It's holiday season so of course a couple with their camper van thought it acceptable to break my fence and camp overnight on my land. They are now blocked in with our small tractor, should be fun when they wake up.

I reckon it would have taken Elon longer to burn 44 billion dollars in cash than it's taken to do it metaphorically.
