Fantasy MuskBall: Week 3 Update
7Salutations, MuskHeads!
We’re already knee-deep in the 2019 MuskBall season and the competition is as hot as a dog in a Tesla. I’ve created a spreadsheet with all the data your SabreMusktrics hearts could desire. Check it out, and tell me how you would have done it better.
So far we’ve got 525 users playing, 80 of whom are tied for first place. That is, 80 of y’all correctly predicted Elon’s behavior and fate in the first 2 weeks.
The predictions are in for Week 3 and …
Yes, Elon did indeed stoop to PewDiePie levels and participated in a Meme Review, confirmed by the video itself going live today (Elon shows up around 13:30).
I’m waiting on our trusty developers to deliver the usernames of the few who guessed correctly and earned a whopping 88 points. I’ll update the spreadsheet when I get 'em.
Until next week, MuskHeads.

Really don’t see the appeal of PewDiePie nor do i see what sets him apart from a bunch of similar creators. I find a lot of stupid stuff funny, but I just don’t get it… Maybe I’m too old.
@medz the appeal now is to keep an independent at the top of YouTube versus a giant corporation that puts out ten videos a day.
In the end, PewDiePie is a normal person like the rest of us. He was a ridiculously shy person that just happened to become popular on the internet. He’s awkward. He’s in a loving relationship. He does charity. He’s evolved a lot over the years. He’s not for everyone, and that’s ok.
And the Musk show continues.
@curtise so he’s in trouble for tweeting stuff he shouldn’t be? I don’t really understand.
@RiotDemon Precisely. He is not permitted to tweet things that may cause investors to buy or sell Tesla stock on the basis of falsehoods. It was part of the agreement for him to remain the head of the company after the initial tweet where he had said he had financial backing to be taking Tesla private, which turned out to not be true. He is not supposed to have direct access to tweet on behalf of the company without the folks at Tesla observing and deciding whether to let the tweets go. Basically, he legally needs a tweet-approver.
@curtise crazy.
Meanwhile the Pres doesn’t need any tweet approvals, lol.
what are the odds than one will always predict accurately, if one always guesses that Musk will engage in creatively social assery?
what are the odds that Musk is “gaming the game”?
what are the odds that Musk is an AI-driven, semi-self-aware perfume ingredient?
