In a new SEC filing, Musk is promoted to “Technoking of Tesla”

sec.gov

Musk is just trolling the regular business culture and etiquette and gaining free PR. He knows how to control the news cycle.

Master of Coin is pretty smart and memeable. GoT throwback.

Why not? The guy's an internet sensation and everything he does is meme oriented. It's free PR for Tesla and his personal brand.

Not to be confused with Techno Viking, of course: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UjCdB5p2v0Y

What must it be like to lark about like so without fear of repercussion or judgment.

> Effective as of March 15, 2021, the titles of Elon Musk and Zach Kirkhorn have changed to Technoking of Tesla and Master of Coin, respectively. Elon and Zach will also maintain their respective positions as Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer.

I don't understand this crypto bullshit elon musk is into..

I don't think this is even crypto related. It sounds more as if Musk and co. are living in a fantasy world.

You mean enjoying life with a few laughs here and there?

What a shame it would be to take life so seriously it's not OK to have fun titles and enjoy yourself.

Or maybe they just have a sensor of humor?

master of coin seems crypto related especially as tesla bought a lot of bitcoins recently

Coins existed before bitcoin.

Seems more likely to be a GoT reference[1]

Or that they're just having some fun with silly names. Not everything that deviates from typical professional behavior need necessarily be framed as some kind of psychotic break from reality.

That being said, if you've had multiple past events that made people quite seriously question whether or not you were having a psychotic break from reality, perhaps it would be best to avoid doing things that would raise that question (in SEC filings of all places).

It's just trolling. Musk knows people will write about it (positive, negative, whatever).

As long as it keeps rising, it is good for Tesla's stock price.

In term's of Humanity's technological achievement, Elon Musk is the best person alive right now. I think its fine for him to blow off a little steam with stuff like this.

Elon Musk and his company is doing nothing to solve real human problems, because real human problems are solved with less industry messing up with our lives, not "green" capitalism and space colonization.

baby steps.
