    im not sure where the fuck you get off
    elon musk invented paying for things on the internet
    to do this he first had to invent paying for things then invented internet
    on a cocktail napkin he determined things move faster in vacuums
    thats not the kind of thing every student picks up in high school physics my man
    he had to draw a whole tube then a little choochoo in the tube then explain it to the retarted girl he was drinking with
    now youre up his ass because he has invented alternative accounting and alternative profitability
