This sounds almost exactly like Kim Jong Un's mythical story about going to a brand new golf course, completing the course with all hole-in-ones, and effectively 'beating' the game of golf, and that's why he doesn't play it any more...

We're reaching north-korea levels of propaganda here...

Doesn't musk have a story like that about chess? Like he doesn't play because he finds it too easy.

God he reminds me of this kid I knew in college who would make up these long stories about beating up his bullies in highschool with his amazing karate skills. How do you go through life thinking you've convinced anyone of such obvious bullshit? It's even sadder that they seem to have convinced themselves.

Glorious Leader is in perfect health. He is so healthy his body perfectly metabolizes his food so he never needs to defecate or pass wind.
