For many individuals, the final moments of life are typically spent in a hospital, at home, or in a cherished location.
However, leave it to Elon Musk to have a distinctly different vision for his end-of-life setting.
While it may seem an unusual choice for most, for the Tesla founder, it somewhat aligns with his broader ambitions.
According to Page Six, Musk recently attended Michael Milken’s annual Hamptons Prostate Cancer Foundation gala in August. He mingled with fellow billionaires including Julia Koch, Bill Ackman, Stephen Schwarzman, Rob Citrone, and Patrice Motsepe.
A source informed the publication that Milken had a ‘wide-ranging one-on-one chat’ with Musk. During this conversation, Musk was asked about the success of Starlink and commented on the poor cell service in the Hamptons.
Starlink, a satellite system created by Musk and a subsidiary of Space X, recently provided an isolated Amazon tribe with internet access.
The source quoted Musk saying: “I had important texts to respond to on the way here and couldn’t… people were asking where I was, Timbuktu?”
It was subsequently revealed by a source that Musk’s ideal place to die would be ‘on Mars’.
Musk later clarified to Page Six that Milken had referenced an old quote of his: “I’d like to die on Mars, just not on impact.”
He also mentioned that the Wifi in the Hamptons ‘is in desperate need of an upgrade’, adding: “I haven’t been to the Hamptons in many years and was only in the area for ~24 hours at Milken’s request for his cancer charity.”
In another development, Musk has been named in a criminal lawsuit filed by Algerian boxer, Imane Khelif.
Khelif garnered attention during this year’s Olympics after becoming involved in a gender eligibility test dispute.
Following her fight with Italian boxer, Angela Carini, which lasted only 46 seconds before Carini withdrew, reports emerged about Khelif’s alleged failure of an International Boxing Association’s (IBA) gender eligibility test. This led to social media users questioning Khelif’s gender.
Khelif was born a woman and her passport confirms her gender as female.
The International Olympic Committee (IOC) and the Algerian Olympic Committee both defended Khelif, with the IOC stating that ‘the gender and age of the athletes are based on their passport’.
After the Olympics, Khelif filed a complaint against those accused by French authorities of committing ‘acts of aggravated cyber harassment’.
Khelif’s lawyer confirmed that Elon Musk and Harry Potter author JK Rowling are named in the suit. They could potentially face jail time and significant fines.
