1. Elon Musk Offers to Impregnate Taylor Swift “Fine Taylor … you win … I will give you a child and guard your cats with my life.” No, you read that right. Elon Musk literally tweeted that he wanted to have a child with Taylor Swift. As “think before you tweet” moments go, it’s a doozy, and unsurprisingly, the responses were savage. There were also a few horrible AI-created images of the pair together, but thankfully, those responses were in the minority. Replies included, “Found a way to sexually harass people who aren’t your employees,” “Swift faces impossible choice over who fathers first child”, and “This is why everyone leaves you Elon.” 2. Tesla’s Optimus Robot Will ‘Sort Of’ Babysit Your Kids “It can be your companion, it can be at your house, it can sort of babysit your kids. It can teach them, great teacher.“ Musk raised a few eyebrows at the 2024 Tesla shareholders meeting when he uttered this memorable quote. Tesla’s Optimus robots can babysit your kids. How? They might feed them into a garbage disposal, or they might not. But what really underlined the stupidity/sheer optimism of this quote was the reveal that Tesla’s beer-serving Optimus robot was, seemingly, remote-controlled by a human. 3. Only Donald Trump Can Take Us to Mars “We will never reach Mars if Kamala wins.” The US election has been and gone and Musk, who’s since got a foot in the door with Donald Trump’s upcoming government, absolutely had opinions on why Trump should win. But one of the oddest was when he tweeted, “We will never reach Mars if Kamala wins.” Musk’s gripe was that regulation would crush efforts to do, well, anything. Given Tesla’s auto-safety record, I’m not convinced giving him free rein to churn out Mars-bound passenger rockets is a good idea. 4. Single-Word Responses
