随着推特首席执行官埃隆·马斯克的一些迷惑行为的出现，一些人可能想知道他到底在想什么。他从《时代》周刊的“年度人物”，变成了有史以来第一个个人净资产在一年到第二年损失2000亿美元的人。

现在，马斯克似乎成了科技界最新的反派，问题来了：他在乎吗？答案很简单:不。埃隆·马斯克只关心埃隆·马斯克的想法。

经常关注马斯克的人会注意到，这位亿万富翁在推特上深情地回应他自己说过的话——很多。这种情况已经持续一段时间了。这就像看着马斯克和自己进行一场充满崇拜的对话。“不得不这么做，”他在回复一段引文时说。“很少有人明白这一点，”他在另一篇文章中说。

对于马斯克来说，找到他在推特上说过的话的引用并不难，他沉迷于440亿美元的蓝鸟。除了粉丝和朋友们在推特上发布他说过的话外，还有很多账户都在吐槽马斯克浮夸、随意或愚蠢的格言，比如@马斯克qu0tes和@马斯克大学。需要澄清的是，后者并不是一所真正的大学。

马斯克的回答各不相同。有些可以是简单的“绝对”或“是的”。其他时候，他会在原文的基础上进行补充，或者为很少人或没有人“理解”眼前的话题而哀叹。总的来说，看到一个自恋的亿万富翁和他所说的事情互动是非常有趣的。

As Twitter CEO Elon Musk continues to bamboozle the world, some might be wondering what the hell he’s thinking. This is a person who went from being TIME’s ‘Person of the Year’ to being the first person ever to lose $200 billion in personal net worth from one year to the next. Now, it looks like Musk is tech’s newest villain, begging the question: Does he even care?

The answer is simple: No. Elon Musk only cares about what Elon Musk thinks. All you need to do is check out his Twitter feed to confirm it.

Frequent Musk watchers will have noticed that the billionaire responds fondly to tweets featuring things he himself he has said—a lot. This has been going on for a while now. It’s like watching Musk have an adoring conversation with himself. “Had to be done,” he says in one reply to a quote. “So few understand this,” he says in another.

It’s not exactly hard for Musk to find quotes of things he’s said on Twitter, his $44 billion blue bird addiction. Besides fans and buddies tweeting out things he says, there are entire accounts dedicated to spitting out grandiose, random, or asinine Musk aphorisms, such as @muskQu0tes and @MuskUniversity. To be clear, the latter is not an actual university.

Musk’s responses vary. Some can be a simple “Absolutely” or “Yup.” Other times, he adds to what he says in the original quote or laments the fact that few or no one “understands” the topic at hand. Overall, seeing a self-absorbed billionaire interact with things he’s said is pretty damn funny.

Click through to check out 12 times Musk agreed with his own quotes or essentially talked to himself on Twitter. The topics are wide-ranging, given that, of course, Musk knows everything.
