Is there anything sillier than a billionaire? Thanks to a billionaire, a red sports car is now pootling about outer space. Elon Musk — PayPal tycoon, visionary loon — whooshed it up there on a rocket. “It’s kind of silly,” he says. Yes it is. It is also kind of an ad for Tesla Motors. He is not that silly. Either way, he has made us all look a little ridiculous. When aliens discover a sexy red sports car off-roading through the cosmos they are going to think Earth is having a midlife crisis.
這世上還有什麼比億萬富翁更愚蠢的嗎?多虧一位億萬富翁,如今纔有一輛紅色跑車在外太空漫遊。伊隆•馬斯克(Elon Musk)——創立了PayPal的大亨、有遠見的傻子——用一枚火箭嗖地把這輛跑車送上了天。「這有點兒傻,」他說。沒錯,是傻。這也算是給特斯拉汽車(Tesla Motors)打的廣告。他可沒那麼傻。不管怎樣,他倒讓我們看起來都有點可笑。當外星人發現一輛性感的紅色跑車在宇宙中穿梭時,他們會認爲地球正在經歷中年危機。
