Tesla CEO and Dogecoin fanatic Elon Musk isn’t shy about posting his true feelings on social media.
In fact, his Twitter feed makes up the majority of Tesla’s marketing.

In a Tweet from 2015, Musk said ‘if this works, I’m treating myself to a volcano lair. It’s time’, referring to his SpaceX rocket launch.

This was one of the maddest creations this super-genius had ever come up with and following its launch, he said this:
