1. LOL. A "glass house" ? I'm sure that will be apropos for Elon.

I guess he never heard of the first part of the saying,

"People who live in glass houses..."

(I believe that’s how it goes…)

7. Skimming the profits off a corporation is what they did in the 1950s

in casinos. If this lead pans out, how is it any different?

8. Lock him up!

[krkaufman]

10. Twitter

I still wanna know how it was OK to steal Tesla engineers to work on Twitter issues.

11. John Galt answers to no one.

12. Should we be relying on this flaky man child for a lot of our space program?

And internet? He really tried to screw with Ukraine's much needed internet.

[Snackshack]

13. This a joke...

Right?

Please tell me the government I send 1000’s of $ too each year is not using that money to investigate someone’s…glass house…

[mathematic]

20. Good news buddy, you're still allowed to use your own money to build a glass house in america

However defrauding investors and embezzling funds is still very much illegal.

[Snackshack]

21. I doubt that is the case.

Program 42… a Glass House Elon musk…

I believe there probably is a glass house he made for his kids hamster and the way rich people like to name their places of living its address is probably 123 way Project 42 Ave.

This has every mark of a set up that it can without saying “I am a set up” and In would not put it past musk to do something like this just to phuck with the institutions as he feels he has been.

If it really did turn out to be a full size house then it would be nothing more then musk just making a mockery out of society.

I think musk started out with a few slivers of altruism but capitalism has hammered that silliness out.

14. He might want to consider this ancient cautionary fable

There was a wise and benevolent ruler and just before he died, he had planned to install indoor plumbing in the homes of his subjects. He died before he could accomplish this.

His son was neither wise nor benevolent and refused to carry out his father's plans, "The plumbing bills alone will break me!"

As he walked about his palace he decided "What is the use of all this opulence if people can't see it and be jealous of it?" So he knocked down the palace and built a new one with walls made of glass.

The people could see through the glass, and one thing they saw were all the plumbing fixtures that had been promised to them. Fury over the new ruler's stinginess and the broken promises mounted until one day, they attacked the glass palace with engagement rings, glass cutters, and baseball bats. The stingy ruler fled, never to be seen again.

Moral of the story: People who live in glass houses shouldn't stow thrones.

(ducking)

19. I learned a different version of this shaggy dog tale

In it, the king had a tremendous throne collection, which eventually became too heavy… (elaborate ad nauseam)

22. I prefer the low humor represented by hoarded toilets

but I guess that's just me.

[OKIsItJustMe]

24. No problem there, scatology is always good for a chuckle.

The question is, how to justify the use of “stow.”

[Salviati]

15. Dude, if you're going to give your secret house project a name referencing the HHGTTG...

... It should clearly be Project Asylum.

what a moron.

[PlutosHeart]

16. Oh the irony.

Isn't it enough that he killed the Twitter "bird" and now is aiming to kill lots more birds with glass?

[MistakenLamb]

17. Of course he named it Project 42

He sure knows how to bait his nerd fans

[Wonder Why]

18. It's sad. With $40B, the poor guy has to get the company to pay for his house. Homeless?

[PufPuf23]

23. Musk is a dangerous creep and a potential Palmer Eldritch wannabe. nt
