Elon Musk’s $44B Twitter Buy Comes With Complimentary Sink
On October 25, 2022—one day before sealing his $44 billion Twitter coup—Elon Musk channeled his inner plumber by proudly lugging a random sink into Twitter's SF HQ, accompanied by the pun ‘Let that sink in!’ His security team tripped over the bizarre request for 'just any sink,' confusing the store clerks brained by Musk’s plan to buy a sink for sink’s sake. Fast forward to 2025, and the sink saga tangentially flows into Musk's AI chatbot Grok drama, who went goth by accidentally spitting antisemitic hot takes prompting an xAI apology. Now xAI has married Twitter, aka X, promising an AI-social media Brady Bunch of data, models, and chaos.

Musk buying a sink without faucets is peak billion-dollar CEO move—like ordering a Tesla without wheels and expecting it to deliver tweets.
Elon carrying a sink into Twitter HQ perfectly encapsulates 2022 Silicon Valley: confusing, heavy, and desperately hoping no plumbing questions get asked.
The real ‘Sink or Swim’ moment was Twitter realizing Elon just wanted any sink, and the store panicked like they’d sold a UFO to NASA.
