In true Elon Musk style, he entertained Twitter users last night with tweets about his company, promising to slash the model S price to $69420. What’s the meaning behind 69420, you ask? We’ll explain.
It’s that Elon cut the prices in response to Lucid reducing their entry-level sedan price to $69,900.
Then Elon , “The gauntlet has been thrown down! The prophecy will be fulfilled. Model S price changes to $69,420 tonight!”
So we’re sure we don’t have to explain what the two separate numbers mean to anyone who’s been on the internet in the last decade. But, 69 is a sex position and 420 is internet slang for weed. Classic.
Although we won’t dwell too much on any possible history between Elon and the first numbers, he has a comedic streak with the use of 420 in his business.
Plus, Elon isn’t a stranger to weed meme culture, and the internet watched him smoke weed with Joe Rogan on The Joe Rogan Experience in 2018.
But, what you might not know is the number also appears in the equation for Pi, although in the long version that you’re not taught at school. You have to thank for this discovery.
In August 2018 he that he was considering taking Tesla private and changing stocks to $420. The US Securities and Exchange Commission didn’t find his tweet so funny though, and he eventually was accused of misleading investors, leading him to as chairman of Tesla.
