    I don't know how I agreed to it as I'm not good with heights. I hated it, not gonna go again!

    This one took an unexpected twist (2 minutes 20 seconds):

    Also, note Musk's very real expression of revulsion in the first few seconds of watching a video clip of himself catching some boos recently on stage with Dave Chapelle - Looks like it almost makes him physically ill - It reveals a rare glimpse into his baseline workings IMO, explains some of the rash moves he makes.

    Not saying he's a good guy or a bad guy it's not about that, the trappings are often quite nuanced, it's just an observation.

    This has been my observation for quite some time too now. He is in it for the attention and perceived admiration. Narcissism is possible.

    This YouTube short of Jimmy Page gave me a good chuckle. I well remember playing records backwards over and over and over during a spell as a teenager, and the two biggest I recall were "Turn me on dead man", and "glory here's to my sweet satan" as he laughingly remembers.

    When you're 17, freshly stoned, and think you're hearing "glory here's to my sweet satan" when playing "Stairway to Heaven" backwards, well now that was just some dark trippy shit for young fragile eggshell minds of the time.
