We’re gonna prank Elon Musk while also helping immigrants who are arriving from Mexico seeking asylum. Elon frequently flies into Brownsville, TX which is close to where SpaceX launches rockets. On the drive between the SpaceX campus and the airport there are only a handful of places where you can get a nice meal. A couple food trucks, a couple taquerias... So we're doing a Carrotmob: a massive group purchase which gives businesses an incentive to do something cool. We all make a big pile of money, and then offer the money (in the form of a mass purchase of gift cards), to whichever business changes the name of their business to: “Free food for Elon Musk if he starts going to therapy” We're talking about making a huge sign, ideally something big and blinky that looks like Burning Man art. We hope to recruit one or more businesses to sign legal contracts and embrace names like this on their signs, menus, website, social media, DoorDash, Google Maps, etc. If they do, we will send them all the money in exchange for gift cards. We're going to donate these gift cards to asylum seeking immigrants crossing the Mexican border (which is just a couple miles from these restaurants). These immigrants will benefit from a nice free meal, these small businesses will get a ridiculous sales boost, and Elon Musk will benefit from therapy. He has never gone to therapy and says he won't, but can you imagine how much better the world might be if he did? Anyway, since Elon responds to financial incentive, we are also requiring all participating businesses to promise to give Elon one (1) free entree for every therapy session he attends. He just needs to bring a receipt from his therapist or a signed doctor's note to the restaurant to redeem his free therapy reward burrito. The vision is that Elon and thousands of SpaceX employees and business partners are constantly doing this drive and also looking for food on Google Maps or DoorDash, but every food option they see within 30 minutes has a name like "Why exactly is Elon so afraid of going to therapy? Bar and Grill". Everyone at SpaceX just constantly confronted with this question. 💀💀💀 That's the funny part, but also the last week has been rough for Mexican immigrants, let's show love and support in a direct and tangible way.
