Elon Musk Spent The Majority Of His Money On A McLaren F1
Elon Musk, CEO of Tesla and SpaceX and countless other companies worldwide, has had a thing for Twitter lately. With social media exploding over his latest idea, Pravduh, a website in which journalists and outlets can be reviewed, he’s spent a lot of time countering arguments and replying to comments.
Within all of this however, has come a very important snippet of information. It’s not only interesting to see how Elon spends his money, but this gives us an insight into just how nutty he is about cars.
Here are the tweets:
More background: I arrived in North America at 17 w $2000, a backpack & a suitcase full of books. Paid my own way thru college. Dropped out of Stanford Eng/Phys grad school w $110k in college debt. Created Internet startup w bro & Greg Khouri (love bro & loved Greg, may he RIP)

Zip2 also built a newspaper publishing platform that brought hundreds of regional & city papers online for the first time, and made major functionality advancements to the NY Times, Boston Globe & Knight-Ridder websites. NYT, KR & Hearst were all major investors in Zip2.

This is why I’m not impressed when reporters who were literally in junior high while I was in newsrooms all round the world say that if I only knew how newsrooms really worked, then I’d know everything’s fine & no need for a media credibility rating system like Pravduh 🤔

While he sounds like he’s got a point, he admits spending the majority of his hard earned money on the McLaren F1 supercar. But this may turn out to be the best thing he’s ever done. Knowing how good the McLaren is means he knows how to beat it, and by the looks of things on Twitter, the next gen Roadster may be just the car to take the crown. If you believe him, of course.
You have my word, Marques. Next gen Roadster will be absolutely out of this world. For those who love to drive, there is no finer car in history and we don’t think there will be another.
