Elon Musk’s Latest Lunar Lunacy — Another Day, Another Ego Trip

Right, so here we bloody go again. Elon “I’m the center of the goddamn universe” Musk has decided that instead of dealing with the minor inconvenience of his co-founders jumping ship faster than rats off a sinking rocket, he’s going to blabber on about the *moon*. Because of course, when your company’s on the edge of an IPO and your leadership team is evaporating, the natural response is to play real-life space cowboy again. What the actual hell.

Apparently, the big news is that some of Musk’s key co-founders have noped out just as things are about to get financially “interesting” (read: probably batshit chaotic). Investors are twitching, the staff’s whispering about job security, and Elon’s standing on a launch pad somewhere shouting about humanity’s destiny on the moon — because that’s obviously what shareholders want to hear when they’re about to throw truckloads of cash at an IPO. Priorities, right?

The article goes on about how Musk’s looking to “reignite excitement” or some corporate horseshit like that, while brushing over the fact that the people who actually knew how to keep the whole damn circus running are now nowhere to be found. The last time he tried to “reignite excitement,” Twitter — sorry, X — caught fire and started eating itself, so yeah, this’ll go well.

In short: the co-founders scarpered, the IPO looms like a pissed-off auditor, and Elon’s staring at the moon again while muttering something visionary. It’s like watching a car crash in slow motion — if the car were a rocket and the driver kept tweeting memes while it exploded.

Here’s the original article, for when you’ve got a strong enough drink to stomach it:

Reminds me of the time I had a startup founder client who thought rebooting a crashed server meant sending it “positive energy.” I rebooted *him* instead — right out the door.
