On a breezy autumn morning in San Francisco, the city buzzed with energy as people went about their daily routines. Elon Musk, dressed casually in a black T-shirt and jeans, was on his way to a Tesla event to unveil a new prototype. Instead of taking the usual car service, he decided to walk through a quieter neighborhood, hoping to clear his mind before the big presentation.
As he strolled past rows of townhouses, a faint whirring sound caught his attention. Curious, he followed the noise to a small garage with its door slightly ajar. Inside, a teenage boy was crouched over a contraption made of wires, scrap metal, and salvaged batteries. The boy, engrossed in his work, didn’t notice Musk standing at the edge of the garage.
“What are you building?” Musk asked, his voice breaking the silence. Startled, the boy looked up, his hands still gripping a soldering iron. His wide eyes quickly recognized the man standing before him. “You’re Elon Musk!” he stammered.
Musk smiled faintly. “And you’re a young engineer, I presume,” he said, stepping inside. “What’s this?”
The boy wiped his hands on his T-shirt nervously and pointed to the device. “It’s a prototype for a wind power generator. I’ve been working on it for months, trying to make it efficient enough to power a small home.”
Impressed, Musk crouched down to examine the setup. “You made this from scratch?”
“Mostly,” the boy replied. “I found parts at a junkyard and pieced them together. It’s not perfect yet, but it works.” A small fan whirred to life, lifting a few paperweights off the tiny desk.
“Not perfect, but it works. That’s a good start,” Musk said, nodding. “What’s your name?”
“Zack,” the boy replied, his confidence growing slightly.

“Well, Zack, you’ve got an impressive setup here. What’s the end goal?” Musk asked.
Zack hesitated. “I want to build affordable generators for rural areas where electricity is hard to come by, but I don’t have the resources or the tools to take it further.”
Musk nodded, sensing the boy’s ambition. “Stay here,” he said, before walking out of the garage. Twenty minutes later, he returned carrying a sleek laptop and a small toolkit. “Let’s see what you’ve got,” Musk said, setting the laptop on a makeshift table.
For the next two hours, Musk worked alongside Zack, analyzing the generator’s design, tweaking connections, and explaining concepts like energy efficiency and scalability. Zack soaked up every word, his excitement growing with each breakthrough.
As they finished testing an improved version of the generator, Musk leaned back and said, “You’ve got potential, Zack, but potential needs nurturing. How about I arrange for you to visit SpaceX or Tesla’s engineering labs? You can learn from the best and maybe even build something revolutionary.”
Zack’s jaw dropped. “Are you serious?”
Musk grinned. “Dead serious. Talent like yours shouldn’t go unnoticed.”

The following week, Zack found himself at Tesla’s headquarters, surrounded by engineers and innovators who welcomed him with open arms. Musk personally introduced him to the team, encouraging them to mentor the young inventor.
Months later, Zack’s generator design was refined and ready for mass production. With Musk’s guidance and Tesla’s resources, Zack’s dream of providing affordable electricity to rural areas became a reality.
During a launch event for the generators, Musk stood beside Zack on stage, watching as the young inventor presented his work to the world. As the audience erupted into applause, Musk leaned over and said, “Remember, Zack, it’s not about where you start; it’s about where you’re going.”
Zack beamed with pride, knowing that this moment was just the beginning of his journey. With the support of a visionary like Elon Musk, he was ready to change the world, one generator at a time.
Elon Musk mulls building an Iron Man ‘flying metal suit of armor’ after Trump assassination attempt
Elon Musk is looking to fortify his security following an assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump during a campaign rally Saturday.
A few hours after the shooting, a tech and cybersecurity blog, Whole Mars Catalog, tweeted at Musk to “beef up” his security.
“Maybe it’s time to build that flying metal suit of armor [sic],” Musk replied.
Prolific X-poster and Musk fan Ian Miles Cheong also pleaded with Musk to “triple” his security, writing that “if they can come for Trump they will also come for you.”
The Tesla CEO replied that two people had already attempted to assassinate him in the past eight months and that in both instances, they were arrested with guns.
“Dangerous times ahead,” Musk said.
Musk has previously entertained the concept of an Iron Man-esque supersuit. In 2021, he met with engineer and inventor Dylan Lange Edminston, who created a prototype of a flying suit made of iron, to discuss the invention.
It is unclear if Musk took the idea any further. Edminston and Musk did not respond to a request for comment.

A writer for Marvel Studios’ 2008 film Iron Man, Mark Fergus, also previously named Musk as an inspiration for the titular character in the series. Musk had a cameo in the second installment of the series in 2010.
Support for Trump
Since fully endorsing Trump mere minutes after the shooting, Musk has engaged almost non-stop in his support for the former president. Shortly after the shooting, he compared the presumptive Republican presidential nominee to former President Theodore Roosevelt.
On Saturday evening, the X CEO called for the head of the Secret Service, charged with protecting Trump, to resign, wondering if the agency’s “incompetence” was “deliberate.” He posted similar speculations throughout the night, at one point saying he couldn’t sleep.
As of Monday afternoon, Musk was still posting about the shooting. He has taken to calling the head of Secret Service “Director Cheetos” for her past work as the head of global security at PepsiCo. He said it was “super weird” that the public still didn’t have access to any posts from the 20-year-old shooter.
Musk also appears to be affronted by the mainstream media’s coverage of the event, calling for the Wall Street Journal to “clear house” over an article reporting on division following the shooting.
On Friday, sources told Bloomberg that Musk donated to America PAC, a super political action committee working to elect Trump, though it was unclear how much he gave. The filings should come out Monday evening.
