As if his schedule wasn't already packed running SpaceX and Tesla, Musk just [snapped up almost ten percent of Twitter's shares]() for a hefty $3 billion — leading him to [join the company's board]() as the company's latest and largest shareholder. On top of [making jokes]() about finally convincing Twitter to add an edit button — something that was apparently in the works [long before Musk showed up]() — Musk followed the news up by doing what he does best: posting silly memes. For his latest effort, Musk grabbed a picture of himself [infamously smoking a blunt]() on a 2019 episode of Joe Rogan's podcast, along with a warning that "Twitter's next board meeting is gonna be lit." https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1511982702819520512 ## Good Times Roll It's unlikely Musk is planning to, you know, actually hotbox a room full of Twitter executives — but it's representative of the billionaire CEO's well-established, freewheeling approach to management. Other than intimating that he's going to spark one up at a board meeting, Musk has his hands full these days. His electric car company Tesla is [putting on a big show this week](), showing off its long-awaited Cybertruck. Then there's his rocket outfit SpaceX, looking to [launch a 400-foot spacecraft and booster]() stack into orbit some time later this year. Perhaps, it's not a terrible idea to blaze it a little to calm his nerves — we know how [awkward and nervous Musk can get]() when speaking to the public. **More on Musk:** *[There’s a Very Interesting Theory About Why Elon Musk Bought 9% of Twitter]()* ## Author I've been at Futurism since 2017, where my role has evolved to encompass design, writing, and increasingly editing. I've always been fascinated by space exploration and advanced transportation, which I've leaned into by interviewing luminaries in those fields while closely following the dimensions of policy and regulation that allow next-generation projects to succeed -- or, sometimes, to fail. I'm also keenly interested in the effects of generative AI on society, policies, and democratic institutions, as well as clean energy, physics and biology, and the vagaries of tech leadership. My work for Futurism has been cited by publications including Ars Technica, Gizmodo, PC Magazine, Jalopnik, Fox News, and the New York Post. I spent my childhood living in locations including Manila, the Philippines, and Geneva, Switzerland, attended McGill University, and now live in Toronto, Canada. Before Futurism I worked at AskMen and a small photography studio. In my free time, I'm an avid gardener, foodie, and craft beer lover, as well as a maker of artisanal hot pepper sauces. I have a magnificent dog named Freida. ### Author social links [Bluesky]()
