Love him or hate him, few people are indifferent to Elon Musk. He is (sometimes) the richest man in the world and often one of the most controversial. When he tweets something about a company or its stock the prices suddenly shoot up, directly impacting the fortunes of millions. So obviously, when a guy like Elon Musk turns 50, social media sits up and takes notice.
Twitter was wishing him happy birthday and #DogeFather was trending.
From mom.
Musk has fans all over the world for his business sense, inventive ideas, technical know-how, and uncanny ability to attract success.
Remember how Musk tweeted about Dogecoin to send the worth of the cryptocurrency ‘into orbit’? Musk is now widely known as the God Dogefather.
Dogecoin has seen meteoric rises but also steep falls. There is a Musk connection say the tweeple.
A single tweet from Musk can have such a staggering impact on the fortunes of stocks, that he has to have his tweets vetted by lawyers before posting them.
So there is a reference to SpaceX, Musk’s avid interest in space travel and in colonizing Mars. There is also the fact that he smoked weed on live video podcast.
He’s older but is he wiser as well?
The man seems to have the Midas touch, according to many – they follow his every move to try and figure out his mystique.
People believe the man is a genius – perhaps he is. When one is that rich, it doesn’t matter.
The tweeple want him to live to a hundred – and get to Mars while he’s at it.
He is known to be the force behind PayPal, Hyperloop, Falcon Rocket, Tesla’s electric cars, Solar power systems, the electric jet and more. He is also the one who first mooted the idea of internet calling and location-based searches.
He is the closest thing to a living breathing Ironman – a rich-as-Croesus technocrat.
The man has a lot of fans and many who think of him as a hero.
Some give him a lot of credit. Given all that Elon Musk has achieved – before his 50th birthday, at that – perhaps deservedly so?
