A message from Mr Musk

You really have to be careful. Here is an actual message I got on my messenger the other morning, You see anything suspicious?


CONGRATULATIONS!!!


This is Elon Musk Tesla, we are happy to inform you that your name has been randomly selected via your comment on our Facebook post & page with ACCEPT to proceed thank you. Congratulations to you once again.


My first clue was that I ostensibly got anything in any form of message from the supremely bizarre Elon Musk. I'll tell you how strange I think he is...Jeff Goldblum seems normal by comparison. I mean, really.

And this "Elon Musk Tesla"...are they trying to make me think that the peculiar South African is running a Tesla dealership, rather than Tesla itself, not to mention Space-X and FedEx, X Games and Durex? If I went to the dealership, could I expect to see Elon selling coupes while wearing a loud plaid suit and bellowing, "My name is Elon Musk, and I'm making deals like you ain't never seen before, hot damn! So git your wagon on down here to Elon Musk Tesla, by cracky!" 

No, because that lacks the dignity that Mr Musk has always brought to his enterprises. And I know that it's way beneath his solid standing to toss Teslas around like paper towels at a Puerto Rican flood.


So I will not be clicking on that link to get whatever free prize I'll never win. It really makes me sad, though, to realize that other people will.

There really is a sucker born every minute. Don't let it be you.
