Summary

Elon Musk reveals personal struggles and grandiose plans in a fictional diary entry, reflecting on his tumultuous relationship with his child Xavier, now Vivian Jenna Wilson, and his aspirations for Twitter and Mars.

Abstract

In a purportedly leaked diary entry, Elon Musk grapples with insomnia and the challenges of his recent acquisition of Twitter, as well as personal family issues. He expresses distress over his eldest child's estrangement and name change, contemplating changing his other children's names and ensuring their loyalty through Neuralink technology. Musk also muses on his vast wealth and influence, considering the monetization of free speech on Twitter and his power to affect markets. The entry humorously concludes with his whimsical ideas for preventing socialism on Mars and his musings on pronouns, while a disclaimer clarifies the fictional nature of the piece.

Opinions

  • Musk views his acquisition of Twitter as both a personal triumph and a source of restlessness.
  • He is deeply affected by his eldest child's rejection and considers it a personal failure, going as far as to contemplate restructuring his family dynamics.
  • Musk displays a sense of superiority and omnipotence, believing his ventures "own" him and that he possesses more money and influence than he can personally utilize.
  • He shows a tendency to commodify aspects of life, such as proposing "free speech Fridays" on Twitter in exchange for cryptocurrency.
  • Musk reveals a paranoid streak, suspecting plots against him and considering surveillance of his family members.
  • He exhibits a desire for control, wanting to install a "non-resentment fail-safe chip" in a hypothetical new son and to fit his other children with Neuralink devices.
  • Musk's solutions for societal issues are grandiose and somewhat detached from reality, such as terraforming Mars with antidepressants to prevent socialism.
  • The entry reflects a disdain for certain social trends, like the use of non-binary pronouns, while also showing a playful interest in adopting them for future children's names.
  • Despite the fictional nature of the diary entry, it satirizes Musk's public persona as a visionary with eccentric ideas and a complex relationship with his public image and personal life.

Elon Musk’s Leaked Diary Entry: Xavier Hates and Disowns Me — but Twitter Will Kneel before Me

I own Twitter, Tesla, SpaceX, Nuralink, The Boring Company, more money than God — but life still gives me lemons

Two hours sleep again. Not. Good. The acquisition of Twitter is making me restless, and now this shit with Xavier. May have to start taking Ambien again. Maybe I’ll buy a start-up, a quick purchase, and ̶g̶u̶t̶ restructure it — usually gets me out of a funk. I need to stop sleeping at the office. The world’s richest man, who can buy any house he wants, and he sleeps at the damn office. My ventures own me!

Reminder: find out if Bezos sleeps at his office.

Idea for office workers: floating hammock: it works off two strong, insulated magnets opposite each other. No. Scrap that! One long magnet repelling a lattice metal sheet… No. Sod it, i’ll email one of the engineers!

Hello diary,

Xavier, my eldest child and first born of my twin boys, hates me. He’s changing his name to Vivian Jenna Wilson — booooooring! — and living as a woman. Maybe if I had named him Gary or Jeffery this could have all been avoided… I must change X Æ A-Xii and Exa Dark Sideræl names immediately. Colin and Margaret, perhaps? Colins and Margarets all speak to their parents. I’ve never met a rudderless Colin or confused Margaret.

It could be Grimes and Manning both plotting against me… I’ll have their communications monitored and a drone follow them.

Maybe I could design a new son to replace Xavier, one that won’t resent me. I’ll name him Xavier 2.0. and install him with a non-resentment fail-safe chip.

Reminder: get other children fitted with Neuralink devices as soon as possible, to prevent this from happening again. And update their devices with anti-woke mind-virus software.

Reminder: find out if Bezos has a good relationship with his children.

Now i’ve got Twitter, what am I going to do with all this free speech? I could monetise it: free speech Fridays, where you can say whatever you want for 100 Doge coins. Tesla owners get a discount or an extra 24hrs free speech the following Saturday.

The world’s richest man that can move markets with a single tweet, a brain the size of a planet, the meme king, and I can’t get Vivian to talk to me… She’ll be back when I take her brothers and sisters to Mars for a vaycay.

I’ll buy Vivian her own city — L.A. perhaps... That must be going for a song now. She’ll like that. Mayor and governor of her own fiefdom.

None of these problems will exist on ̶m̶y̶ ̶p̶l̶a̶n̶e̶t̶ Mars. How do I make sure socialism never takes hold there?

Solution: terraform mars with SSRIs and rename Mars the Happy Planet. Only miserable people are socialists. Problem solved!

Possible idea for a meme: Mars, the red planet, the colour of communism, changes blue as it is terraformed and made habitable, while earth turns red and socialist.

Why does everyone jump from me saying “pronouns suck” to calling me anti-trans? If I don’t like the team colours the Lakers wear, it doesn’t mean I don’t like the Lakers. “Them” and “they” confuse me. And Ze and Zir — actually, I quite like Ze and Zir. They could be good names for future children. Stop it, Elon! You’ve already been down that road. It’s Colins, Margarets, Helens and Freds from now on— steady names you can count on. The pastel colours.

Buy me a coffee with Ko-fi and i’ll be yours!
