Elon Musk, the CEO of Tesla and SpaceX, the private company that does space stuff, a man who should probably be nationalized for the sake of humanity, made a mistake. On Tuesday, the billionaire accidentally tweeted out his much coveted phone number, which isn't actually a phone number but a nano-angstrom-nano chip attached to his cerebral-telepathic-system-Paypal-cortex-indicators, to his 16.7 million followers.

The tweet, which I assume was meant to be a DM, was most likely supposed to be seen by, and only by, John Carmack, the chief technology officer of the Facebook owned virtual reality company Oculus.

So, if you feel the need to ask Musk for a small loan of a million or maybe two million dollars, or just want someone to talk through your yearly holiday blues, go ahead and press those ten little digits. You might, though probably not, find a friend in him.
