Star Wars and Elon Musk outlook
By: Jake Rajala
The world’s richest man, Elon Musk, has been influenced by Star Wars. He told Ted Cruz that “Star Wars: Empire Strikes Back” was the first film that he watched in theaters. I loved the first movie feeling. The first film that I watched in theaters was none other than “The Dark Knight Rises”. After the film, I was so inspired and filled with bliss, that I went for a run around the block. It may sound blasphemous to say it, but I liked the film more than “The Dark Knight”, likely due to seeing it in theater before watching “The Dark Knight”.
So, is Musk simply a normal fan of Star Wars? Well, there’s to it. He named his Falcons rockets after the Millennium Falcon. If he fails, at least he publicly made a fine gesture to Star Wars.
He has also done some pretty cool stuff with his business, outside of Star Wars. He sent a Tesla Roadster to space with a mannequin named “Starman”.
So, things may going south with Elon’s obsession over Star Wars. He stated that the Lucasfilm President is “more deadly” than the Death Star.
I don’t believe he disagrees with all of Star Wars. Besides watching and naming his toys over Star Wars, he hung out with George Lucas at a party. Lucas may have made a mistake selling Star Wars to Disney. I wouldn’t be surprised if Musk tried to get his hands into creating some Star Wars material. After all, he surprised us all with his acquistion of Twitter.
He loves watching Star Wars: Bad Batch with Lil Baby X. The show has a Rotten Tomatoes score of 88%. This adds more speculation that he wants to be a part of it.
