EXCLUSIVE 'Elon's become a lot more nasty and yelling at people.' FREDDY GRAY hears Washington whispers that the billionaire's brain is 'decaying' under the pressure, as rumours swirl of his ketamine, ecstasy and mushrooms 'cocktail'
At the height of his power, Alexander the Great wept because there were no more worlds left to conquer. Elon Musk, the richest man of our age, may have been blubbing for a different reason last week, as yet another of his unfathomable ambitions came crashing to earth.
On its ninth test flight, his SpaceX 'Starship' enterprise, which has been designed to make 'humans an interplanetary species', went up with barely a hitch. Then, on re-entry into Earth's atmosphere, the 400ft machine lost contact with the control room, span out of control and blew up. Musk, wearing his favoured 'OCCUPY MARS ' T-shirt for the big occasion, tried to put a positive spin on Starship's third mid-flight immolation in a row. He called the crash-test 'a big improvement' and posted triumphant videos of the spacecraft thrusting majestically towards the heavens.
