If anyone was going to offer up their night-time habits for unpicking by the entire internet, it was going to be Elon Musk. The man’s narcissism knows no bounds. On Monday (28 November), he shared on Twitter a photograph of his bedside table, on which reside no fewer than two guns, four open cans of caffeine-free Coca-Cola, a painting of George Washington crossing the Delaware River, and an ancient weapon. Just typical billionaire stuff, I suppose.
What is Musk trying to tell us with this photo? Maybe he thinks drinking copious amounts of aspartame-riddled fizzy drinks is the epitome of an aspirational lifestyle. Maybe he thinks sleeping with a mini arsenal by his head makes him look tough. After all, what’s harder than being within arm’s reach of a gun in case some imaginary intruder somehow makes it into your fortress of solitude?
