He'll be preserved as a frozen meat popsicle though. He is definitely one of those people that will preserve their corpse after death in hopes of one day being revived. (In the unlikely event, that actually becomes a possibility, I hope the future civilization deems to throw his corpse into a volcano instead.)

Hopefully the same thing happens to the newly-revived Elon that happens to Peter Weyland in Prometheus. Whoever brings Elon back to life asks him what he thinks he's done to be worthy of more life, and after Elon stammers out a dumbfuck self-serving answer, he's beaten to death by the nearest object that has his corporate branding all over it.

They'll lament that his heart exploded due to a colossal stimulant overdose because he was working SO HARD on bettering humanity, you guys!!

Also work in a "survived by Grimes" line in there somewhere, so he can creep on her one last time while making it about Elon.

It’s gonna be the whole “he is a complicated, productive genius with inscrutable politics” thing, but amplified by the somber decorum obituaries have.

When Trump kicks it we’re also going to have to deal with overly respectful “though he had his ideological opponents, he was undeniably a towering figure in politics and culture” from “centrist” publications.

The local school board is unelected dictators. Elon is the man of the people. People make fun of his one-word replies, but honestly while he's working 17 hour days I don't see how he finds time to tweet at all.

He has assets beyond the enormous stakes in hugely overvalued companies, right? He can't possibly have been driven to needing to pump and dump crypto to get access to liquid capital

I'm pretty sure that's most of his value. He was in the trillions for a while, suddenly has a fifth of that, and has Wallet shell companies. Crash bitcoin asap IMO, especially because the rich are dependent on it.

Yeah but not much, one theory as to why he suddenly wanted to back out of buying Twitter was that he over leveraged on crypto when the bottom fell out since he started making noise about backing out like the day after the crash.

Isn't basically all of his money in TSLA shares? It seems like he'd be the least buffeted from national default of anyone in the US, if not the world. Not a lot of Tesla sales in a global economic meltdown.
