Last week, San Francisco residents noticed that the Twitter office building was missing letters. The photo shows that someone closed the “w” and so the name of the social network sounded a little different - Titter (which translates from English as “giggle” or, given the style of Musk’s jokes, sounds a bit like the word “chest”). But not all users appreciated the height of the idea.

“Our landlord at our San Francisco headquarters said we were legally required to keep the word Twitter and couldn't remove the w, so we painted it with a background color. Problem solved!" Musk wrote.

Elon Musk is known for actively promoting not only bitcoin, but also a strange meme-crypt, which no one really knew about before him. For example, in July 2020, after celebrity Twitter accounts were hacked, the billionaire was asked when he would return the bitcoins they owe to users. To this question, Musk replied: “Sorry, I only sell Doge!”. After that, he published a picture with this crypto meme, which said that the “Dogecoin standard” is being established over the global financial system.” By the way, the symbol of Dogecoin is a funny dog ​​from memes, so this cryptocurrency was originally created as a joke. However, after that famous tweet by Musk, its value skyrocketed by 20%.

Amid Musk's announcement to buy Twitter in 2022, there have been speculations about which companies the billionaire might acquire next.

In 2018, Elon Musk was a guest on American comedian Joe Rogan's Joe Rogan Experience podcast, which was recorded live. At the end of the stream, which lasted more than two hours, Rogan began to smoke a cigar with marijuana, and Elon joined him, reports dont take fake.

Dialogue between Elon and Joe:

Musk: "It's a joint. Or is it a cigar?
Rogan: “Marijuana with tobacco. Have you ever tried it?"
Musk: "Yeah, I think I tried it once."
Rogan: "Probably you won't smoke because of the shareholders."
Musk: "It's legal, right?"
Rogan: "Totally legal."
Musk: "Okay!"

Musk: “I get messages from friends with the text “what are you doing, what are you smoking?”
Rogan: Is that a problem? It's legal!"
Musk: "You know, I don't smoke weed often."

You can recall another quirk of a billionaire - giving strange names to his children. At the end of 2021, Elon Musk and singer Grimes had a baby girl, reports Forbes. The girl was carried by a surrogate mother, she received the name Exa Dark Sideræl - Y for short ". The latter name also alludes to Grimes' favorite character from the Lord of the Rings book series, the elven princess Galadriel, who "decided to renounce the ring."

A year earlier, the couple had a son named X Æ A-XII. Grimes tweeted that the name has several parts:

• X is a mathematical variable, an unknown number;
• Æ is the "elvish" spelling of the combination of letters Ai. According to Grimes, this means love and / or artificial intelligence (Artificial Intelligence);
• The A-12 is the forerunner of the Lockheed SR-71 reconnaissance aircraft, Grimes and Musk's favorite aircraft. “No weapons, no protection, just speed. Good in battle, but harmless, ”Grimes explained;

But damn it, it had to be heartfelt,” Grimes told him. Neither the mother nor the father specified how to pronounce the name of the child correctly.
