CHICAGO, IL – JUNE 14: Engineer and tech entrepreneur Elon Musk of The Boring Company listens as Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel talks about constructing a high speed transit tunnel at Block 37 during a news conference on June 14, 2018 in Chicago, Illinois. Musk said he could create a 16-passenger vehicle to operate on a high-speed rail system that could get travelers to and from downtown Chicago and O’hare International Airport under twenty minutes, at speeds of over 100 miles per hour.

It’s the final season of Game of Thrones, and apparently everybody who’s anybody wants a look at the set before it closes down for good. For example, a month back, Star Wars creator George Lucas visited Titanic Studios in Belfast, where the bulk of the show is filmed, and left Emilia Clarke (Daenerys Targaryen) speechless.
Do you think he gave any dialogue advice?
Now, inventor, Tesla CEO and fellow billionaire Elon Musk has also paid a visit to the set, according the Belfast Telegraph. The Telegraph actually suggested on Twitter that Musk was visiting to consider investing, and Musk stepped in to set them straight.
Hey, you’d jump to conclusions too if you were wondering how to fill the Game of Thrones-sized hole in your economy that’ll open up after the show leaves in, like, a day.
Anyway, we’re guessing cast and crew weren’t quite as starstruck by Musk as they were for Lucas, but they did have the opportunity to hit the tycoon up for a set of those special Tesla rims. I wonder if Musk and his kids had to sign non nondisclosure agreements.
Musk made his initial fortune by founding online city guide Zip2 before starting the financial service company that went on to become PayPal. Nowadays, Musk is most famous for Tesla’s electric cars, space exploration company SpaceX and his fear that Westworld is going to happen for real.
