    Don’t try to rationalise it, it’s CEO speak :

    He’s not making a comparison to Hitchhikers, he’s trying to attract attention.

      I think this would be a safe bet with 99% of tech ceos. but in the tech won’t save us series on musk there’s an audio clip of him talking about hitchhiker’s. and it seems pretty clear that

      1 he did read it

      2 he does admire it and think of it as informing his goals

      3 his understanding of the book is that it’s haha funny but on a deeper level it’s saying we should do things like build giant planet sized computers. also something about weed

        i mean he clearly read the Culture books too but somehow compared himself to the Minds and not to Joiler Veppers

      There I go again, assuming when people speak it has meaning rather than just being distracting sounds that come out of a hole in their face.
