticipation for this truck, or even little scraps of news about the truck. I guess we could start a new discussion about the wiper.

Did Elon name the Wiper?

Baby W?

 

[JBee]

Y?

The whole naming thing is funny.

In our world, you need to name a kid when they're born. But you don't know anything about them, and they're stuck with it.

My family has a tradition of using a throw-away name before birth, and then a short name at birth. My grandmother was named Fidelis and she swore that no child of hers would have more than two syllables ever after. 'No long names!'

Other families have different traditions, my step-father's family never used their given names, everyone had a one-syllable nickname. Some traditions have for names to not be permanent until adulthood!

I would guess this is what Elon is going for here: There's no way for us to search or know what these kids' friends and family actually use, which gives them room to make their own identity.

I suspect a lot of what makes us sensitive about naming is going back to our childhood and thinking about how truly obnoxious the kids around us were when we were young.

Somehow I don’t think Elons kids will have to deal with too much playground bullying.

Like so many other things, if you are rich you just don’t think about these things.

In my family all we got for a middle name was the letter j. When we got older we could pick whatever we wanted. I picked Joy.

Not a ton of options with J.

I‘d have probably been like “J”, for the rest of my life I’ll be Dennis J’Awesome

I’ll tell you a secret: my name is not actually “Gus” (shhhhh)

I don’t think Elon expects to go to Mars by 2032.

Thought he did say he‘d like to die there.

It is a risk though. Sometime in the next 10 years Musk is very likely to be more focused on Mars regardless. The closer we get, they more and trickier the problems will get, the less time for mundane things like getting around on earth.

While we're telling secrets: nobody in my family calls me "Joe"

 

[John K]

Universal truth, John is the best name.

We called my grandfather grandpa, my dad was papa to my kids. My granddaughter calls me Ogre.

I may have found a picture of Ogre and wife.

Grimes said that EM discussed this with her while they were still a couple. He said he wants to be there in 10 years, and she said she doesn't want to go that early because of the kids. Which is fair enough.

Point is that I think EM is slowly going to make himself redundant with Tesla and that will have consequences. There might be a time difference between when he reprioritizes and when we find out. That means he has most likely already reduced his influence in Tesla so he can concentrate on Starship and Mars. I do think this has serious consequences of how Tesla is run, and what products come out and when.

It’s to bad we can’t all be Elon’s baby. Although, if he was my daddy, I’d want a more traditional name like R2-D2.

R2-D2 as in Space War or A2DP like in Bluetooth?
