Is there anything sillier than a billionaire? Thanks to a billionaire, a red sports car is now pootling about outer space. Elon Musk — PayPal tycoon, visionary loon — whooshed it up there on a rocket. “It’s kind of silly,” he says. Yes it is. It is also kind of an ad for Tesla Motors. He is not that silly. Either way, he has made us all look a little ridiculous. When aliens discover a sexy red sports car off-roading through the cosmos they are going to think Earth is having a midlife crisis.
这世上还有什么比亿万富翁更愚蠢的吗?多亏一位亿万富翁,如今才有一辆红色跑车在外太空漫游。埃隆•马斯克(Elon Musk)——创立了PayPal的大亨、有远见的傻子——用一枚火箭嗖地把这辆跑车送上了天。“这有点儿傻,”他说。没错,是傻。这也算是给特斯拉汽车(Tesla Motors)打的广告。他可没那么傻。不管怎样,他倒让我们看起来都有点可笑。当外星人发现一辆性感的红色跑车在宇宙中穿梭时,他们会认为地球正在经历中年危机。
