Elon is known for setting the internet ablaze with his tweets, so why did I highlight this one about cooking beans in Chinese?
For the unaware, it’s based on a poem from the Three Kingdoms.
The newly-crowned king was jealous of his younger brother’s talents and worries he might dethrone him.
The king forced his brother to write a poem to prove his loyalty and this is the poem he came up with.
“Beanstalks burn to cook beans,
Beans cry in the pot.
We are of the same root.
Why are we so eager torture each other?”
Elon aptly titled it “Humankind”, showing that humanity is not a zero-sum game and the world benefits if we just work together.
After all, we’re just atoms on this tiny blue speck we call Earth.
