… he wants to call it The Foundation.
Dude legit thinks he’s a non-fiction modern-day Hari Seldon instead of a rich spoiled child with questionable taste in long leather coats who got the timing right in the .com bubble.
What the fuck is going on lmao
Another one of his references to science fiction novels and films he references but has either never actually seen or didn't understand.

Is he going to hire Eliezer Yudkovsky as a professor and get him to teach The Sequences?
"SpaceX and Tesla have noticed a meaningful degradation in the capability of US college graduates over the past several years," Musk wrote on X, formerly known as Twitter, on Monday.
You don’t even have an engineering degree.
He noticed a degradation in the applicants who want to work for him and perceived that through a narcissistic lens .
Maybe he can have Terrence Howard as a professor?
Coincidentally, back when Tesla was new and hit and before they had a reputation as an abusive workplace, they had a higher quality of applicants. Must be happening to everyone, right?
He only ever got an economics degree.
He was too stupid to earn a physics degree.
He only got a physics degree 2 year after leaving the school, when the school got a huge "donation".
man he is mid life crisising hard.
I wish i'd be more of an end life crisis
This is an excellent term. Know that I plan to steal it.
The grifts must go on
How to Mall Ninja University.
It only offers one major: The Blade
Underrated comment
Can't we just skip to the part where he and his followers drink the Kool-Aid?
Damn, that’s like asking for a Coke at your last meal and getting Shasta…
Trump already did this. More than once I believe.

S.H.I.T sandwich for life!
Private schools are the new grift. First it was for-profit private universities, now it’s K12. Unfortunately for Elon, the school voucher bill in Texas didn’t pass, despite the efforts of his buddies in the Tx lege. so will he even bother with the project now?
I mean it almost worked for Trump...sure he was the one who suggested it to him.
Elton’s university is likely to be a half-baked indoctrination center. Trump’s was just a straight up scam.
They plan to be the Trump University of online schooling.
How short a memory BI pretends to have. He tweeted about this moronic idea years ago and said he wanted to call it The Institute of Technology and Science because the initialism is TITS. He's a clown, and pretending that isn't still his main motivation lends him credibility.
Maybe he should open the trial run in Sachs Harbour to form the Sachs Harbour Institute of Technology.
It would be a proper appellation for anything he makes.
Musk University! The jokes write themselves!
Bovine University?
