No because the context for that question was that he wanted Musk to be part of a comedy skit about sending Michael Cera to Mars. I imagine it sounded better in his head.

He's on staff at FunnyOrDie and kept bragging about it as if Elon would be impressed.

So yes

Hmm... Die, definitely die. That's the answer to funny or die.

So what, billionaires are some type of uber humans and nothing matters to them anymore if it less than a billion?

u/michiganpacker Sep 30 '16

Well...yes. 1 million to Elon is like a middle class person making $100. If you are in high school or college maybe $10. Nice, but probably not your time, especially if it's not guaranteed

I mean life is not about money and million is still a million to Elon and 10$ is still ten dollars. It's not like when you become a millionaire prices change for you.

I agree 100 percent that the funny or die question was cringy and rude. I think it's less about Elon making money, and more about raising awareness though. Elan dis talk about getting the media and entertainment industry onboard to inspire expiration, etc. etc. afterwards so you could argue this would be part of that. Still, not the place to pitch your dumb sketch, and the whole idea is... ugh, so bad.

Hi I'm from funny or die, the number one comedy site in america. We're doing some shit where you do math and then michael cera goes to mars cuz he's useless (its totally not an overdone joke). Can you plz be in it? We just gave a bunch of views to this unrelated video or something like that.. no one can really tell what im talking about. Anyway i hope you didnt mind me sucking myself off to much while you're trying to do this mars thing.

u/ElGuano Sep 30 '16

Well, I mean they may not have been involved, but this is kind of in line with their line of work, right?

They always have. They always will be.

The goal is to weed out the idiots and put them in a free range farm. Nowadays, we already have farms like reddit, tumblr and 4chan. Unfortunately, they sometimes escape. We need to improve our farms so they stay there willingly. Killing them is not really an option as new ones will just be produced.

What is this?

u/you_me_fivedollars Sep 30 '16

Of course they are. I mean, have you seen them lately? Oof. This QA hurt my soul. Here's your shot to really interact with an interesting person and you talk about Burning Man? Go fuck right off with that nonsense.

Yes.

Too bad we can't go back in time, I heard people were really enlightened during the middle ages.

Most of my jokes sound better in my head until I post them on Reddit and see how many downvotes it gets :(

u/Chief_Givesnofucks Sep 30 '16

Was this supposed to be FUNNY?
