“Something funny. Elon and I applied for jobs at the same time, with Netscape/Jim Clark, Elon did not get hired. I did get hired in the flight department. And the rest is history!”

“Wow, Elon was already a tech wizard at 17! No surprise he’s now running the world (and maybe Mars soon). What’s your favorite ‘genius Elon’ memory from back then? Let’s hear more proud mom stories.”

“Brilliant brain, your son is so gifted it’s hard to put it all in words to compliment him, and you….and back in 1989 as a 14 year old I was just dreaming about underground tunnels that could possibly teleport me to my best friend’s house which was half a mile away.”

“Elon deserves a Nobel prize. He’s literally done more for the betterment of humanity than most people who have ever existed. I’m not being hyperbolic when I state that basic truth. We’re so lucky to have him as a citizen of the greatest nation on earth!”
