Musk's composition of this name sounds like an acronym an exceptionally immature 12-year-old might come up with. If I were as visible and prominent as Elon is, I'd want to be known for WAY better jokes, acronyms etc. Does this unimaginative "school name" reflect the man? I hope not.

We live in a new age of silliness, nonsense and poor taste for business names. E.G. my town has a REAL company called "WTF Group" that markets condos.

Elon's gaffe is a rather sad reflection on taste - and certainly not respectful to women - but I guess our society has WAY worse problems than THIS lapse to worry about.

The whole point of the tweet was to make this joke. Musk does dumb memes like this all the time, for whatever reason. He has no intention of actually launching a school.

Of course you're right about not opening a school. The (poor) joke was pretty obvious - even to me. I did NOT know, however, that he was known for frequent dumb memes like this. Thanks for the info. Gives me a whole new outlook on Elon. One I really don't think he wants people to have. Or does he?

Maybe he's just so darn rich he doesn't care.
