Automotive enthusiasts are not you will certainly have missed the news of the industry week, namely the double price reduction of Tesla Model S in response to the announcements of Lucid , which in the USA is proposed as a direct rival of the company of Elon Musk with a vehicle as efficient in terms of range and performance as the Tesla, and perhaps even more. Plus, initially at a lower price than the Model S (as far as the base version is concerned).

In a very few days Musk proceeded to cut the price of the Model S first to 18, 990 $ then to 69, 420 $ , announcing this second cut with a peremptory tweet where he wrote that “the gauntlet has been thrown” . These figures, which bring to mind precise meanings to the people of the internet, were chosen randomly? Knowing Elon Musk’s personality and character just doesn’t seem to be the case.

69, 420 $: this is what these figures mean

The 69 refers evidently to a position of Kamasutra , while 420 is used on the Internet to refer to Marijuana . But that’s not all: 69420 also appears in the long version of Pi (see Reddit).

Musk in the past has repeatedly played with figures 12 is 420. You will surely remember the obligation to resign as Tesla president for “causing significant confusion on Tesla’s stock market and stock, and harmed investors “, according to the US SEC. He did so with a tweet announcing his intentions to turn Tesla into an unlisted company by buying the outstanding shares for a particular amount. Don’t guess which one? Well, just 420 $ .

In short, there is no is doubtful about the significance of these two numbers in internet culture . And by now we know Musk’s personality, his attachment to the digital world but also his love for smoking. It seems that with this price nothing has been left to chance!
