Elon Musk slowly transforms into the Joker. (dream)

DREAM

Elon Musk runs around on a plane doing the kinds of things he would normally do: making business decisions, inspecting technology, making visionary speeches, etc. But one day, he shows up on his flying, blimp-like headquarters dressed in a purple suit, hair grown out and dyed green, with clown face paint on. 

I feel a sense of anxiety slowly creeping up on me as I watch him interact with the people he's hired.

The days go by, and the tension builds. 

One day, he chases me throughout the air ship with a knife. I run in and out of control rooms until I jump out into the open blue sky to escape him. 

INTERPRETATION

Elon's reputation seems to get worse by the day. I remember when everyone used to dream of working for SpaceX--or they at least seemed to admire what Elon Musk was doing. But it's one of the eight worldly conditions in Buddhism that a person will be both praised and blamed. Another of the conditions is that a person will experience both fame and disgrace. People should be aware of this.  

I know this is a little controversial at a time like this, but I really don't think Elon Musk is so bad. He's demanding. And a perfectionist. He makes insensitive decisions pretty frequently. But he doesn't have the thousands of lives worth of innocent blood on his hands that a health insurance CEO would have. 

I'm hoping that something positive comes about with his new position in the government next year, even if there are negatives. I've always wondered what would happen if STEM people got involved in government. 

And I hope that even if he's severe about cutting jobs that he's smart enough not to be cruel or unfair in this revolutionary type of climate that's in the air right now. I would be sad to hear if something bad happened to him. 

Why would I be sad? Because I think he's secretly an open-minded, creative weirdo.  He went to college for physics and I think of him as having a secret creative streak, which makes him a bit sympathetic to me. I don't think he sleeps with starlets for the status. I think he's kind of interested in creative pursuits.
