The Wonderful World of Elon Musk

14/16, but considering I'm a big Musk I should've gotten more. Good quiz!

I've never really followed the guy outside of watching the launches cause I live in Florida, doing a small report on him in high school, and seeing Teslas, but I got 13/16

I like his ventures, makes you believe in the boundless possibilities of human thought and endeavour, bit of a nob at times though.

Last part of your comment is a bit of an understatement

I think it's pretty accurate, he can be a bit of a nob but his endeavours are inspiring. He's never done anything reprehensible enough to deserve all the flack that people give him though.

During the Thai cave incident he accused one of the rescue divers of being a paedophile because they didn't want to use his idea. That was pretty reprehensible.

ya, I read that story. he put his foot in his mouth by saying something really stupid. but lots of people do that without also doing good in the world and they don't get as much hate as is directed at Elon. I also think your definition of reprehensible is a bit soft.

Yeah, for now the cost-benefit analysis of his existence pretty clearly favors the "benefit" side. He seems to be getting more erratic though, so let's hope he doesn't go off the deep end in the future. He could become a supervillain pretty easily.

Can anyone illuminate me into why the number 420.69 is funny? It must be that I'm no longer a teenager, but I fail to see why it's fan (if it's not just the 69 as a sex position)

420 relates to smoking weed and 69 is what you thought it was

Maybe you should rephrase the question to “Which country were the trapped kids located in?” Right now it sounds like the Thai government was trying to keep them trapped in that cave.

Not really. If the last word was "by" instead of "in," then yeah

I got two. He's not so fascinating in my world. :)

This is more in my range. I hit the mother of all Hail Mary's on this one to artificially inflate my paltry score. For the weapon question, I had no clue, so I just typed in the most bizarre weapon that came to mind, that I could never imagine anyone ever manufacturing for retail. When "flamethrower" popped up, I actually jumped back. I entered that in the same spirit that I entered "Tso" in the "Famous Generals" quiz.

Can you include his new son's name? It's like X Æ A-Xii or something.

Yea I know nothing about the guy as my score of 2 confirmed (knew tesla and guessed brains..) The only other thing I know about him is he gave an extremely weird name to his kid (which beats names like "apple" by a mile). Not that I would ve been able to tell you exactly what it was. So it feels extremely absent on this quiz

If CNN ain't screwing me wrong, Elon Musk is now the richest person in the world.

how? he was at 40 million USD just 1 or 2 years ago and now he's at almost 200 million....not bad for a billionaire who makes 420 jokes
