Capital City, Earth – Satellite Starlink XB-4590 has shut down yesterday, February 8, 2132, following a geomagnetic storm that irreparably crippled its circuits. XB-4590 was 5 months old. It is survived by the 32,008 other active Starlink satellites orbiting the Earth. SpaceX CEO Elon Musk IV declined to comment for this article.



My main takeaway here is that Elon Musk's grandson, "∑∫π²∞", decided he was tired of the escalating unicode name game and just named his kid Elon Musk IV.


> ∑∫π²∞

This reads: Sigma Integral Pi-Squared Infinitiy.

There are worse names ¯\_(ツ)_/¯


> There are worse names

The last name: Musk.

And he tries to clean it.

Dunno - quote from Musk

>‘My dad will have a carefully thought-out plan of evil. He will plan evil. Almost every crime you can possibly think of, he has done. Almost every evil thing you could possibly think of, he has done. It’s so terrible, you can’t believe it.’

Doesn't really sound like he's trying to say all the Musks were wonderful.


In Rolling Stone? Wow. Did not know that.


It would be Elon IV Musk ... if they cared to follow the norm.


I think you misread that. Elon Musk IV is the given name. Her full name is Elon Musk IV Musk. The same way Mario's and Luigi's full names are Mario Mario and Luigi Mario.

Her friends call her IV.


A high altitude aircraft will take a sample of the atmosphere where XB-4590 burned up on reentry so that it's remains may be interred at the local e-waste processing facility.
