Another wrote, "I'm gonna put: Elon Musk is so desperate to get to planet Mars, be organized a coup to topple Bolivian populist dictator Evo Morales in order to get his hands on 50% of the world's reserves of Lithium.
Anything else to add?"

"All major wars, diseases and financial disasters of the last century can be directly attributed to Mr Musk or one of his companies," one user tweeted to seek Musk's approval.
Musk also approved of a suggestion to edit his page to describe him as a "business magnet" instead of a "business magnate".
Musk's bizarre request on Twitter has gone viral with over 201.3K likes, 12.8K retweets and 5.8K comments.
Due to the overwhelming traffic on Musk's Wikipedia page, it was quickly locked by the company so that no one can edit it anymore.
