Take the red pill
..snip
Thats Tesla TSLA, +1.41% boss Elon Musk delivering a cryptic message on Sunday to his 34.3 million Twitter TWTR, +3.00% followers the latest in a long line of his social-media headscratchers.
After Musk recently named his child X Æ A-12, nothing should come as a surprise anymore. But, really, what is he talking about this time?
For the uninitiated, the red pill could be a reference to the science-fiction classic The Matrix.
Without going too far down the nerdy rabbit hole, the films protagonist, played by Keanu Reeves, is given a choice: He can take the blue pill and return to his regular life, or he can choose the red pill and learn the whole truth about living in a computer simulation.
Basically, blissful ignorance or hard truths.

She is, of course, a computer simulation herself.

Her father is about to be roasted, toasted and burnt over his incessant lying and the corruption at every level of his administration.
Make it so.
