Helpful Elon Musk ideas we will see in the coming years

Elon has been busy lately, offering to chip in to solve various problems around the globe. Here are a few more possible initiatives that we might reasonably expect to see in the near future.

#1 - Elon Musk offers to build drone to rescue raccoon stuck in ceiling of a Brampton Tim Hortons​

This one is so inevitable that it barely counts as a hypothetical.

A few months from now, Elon Musk sees a viral video about a raccoon trapped in the ceiling of a Tim Hortons in Brampton, Ontario.

Musk leaps into action, grabbing a recently developed drone from his Los Angeles, California office and sending it to Brampton — not by plane, but flying the drone itself straight there.

The raccoon escapes by the time the drone arrives, but Elon leaves it there, in case the little fella returns sometime.

Mind you, everyone says it wasn't actually trapped; that it often enters, and then departs, and they don't know from where or to whence, and that it's not really a problem.

Elon disregards this.

#2 - Elon Musk offers to repair broken milkshake machine at Pickering McDonald's location

During a visit to McDonald's while campaigning in 2019, Justin Trudeau tweets a picture of himself enjoying a Happy Meal, accompanied by the caption "I'm lovin' it — well, maybe not the broken milkshake machine! Next time!"

Musk leaps into action, saying he has developed a unique tool to repair his home-blender whenever it won't make his smoothies.

He attempts to deliver this object via underground tunnel. No one in Pickering ever reports receiving it and Musk later says he can't remember making this promise.

#3 - Elon Musk offers to close Rogers Centre roof in 5 seconds

During Game 7 of the 2022 World Series (the AL Champion Toronto Blue Jays are hosting the Philadelphia Phillies in a rematch of the 1993 series), there is a sudden, intense rainstorm on an otherwise lovely autumn day.

The roof usually takes approximately 20 minutes to close, but with the rate of precipitation, that may lead to too much water on the field, and only the second suspension of a World Series game in history.

Musk reads about the situation on Twitter. He says he can close the roof in five seconds, for free, using the same technology that his company Tesla has developed for closing the sunroofs of their electric cars.

He tweets at Mark Shapiro, President & CEO of the Blue Jays, asking them to wait a few hours until he can 3-D print a prototype and fly it to the stadium to close the roof in 5 seconds, if you ignore all the time in between.

Or at least he thinks he tweets this at Mark Shapiro, who doesn't have a Twitter account. Musk's tweet goes viral, as do his frustrated follow-up tweets, the rain quickly calms down anyway before they even need to close the roof, and the Blue Jays win the series.
