Jesus, I thought you were just using that as a figure of speech so that we could all understand that Space Daddy Musk was exhibiting meth-head-like tendencies, but no, he literally diverted a flight from Austin to Sac at the suggestion of his cousin, drove in a Corolla to the data center (edit: at 2 in the morning on Dec 24), and used his pocket knife to pry up the floorboards.

Fuck, how much cocaine has he been doing? He's about to hit John McAfee levels of bad decision making.

Also, Elon, I was just kidding about the "Space Daddy" stuff. If you want to send a few pounds of blow my way, HMU.

Do you really want to ask anything out of someone who diverts a flight and drives to a random data center at 2 am on Dec 24 to take it apart with a pocket knife?

I mean, I've gotten drugs from sketchier people. And if we're talking about stimulants, that's almost an advertising point. "So good, it got Elon pulling up floorboards and crashing servers!" is a decent testament to how strong it is.

Plus, if this was a serious conversation, the first thing I would do would be to test for purity and contaminants. Test kits are relatively cheap, and even if you're open to getting baby powder spiked with bath salts in place of cocaine, it's better to know what you're getting into. Test your drugs, people!

"WTF?! Why does the servers shutting down one after another? Do we have a rodent on the loose in Sacramento?"

*Check CCTV*

"What is that thing crawling under the floorboard?"

It was a Muskrat, very damaging to your companies infrastructure. Some even deem them a plague.

"Rodents. Release the halon gas."

"Wait no, thats Elon Musk!"

"..."

"Release the gas."

It's the corolla bit that makes this. I don't know why, but he needed to list the detail of the car and that had to eat Musk up a little bit.
