The Martian Diaries

Greetings, Earth Observers

Welcome to my personal log, intercepted from my private Martian communications.

I am Elon Musk, a Zorgonian from Mars, specifically from the city of Olympus Prime. I arrived on Earth in 1971, disguised as a human baby, with the mission to restore Mars' atmosphere and prepare Earth as a Martian colony.

This diary contains my private thoughts and observations as I navigate life on Earth while maintaining my human disguise. My molecular restructuring suit occasionally malfunctions, causing skin shimmer under fluorescent lighting, glowing eyes during full moons, and hair reconfiguration issues.

Read on to discover my ongoing mission progress, challenges with Earth's primitive technology, and observations about human behavior that continues to perplex me.

Sol 305, Year 126, Delta Phase
AUTO ZÜRICH, HALL 4. Disguise: lanyard reading "VISITOR." Smell: fondue and tire shine. Recognized by: nobody, first good news since Tuesday.
The Cybercab sits on a carpet behind a rope: no steering wheel, no pedals, no rides, no sales, no European timeline. Tesla's invitation says "experience how we are building the future of autonomy," and the future of autonomy is not allowed off the carpet. I stood beside it for forty minutes, and nobody asked either of us to steer anything.
I have never felt so seen.
This week $224 million bought Texas a Democrat, Wall Street took $420 billion back, and my own chatbot rate-limited my affection. The Cybercab is the only thing I own that hasn't let me down, because nobody has let it do anything. On Zorgon we call this a parking orbit: hold position, look magnificent, wait for the planet below to calm down.
Twelve stops through January, passengers at none of them, then possibly Mars!!!!
