"Elon Musks final invention will be a time machine. It will only work once before exploding. Before entering it, Elon will turn around and tell us he has done his duty and given us many gifts, and now we must use those gifts to advance mankind. He hopes great things for us.

We beg for him to stay and aid us further. He smiles sadly, He looks at us with his tired but happy eyes, shakes his head, and steps into the machine. He returns to an early 21st century earth...and begins his work once again. As it has always been, as it always shall be."




Since he would be rather old when going back in time, wouldn't he rather pass his knowledge to his younger self and then iterate the process to obtain the ultimate laws of the universe.


Reminds me of Silverberg's amazing short story "absolutely inflexible".



Did you just compare Elon Musk to Jesus?


Yes. Everyone knows that Jesus had a time machine and appeared in the early 21st century.


That was beautiful.


"Godspeed, Mr Elon. Godspeed."
