23. I always thought Musk was a bit strange.

But this is beyond strange, beyond weird!

I'm sure both will sit in an office somewhere and wait for the applications to stream in.
No intelligent person would work an 80 hour week, even if it paid well.
They know what a 16 hour work day would do to their intelligence!

Going to be a quiet time for those two.
Musty and Swammy - what a team!

Shouldn't be too hard to pick the top 1%, 1% of zero is still zero.

May I suggest that the 'efficiency' moniker is really just looking for cost cutting, and they could start by cutting politicians' wages and defunding Musk's government contracts?
