Earlier this week, Elon Musk claimed the title of “Tesla Technology”.
New Delhi:
The funny meditations of billionaire Elon Musk on Twitter, day 3,947. The Tesla CEO on Thursday amused fans with the suggestion of what he would like to call a scandal involving him, if there ever is one.
“If there’s ever a scandal about me, * please * call it Elongate,” he wrote on the microblogging site, amassing thousands of likes, retweets and comments in just a few hours.
Most assumptions about what such a scandal would look like involved cryptocurrencies or tweets that influenced the stock market.

Earlier this week, Tesla Inc. added “Technoking of Tesla” to its chief’s eccentric list of official titles in a regulatory filing that also named Chief Financial Officer Zachary Kirkhorn “Master of Currency.”
The electric car manufacturer did not explain the reasons for the new cryptic titles.
Mr Musk also shared a new piece of electronic music about a non-fungible token, or NFT – a new type of digital asset that is authenticated via blockchain.
“I’m selling this song about NFTs as NFT,” he said in a tweet, presenting a video of what appeared to be a gold trophy decorated with coins and dog figurines accompanied by pulsating techno music.
The popularity of NFTs exploded during the pandemic, as enthusiasts and investors strive to spend huge sums of money on items that only exist online.
Last month, musician and artist Grimes, who is meeting with Mr. Musk, sold some animations he made on a website called Nifty Gateway for over $ 6 million.
Mr. Musk’s recent promotion of dogecoin on Twitter has also raised the price of this cryptocurrency.
Last month, Tesla revealed that it had bought $ 1.5 billion bitcoin and would soon accept it as a form of payment for cars, sending the price of the world’s most popular cryptocurrency.
Bitcoin hit new highs of nearly $ 62,000 over the weekend, but retreated by about 5% at the start of European Monday.
In another statement, Tesla said car president Jerome Guillen moved to be president of Tesla Heavy Trucking to lead Tesla’s entry into the “critical heavy truck market for the first time.”
Tesla said in January it would begin delivering its much-delayed Tesla Semi trucks in 2021.
