Elon Musk decided to ask his Twitter followers if he should sell his shares to pay the tax due on the vesting of his stock options. And it looked as if this was prompted by the Biden Administration's proposed 'Billionaire Tax'

Join your Simblified hosts as they try to find out how distressing it is for billionaires to contemplate losing some of it to taxes and what could happen if they really do.

Add one part news, one-part bad jokes, one part Wikipedia research, one part cult references from spending too much time on the internet, one part Wodehouse quotes, and one part quality puns, and you get Simblified.

A weekly podcast to help you appear smarter, to an audience that knows no less! Your four hosts - Chuck, Naren, Srikeit and Tony attempt to deconstruct topics with humour (conditions apply).

If you’re a James Bond fan, you’ve certainly seen the 1977 film The Spy Who Loved Me. You’d also know that there is literally no way that Bond could adequately investigate the disappearance of British and Russian submarines without at least a basic submarine car.

So the movie incorporated an amphibious vehicle that could drive on both land and sea, played by a modified 1976 Lotus Esprit. 

The Wet Nellie, as it was nicknamed, was auctioned off in 2013 for about a million bucks and its buyer was none other than the notorious innovator Elon Musk, who said seeing Bond drive the Esprit off a pier and press a button to transform it into a submarine was “the coolest thing (he had) seen in a movie.”

And if you’re Elon Musk and you think something is cool, you will go the ends of the earth to make it viable in real life – just look at Tesla, SpaceX, Solar City, The Boring Company … you get it.

That’s why it’s fun, and not exactly surprising, that Elon Musk recently revealed to a group of shareholders that Tesla actually has a design for a submarine car like the one from the famous film.

Musk acknowledges that this endeavor would be difficult. We agree. It would involve, he says, upgrading the Lotus Esprit with a Tesla electric powertrain and may only result in an eventual “show car.”

If it were ever to be commercially available the market, he says, would be “small but enthusiastic.”
