Elon Musk is known for his aggressiveness especially when he wants to take big decisions.Recently he sold his $1 billion worth of bitcoins to fund his purchase of buying Twitter but looks like they were not enough to make his deal successful. Now he has deployed a new scheme to continue his mission of buying Twitter. For this purpose, he needs your help because now he is describing himself as a perfume salesman on Twitter and he wants you to buy his perfume so he can buy Twitter. Yes, you heard it right!!! The world’s richest man and Tesla founder has now decided to segue into the world of beauty and launched his perfume, called Burnt Hair, on October 12. It’s described on its website as “The Essence of Repugnant Desire”. Ah, just the fragrance you were looking for.
Acclaim product reviews on the website include, this perfume is “Just like leaning over a candle at the dinner table, but without all the hard work!” and you will “Stand out in a crowd! Get noticed as you walk through the airport,”.
The perfume is priced at $100 which is available on the website and will ship in the first quarter of 2023. According to Reuters, quite a few people want to smell like burnt hair because Musk has already received $1 million worth of orders for the product in less than 24 hours which means nearly 10,000+ products are pre-booked and many more are coming.
It remains to be seen how much this perfume will help the billionaire Elon Musk in purchasing the social networking site. Everyone got excited when he struck a deal to buy the site for $44 billion earlier this year but the journey to the actual purchase has been tempestuous, with Musk backing out and resulting in the matter landing in court. Twitter is suing him for breach of contract and a deadline of October 28 has been set by a court to close the deal. Last week, he proposed to go through with the original $44 billion bid. If successful, a deal would put Musk in charge of one of the most influential media platforms and end months of litigation that damaged Twitter’s brand and fed his reputation for erratic behavior. But on the other hand, If Elon Musk does get handed the keys to Twitter, big changes are likely imminent. First and foremost is the probability that Musk would restore several accounts including a host of trolls, racists, misinformation hawks, and other monsters that have been banned from Twitter.
Musk, who proclaims himself a “free speech absolutist,” has said he’s opposing the idea of permanently banning people altogether. The Tesla CEO hasn’t been clear about where he’d draw the boundary line, but he said anything legal should be allowed on Twitter, which means he could open the doors to a healthy list of famous figures who aren’t allowed to Tweet right now. Elon Musk famously is also in favor of reinstating Donald Trump’s Twitter account—even though he was permanently banned from using Twitter for encouraging violence, which theoretically falls beyond discourse that is permitted by the law.
Elon Musk changes his mind a lot, so it is not yet clear how he’ll handle the Twitter platform if and when he takes over. On the other hand, Tesla CEO’s controversial bid to purchase Twitter could be terrible news for him and the general public as said by Bill George a Harvard expert. According to Bill George, the forthcoming $44 billion acquisition of the Twitter platform could financially damage Musk’s other companies, get his eyes away from crucial research and development efforts and adversely affect the country’s public converse.
Summarizing the article, in our opinion Musk should primarily focus on Tesla and the work that’s already in front of him, regardless of whether the Twitter deal goes through. Because he has made a huge difference in society with the companies he manages now. Therefore, he needs to rethink his decisions that whether he wants to become a perfume seller as mentioned in his Twitter bio or should progress in science and technology to facilitate human life and make us feel comfortable and enable us to live in a modern way of life.
