This is the coolest mid-life crisis purchase I've ever seen. I hope he enjoys it and has some fun from the boring office work of rockets, tunnels, robots, AI, and of course bullet-proof trucks.

View on HN

I agree!

I'm shocked to see a fun and positive comment on HN and not sarcasm, irony, or the endless steam of 'what I think the world's must successful man should do'

> not sarcasm

hmm

Sorry, sarcasm was the wrong word, I meant pedantic nit-pickers

I always enjoy calling out those excessively pedantic users. Their pedantry is just annoying, adds nothing to the conversation, and half the time is just outright incorrect.

Luckily, HN is not as infested with them as it used to be.

It can be easy for many on here (lots of lurkers too) to feel a sense of "HN imposter syndrome," believe it or not, so comments like this are really valuable in communicating that that sort of pedantry is not the norm!

"This is the best purchase I've ever made!"

Musk is (to me) exactly what a billionaire should be: fixing all the things government can't be bothered with.

Beats buying another middle-management Porsche. haha.

Love your username.

Imagine having the possibility of feeding millions in the Global South but instead decide to spend your money in bullshit like this...

US government spennt $6800B+ last year, why haven't they solved global hunger if it's so easy?
