Before I answer the question, Top 40? Seriously? On an average it costs, $90 for university application and $50 for sending your GRE, TOEFL scores to the university. So for 40 universities it would be around $5600 equivalent to 3.75 lakh rupees. Unless you are ultra rich, consider the advice of selecting 10-15 universities, which are a match to your interests and academic profile.Tip for university selection:While selecting universities, you would like to look at the profile of Professors, especially if you are seeking a PhD degree. For Master applicants, check out the academic program, courses offered and specializations offered at the college. (E.g: Civil engineering has lots of sub-divisions like Water Resources, Transportation, Structure etc. but not all these specializations are available at the universities.) So make sure you choose the university wisely.Now getting back to the question. You want to apply for Spring 2017. The deadline for Spring semester is mostly around first week of October. So you have around 6 months left for your preparations. Although it's already late, but we can always do some crisis management. Lets divide the process into 3 stages:GRE + TOEFLSOP+LORApplicationFirst Stage (GRE+TOEFL):Let's consider, you are not so good in English, so the preparation would take around 3 months at least. So you can take GRE and TOEFL in the first week of July. Since, most of the Fall 2017 applicants would be planning to take GRE and TOEFL around the same period, you should consider doing the booking well in advance. First step to preparation would be to understand the test pattern. You can do that by looking at mock test papers online at official GRE/TOEFL website. Now GRE is an aptitude test and has often been confused as a test for English. If GRE is the test for English, then why take TOEFL? GRE evaluates the candidates verbal and quantitative aptitude by testing his/her understanding about usage of suitable words at appropriate positions, ability to correctly understand scientific writings, critically analysis skills and quantitative skills (mathematical problem solving). Most challenging part of the two is verbal aptitude, which requires good knowledge of vocabulary and its usage. Quantitative is rather easy and scoring. Many Quorites have already written an answer about GRE preparation. I found this one to be really helpful, Shruti Rijhwani's answer to How should I plan my preparation for GRE?Moving to TOEFL, it has four sections - Reading, Listening, Speaking and Writing. Of these, Speaking is considered the most challenging. Now, since you are considering applying to some top universities, you TOEFL score needs to be higher than their requirements. Most universities post the minimum TOEFL score requirement on their application website. It can range anywhere between 81-110 marks. And Speaking section carries special weight as most universities have separate cutoff for the same. It is generally in the range of 20-26, with 26 being considered as the magic number, as it is the upper limit to TOEFL cutoff. NOTEFULL is a very good web resource for TOEFL preparation. You should not miss out the official TOEFL practice test which can be downloaded from the official website (http://www.ets.org/toefl). Once you give GRE, you will find TOEFL to be relatively very easy. I myself did not use much resources apart from the above mentioned ones. However you can again find some good answers by fellow Quorans. What is the best study material for TOEFL?Second Stage (SOP+LOR)At this stage you are in the month of July, which gives you just enough time for preparing the documents for your application. SOP or the statement of purpose is a very important document in your application. It should reflect your motivation behind your application and how you plan to pursue the course. What admission committees are really looking for is a research statement. What admission committees want is a statement about what research you have done, what research you hope to do, and why you like research.Here’s a template if you need one:i. First paragraph – Describe the general areas of research that interest you and why. (This is helpful for a committee to determine which professors should read your application.)ii. Second paragraph, Third, and Fourth paragraphs – Describe some research projects that you worked on. What was the problem you were trying to solve? Why was it important? What approaches did you try? What did you learn? It’s fine to say that you were unable to fully solve your problem.iii. Fifth paragraph – Describe why you feel you need a Ph.D./MS. Look back to section 2 and explain what in there appealed to you.iv. Sixth paragraph – Describe why you want to come to the university. Whom might you like to work with? What papers have you looked at from the university that you enjoyed reading? Why is this university the right place for you?It’s important to realize that the research statement is not a commitment to do research in that area. A third of all applicants end up working in an area different from that which they described on their research statement.Generally 3 letter of recommendations are required for each application. So I would suggest you to ask your professors for recommendation well in advance (over a month) of the deadline, so that they have ample time for writing it. The letters are generally to be submitted online on the university portal by the professor. Generally most of the professors ask for a template, so its a good idea to prepare one. Ideally you would like to make all your letters of recommendation count. Consider the following two letters:i. Letter 1: “I highly recommend student X for your graduate program. Student X received an A+ in my undergraduate algorithms class. He was ranked Number 2 out of 100 students. He got the highest score on the final. He worked very hard all semester, never missed a class,and was always able to answer the questions that I asked in class. This conscientious attitude makes him an excellent candidate for any graduate program. ”ii. Letter 2: “I highly recommend student Y for your graduate program. Student Y received a B in my undergraduate algorithms class. He was ranked Number 29 out of 100 students. Halfway through the semester we started working on network flows. Student Y seemed extremely excited by this topic. He disappeared for 4 weeks and even missed an exam. However when he came back, he showed me some work he had been doing on a new network flow algorithm for high-degree graphs. He had done some simulations and had some proofs. I’ve been working with student Y for the past couple months since then and he is full of ideas for new algorithms. I think student Y’s initiative makes him an excellent candidate for any graduate program.”Which letter do you think is stronger? It turns out that Letter 2 is very strong. Letter 1 actually counts as 0 and are marked as D.W.I.C.. This stands for“Did Well In Class” which counts for 0, since the reviewers already know from the student’s transcript that (s)he did well in class. By contrast, student Y’s letter gives us a lot of information. It explains that the reason student Y didn’t do better in class was that he was busy doing research. It also tells that student Y started doing research on his own initiative, and that he is quite good at doing research. The professor was impressed enough with student Y’s ideas that he took him on as a student researcher despite student Y not having high grades.You want your letters to all be of type 2 (this doesn’t mean that you should skip class!). Remember that letters of type 1 will not count. You want words like self-motivated, strong research potential , own initiative, independent, and driven to appear in your letters. These are the words that we circle when reading recommendation letters. You therefore want to ask letters from people who have seen you do research. These may be professors or employers.It makes a difference whom you ask for a letter. A letter counts a lot more if the admissions committee knows the recommender. As a general rule of thumb, letters from professors count the most. Next highest are letters from research scientists. After that come letters from lecturers, systems scientists, employers, or postdocs.Third Stage (Applications)Considering that it would take you over a month to prepare your SOP and LOR, you are into mid August. All the universities would be open to Spring applications by this stage. Now considering that you have made choice of universities, you will need to make a separate online account for each university application. An application is generally 10-14 pages long and requires time for filling. You can fill out the university application in multiple stages. After you make your account, you will need to look for missing documents. Many universities require supplementary documents in addition to your SOP, LOR, Resume etc. These can be diversity essays, handwriting sample, video resume etc. Check for these. Also check if you need to send your official transcript to the university at this stage. If yes make sure you send it at least 15 days prior to application deadline. Also, LOR request to professors (in the form of email) is generally sent from within the application. This complete process would take you about 1 month and you will have your application completed just in time. Hope this answer helps you.All the best for your application process.

You decide:In his earlier years he said he was motivated to significantly better the world and go into business doing it. He identified the key areas that needed improvement and said he would focus on those. Musk has no interest in going the easy route. He is brilliant, intense, known to be cold in person, and persistent as hell once he sets a goal. Most people would be content with focusing on one area, like green automotibles. No Musk, he runs several highly innovative, “moonshot” type companies. Musk himself is not an inventor. He is more like Steve Jobs, although vastly more important. iPhones are cute, but going to Mars is quite another.Elon Musk used to be kind of an asshole, too. But with his success, so has his assholeishness. He went from slightly asshole to Bond villain with the following Tweet:His sense of entitlement has reached the megalomaniac level. Who believes he has the right to literally overthrow a government because it serves his business interests? This guy.But it doesn’t end there. Oh no.Let me define “asshole” (a technical term in this case) as in the book Assholes, a Theory by philosopher Aaron James. In this work, he defines an “asshole” as someone who:Allows himself to enjoy special advantages and does so systematically;Does this out of an entrenched sense of entitlement;Is immunized by his sense of entitlement against the complaints of other people.Now I’m going to allow for the possibility that someone of extraordinary intelligence and originality like Elon Musk or Mark Zuckerberg or Steve Jobs (deceased) may, in fact, deserve special advantages and may even be entitled to them. What makes the brilliant and creative person at this level cross the line into being an “asshole” is the completely unnecessary (except psychologically perhaps) and in fact dangerous self-immunization against the complaints of other people. To my mind, this reflects a weakness of character, not the entitlement of brilliance. What’s the weakness and what’s the price they pay?The weakness is that “assholes” self-identify with their brilliance, defining themselves as different and better than all others, out of fear that everything else about them is somehow inferior, unlovable or unacceptable. If you find this painfully close to the truth, then chances are you’re NOT an asshole, because a true asshole wouldn’t recognize himself in this paragraph. A true asshole probably wouldn’t even read this blog. If you recognize some truth in this statement, there’s hope for you and you may be a jerk, not an asshole.The price that true assholes pay is that, as said above, they don’t get the benefit of feedback from others, even other brilliant types. Out of fear of weakness, they’re closed off to it, shielded from it. They just can’t hear it. If for example, Elon Musk is an asshole and not just brilliant or even just a jerk, then he will not hear the advice given by others, even by others who admire or love him, that he needs management help. I don’t know Musk well enough (having had one conversation at a dinner party once) to say for sure that he is or isn’t a true “asshole.” His behavior does hint at it. Let’s take a look at his behavior and how others advise him:At Tesla, my earlier statement that Chairperson Robyn Denholm is not Elon Musk’s “adult supervision” in any meaningful way was confirmed by Musk himself in an interview with CBS’s 60 Minute’s Lesley Stahl last week. The subject came up in conversation about Musk’s tweets, specifically with the SEC requirement that tweets be pre-approved (by an internal oversight person or group) if they contain, or reasonably could contain, information material to the Company or its shareholders. Musk claimed “The only tweets that would have to be, say, ‘reviewed’ would be if a tweet had a probability of causing a movement in the stock [price],” Musk told Stahl. “Otherwise, it’s, ‘hello, first amendment.’ Like, freedom of speech is fundamental.”Stahl missed the opportunity to catch Musk on the main point that it’s not just stock movement that the SEC is concerned about, but went ahead and tried to catch him on a more subtle point, which did lead to an interesting response from Musk:STAHL: “But how do they know if it’s going to move the market if they’re not reading all of them before you send them?”MUSK: “Well, I guess we might make some mistakes. Who knows?”STAHL: “Are you serious?”MUSK: “Nobody’s perfect.” [Laughs.]STAHL: “Look at you.”MUSK: “I want to be clear, I do not respect the SEC. I do not respect them”STAHL: “But you’re abiding by the settlement, aren’t you?”MUSK: “Because I respect the justice system.”Later in the interview, Musk was asked about his company’s new chairperson, Robyn Denholm, who replaced him as part of the settlement. The “impression was that [Denholm] was put into kind of watch over you,” Stahl said. Typically, the job of the chairperson of a board of directors is to serve as the CEO’s boss.“That’s not realistic, in the sense that I’m the largest shareholder in the company, and I can just call for a shareholder vote and get anything done that I want,” Musk replied.This is exactly what I claimed a few weeks ago in this blog, that no one should expect Denholm to “check” or “supervise” Musk. I wasn’t surprised at all that he would confirm this. But does this make Musk an “asshole”, or will Musk in fact be open to a true partnership with someone like Denholm.As you may know from my writings (e.g. this blog and Born to Star), I’m a fan of Elon Musk as a heroic “vision master” though I don’t defend some aspects of his public persona, and wanting the best for him and his ventures, call for partnering with professional Execution Masters like Gwynne Shotwell at SpaceX. The nature of such a wonderful partnership at its best is not to “check” or “supervise” the Vision Master but to compliment him or her out of mutual respect.Many other business commentators and investors seem to agree with me. See for example see Elon Musk Need to Bring in a Strong Number 2 at Tesla (Elon Musk needs to recognize his limitations and bring in a strong No. 2 to help run Tesla: Analysts)“We think he’s going through a founder’s dilemma. He’s clearly stretched too thin,” Consumer Edge Research analyst James Albertine said on “Squawk Box.” “I think this is Elon going through personal issues, having his own struggles with the bears, very publicly.”“The board needs to bring in a chief operating officer or co-CEO to take some of the pressures off of Musk and allow him to concentrate on being a ‘brilliant leader as a visionary,'” contended Albertine.Oppenheimer analyst Colin Rusch, interviewed on CNBC along with Albertine, also believes Musk needs help.“I think it’s really going to have to come from Elon,” he said. “If he can grow up enough to recognize where his limits are, I think, it would be tremendous for the stock and actually very good for the company … I think they need another presence that can actually counterbalance Elon’s capabilities in terms of visualizing a new reality for an industry with someone who can really mine the pennies and nickels and the details of an operation in a way he can’t,” Rusch concluded.Musk’s willingness and ability to work so well with Gwynne Shotwell at SpaceX give me hope that he will eventually listen to advisors such as myself, Albertine and Rusch, as well as a near-peer Sir Richard Branson. Branson’s advice is found at Richard Branson gives Elon Musk some advice: Learn to delegate and get some sleep. If he’ll eventually listen to advisors, or at least consider his own success at SpaceX, then we could safely conclude that Elon Musk is not an “asshole” and might be a good example for you as a Vision Master yourself.[1]Musk’s newfound assholishness knows no bounds:The people who do the actual work of building the cars at Tesla are trying to unionize. Tesla’s response to that, they say, has been to fire union supporters. Last year, Elon Musk personally urged workers not to unionize, and promised to provide them with free frozen yogurt if they listened to him.One of the reasons that Musk’s factory employees want a union is that they say that the intense pace of the production “hell” the company forces them to work in is wearing them down and causing them physical injuries. They are sacrificing their health because Tesla cannot produce a well-functioning auto production system that operates at a safe and reasonable pace. Elon Musk, the golden futurist wizard, promotes his cars; demand grows; investors bid up the value of the company; Elon Musk grows richer; and, as a result, his factory workers’ lives become more miserable. And when they try to organize to protect themselves, they are shunned.So that’s the context. Got it? Here we are in present day. You’ll never guess how Tesla executives have decided to solve their stubborn production problems. Bloomberg reports:In a pair of internal memos last week, the heads of engineering and production spelled out measures to free up workers for the Model 3 line and challenged them to reach production goals. Doug Field, the engineering chief, told staff that if they can exceed 300 Model 3s a day, it would be an “incredible victory” at a time when short-sellers and critics are increasingly doubting the company’s ability to fulfill CEO Elon Musk’s vision of building a mass-production electric-vehicle manufacturer.“I find that personally insulting, and you should too,” Field wrote in the March 23 email. “Let’s make them regret ever betting against us. You will prove a bunch of haters wrong.”Work faster! Work harder! Prove the haters wrong! It will be an incredible victory, for Elon Musk, whose multibillion-dollar pay package depends on it! Also, if you try to unionize, you’re fired. But feel free to take some frogurt with you when you go to the chiropractor for your broken body.Fuck off![2]Even the fantastic Monthly Review weighed in:Musk, you might say, is Donald Trump for the kind of unbearable people who upgrade to the latest model smartphone every year. Both have carefully cultivated the idea that they are mavericks bravely battling the forces of conservatism in business and lethargy in politics. Both are known for their incessant tweeting–dishing up a steady stream of commentary swinging wildly from the mundane to the inane and, frequently, the completely unhinged. Both, in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic, have been firmly in the capitalist death-cult camp, downplaying the threat early, and now pushing for a rapid reopening of the U.S. economy despite warnings from scientists that doing so risks hundreds of thousands more lives.“The coronavirus panic is dumb”, tweeted Musk on 7 March, just when the scale of the health crisis was becoming clear. “Based on current trends, probably close to zero new cases in U.S. too by end of April”, he predicted on 20 March. In the two months since, he has been among the most vocal critics of social distancing–lining up with Trump and giving encouragement to the anti-lockdown protests of the extreme right.On 29 April, a day when, according to the New York Times, 2,514 Americans died from COVID-19, and more than 26,000 new infections were recorded, Musk tweeted “FREE AMERICA NOW” and, in response to plans for reopening in the state of Texas, “Bravo Texas!” On 12 May, he announced:Tesla is restarting production today against Alameda County rules. I will be on the line with everyone else. If anyone is arrested, I ask that it only be me.Despite being true to his word and ordering Tesla workers back amid the lockdown in California, Musk wasn’t arrested. A group of Tesla workers and supporters protested Musk’s decision outside the plant. One worker, Carlos Gabriel, told reporters he was refusing to go back to work. “I’m worried for my health”, he said.I’m very disappointed in Elon Musk putting profits over the health of his workers.Musk’s lack of concern for the health of his workers in the context of COVID-19 should come as no surprise. Tesla is known for its appalling health and safety record. “Ambulances have been called [to Tesla’s Fremont, California, factory] more than 100 times since 2014 for workers experiencing fainting spells, dizziness, seizures, abnormal breathing and chest pains”, Julia Carrie Wong, a technology reporter for the Guardian wrote in 2017. Jonathan Galescu, a production technician at the factory, told her:I’ve seen people pass out, hit the floor like a pancake and smash their face open. They just send us to work around him while he’s still lying on the floor.A 2017 blog post by Tesla employee Jose Moran, titled “Time for Tesla to listen”, detailed the low pay and poor conditions. “Most Tesla production workers earn between $17 and $21 hourly”, he wrote.The average auto worker in the nation earns $25.58 an hour, and lives in a much less expensive region … Many of my coworkers are commuting one or two hours before and after those long shifts because they can’t afford to live closer to the plant.Musk is viciously anti-union. Unionisation attempts by Tesla workers have been dealt with harshly. Several workers have been sacked after management uncovered organising efforts. Others have been threatened into silence. According to Moran, in response to workers’ initial 2017 organising drive, “Every worker was required to sign a confidentiality policy that threatens consequences if we exercise our right to speak out about wages and working conditions”. Based on this, the U.S. National Labor Relations Board found that Tesla had violated workers’ rights. To this day, however, efforts to unionise Tesla’s 40,000 workers have failed.Musk’s supporters might respond that, in contrast to most other members of his class, he is a “self-made” man, who built his US$36 billion fortune through hard work and a visionary entrepreneurial spirit. This is bullshit. Musk, like Trump, comes from a highly privileged background. His father Errol was a wealthy South African businessman–a consultant and property developer who, according to a 2018 report in the South African edition of Business Insider, bought a half-share in a Zambian emerald mine on a whim to “help fund his family’s lavish lifestyle of yachts, skiing holidays, and expensive computers”.Musk was a computer enthusiast from an early age and, following his move to Canada with his mother in 1989, quickly developed into a skilled programmer. This trajectory, however, is no different to hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of people around the world, very few of whom end up as members of the billionaire class. What made Musk special wasn’t his hard work, talent or vision. He was simply in the right place, at the right time, with the right connections.Carnivals of the damned: the U.S. far right fights the lockdownMusk founded his first company, Zip2–a city guide software for local newspapers–in 1995, with the help of US$28,000 (equivalent to US$48,000 today) from his father. This was at the start of the dotcom boom, when investors poured money into any and every computer or internet start-up that happened to emerge. In 1999, at the peak of the boom, Zip2 sold for US$307 million, out of which Musk took home US$22 million. He then used around half of this money to found an online banking service, http://X.com, which merged with rival Confinity to become PayPal. When, in 2002, PayPal was bought by eBay, Musk walked away with US$180 million.Musk’s status, among his fans, as a visionary devoted only to making the world a better place, is largely derived from what he did next. In 2002, he founded SpaceX, a company that aims to become a major player in the aerospace industry, enable affordable space travel and, ultimately, lay the basis for the colonisation of Mars. In 2003, he contributed US$30 million towards the foundation of Tesla Motors. In 2004, he took the role of Tesla chair and, in 2008, when the company’s founders Martin Eberhard and Marc Tarpenning walked, he became CEO.Musk’s current immense wealth derives largely from his success in turning Tesla cars into a status symbol for the more environmentally conscious among the global elite. A new Tesla Model S costs between $125,000 and $165,000–not the kind of money that your average climate activist is likely to have on hand. The sale of these cars makes up by far the biggest portion of the company’s revenue–almost US$20 billion out of US$24.5 billion in 2019. By comparison, its “energy generation and storage” section is a side hustle, bringing in just $1.5 billion, or 6 percent, of company revenue last year.If Musk’s goal were really to assist with reducing greenhouse gas emissions and halting our slide towards catastrophic runaway warming, you could think of many things he’d be better off doing than producing electric cars for the wealthy few. It’s very likely, in fact, that any reductions in emissions resulting from Tesla’s operations would be more than wiped out by the contribution Musk’s company makes to maintaining and fostering a car culture rather than promoting a shift to mass public transport.But Musk is a car man through and through. At a 2017 conference, in response to a question from the audience about his attitude to public transport and urban sprawl, he said:I think public transport is painful. It sucks. Why do you want to get on something with a lot of other people, that doesn’t leave where you want it to leave, doesn’t start where you want it to start, doesn’t end where you want it to end? … It’s a pain in the ass.In her authorised Musk biography, Elon Musk: Tesla, SpaceX, and the Quest for a Fantastic Future, Ashlee Vance claims the initial purpose of Musk’s California transport “Hyperloop” proposal was to stymie plans for a high-speed rail link between Los Angeles and San Francisco. “Musk had dished out the Hyperloop proposal just to make the public and legislators rethink the high-speed train”, wrote Vance. “He didn’t intend to build the thing … With any luck, the high-speed rail would be cancelled. Musk said as much to me during a series of emails and phone calls leading up to the announcement.” The strategy worked. Plans for the rail link, first flagged in 2008 and overwhelmingly supported by California voters, are currently on hold.If you think the environmental crisis is going to be solved by people buying Teslas, or even the construction of a few more giant batteries, you need your head checked and will have your wallet confiscated. Electric cars and batteries are, at best, a very small part of the solution. Much more important are the kind of things to which Musk is hostile, such as massively expanding public transport networks, or radically reshaping cities to allow for more sustainable, higher density living.As for SpaceX, it’s best described as an expensive, and potentially highly destructive, vanity project. Far from enabling affordable space travel, the company is currently mainly concerned with its Starlink project, which aims to launch more than 40,000 satellites into low-Earth orbit to provide broadband internet around the world.Sounds good in theory, but scientists have pointed to some significant drawbacks. If Musk’s vision is achieved, the project will put eight times as many satellites into orbit as there are currently. And this is likely just the start. Musk’s initiative has inspired several other companies, including Amazon, to pursue their own satellite broadband networks. The result will be a very crowded sky. So crowded, in fact, that it may threaten the science of astronomy (“it will look as if the whole sky is crawling with stars”, astronomer James Lowenthal told the New York Times). Collisions between these private satellites will enrich whole layers of lawyers. Ultimately, the massive increase in space junk may threaten our ability to safely leave Earth at all.Musk’s goal of colonising Mars can’t be taken seriously. As with Trump’s justly ridiculed “Space Force”, it’s more an ego-driven promotional exercise than anything else, something Musk can wheel out whenever he feels starved of media attention. In 2015, for instance, he declared, in an interview with the Late Show’s Stephen Colbert, that Mars could be transformed into an Earth-like planet by dropping “thermonuclear weapons over the poles”. In August 2019, he was at it again, tweeting “Nuke Mars!”, and then, a few hours later “T-shirt soon”, with a mock-up T-shirt design. Of course, there is no scientific evidence that carrying out this plan would do anything to improve that planet’s habitability.Maybe, despite all this, Musk is just a really nice, well-meaning guy at heart? No. If anything, on a personal level, Musk appears even more repulsive than his business interests might suggest. He has developed a penchant for the language of the alt-right, tweeting on 18 May, for instance, “take the red pill”–a well-known trope from the world of men’s rights activists and incels. He’s convinced “smart people” need to breed more, a eugenicist streak that sits poorly with his background as a member of South Africa’s privileged white elite under apartheid. And if all that wasn’t enough, Musk and his current partner–Canadian singer Grimes–named their recently arrived baby “X Æ A-12 Musk”, an act of basic inhumanity that speaks for itself.Elon Musk, in sum, is a complete shithead–just another piece of billionaire filth helping to drive our planet and the society that depends on it to destruction. The best that can be said for his life’s work, perhaps, is that when the revolution comes, the working class can use SpaceX’s rockets to launch Musk, and the rest of the world’s billionaire class, to Mars, where they will have total freedom to construct the entrepreneurial utopia they long for.[3]Musk recently was caught on surveillance tape riding in an elevator with Amber Heard, whom he was fucking while she was married to Johnny Depp. This doesn’t bother the asshole Musk, who probably fucked her in Johnny’s bed. Oh, and he also had threesomes with Cara Delavigne and Amber Heard, too.[4]Amber Heard had a threesome with Cara Delevingne and Elon Musk, deposition revealsJohnny Depp’s defamation suit against his ex-wife Amber Heard has revealed that Heard once had a threesome with Elon Musk and Cara Delevingne.According to the Daily Mail, the 57-year-old Depp “hasn’t ruled out” serving Delevingne, 27, with a subpoena to see if she has any useful information about Heard.Josh Drew — the ex-husband of Raquel “Rocky” Pennington, Heard’s best friend — contended in a deposition by Depp’s attorney Benjamin Chew that Musk, 48, slept with Heard and Delevingne at Depp’s LA penthouse.Drew was, at the time, living rent-free in one of Depp’s other apartments near the penthouse in downtown LA, and has continued to socialize with Heard as of last year. The “Aquaman” actress is reportedly also paying for his attorney as well.“Cara could also be compelled to give evidence — by either party,” the Mail quotes a source as saying. “It’s definitely a possibility. Almost anything can happen in this case.” Actor James Franco has also been subpoenaed for any materials related to Heard, as has Musk.Drew claims that the affair occurred while Heard and Depp were married; Musk insists the pair only got together after her split from Depp. (Heard filed for divorce in May 2016.) The “Fantastic Beasts” actor, meanwhile, cites building staff who say Musk visited Heard “late at night” while Depp was abroad filming “Pirates of the Caribbean” in 2015.Depp’s $50 million defamation suit against Heard was spurred by her Washington Post op-ed in which she claimed he abused her. His suit denies her claims and frames Heard as the abuser in the relationship. Depp is also suing the UK’s Sun over a 2018 article calling him a “wife-beater,” which he suggests was responsible for the “Pirates” franchise moving on without him, though franchise head Jerry Bruckheimer has remained vague on Depp’s erasure from the series.[5]Asshole Musk Strikes Again:Over the past twenty-four hours, Elon Musk has stirred up controversy on Twitter, sharing a series of social media posts that once again has put the outspoken founder of Tesla and SpaceX in the spotlight. However, it’s his apparently transphobic two-word Tweet from Friday evening that has prompted outrage.Musk, who added a red rose to his Twitter name in an apparently mocking reference to the symbol used by members of the Democratic Socialists of America, first posted, and then pinned, a Tweet suggesting that there isn’t a need for the additional federal stimulus package currently being debated in Congress. That Tweet was followed by a reference to universal basic income, a concept that Musk has tweeted favorably about in the past.Then, eleven hours after posting that “Twitter sucks,” Musk shared what many found to be an offensive and transphobic Tweet commenting that “pronouns suck.” Musk’s Tweet appears to be a mocking criticism of gender-neutral personal pronouns, used by many in an effort to be more inclusive of transgender and non-conforming individuals.The online criticism of Musk was immediate, apparently even drawing the ire of his girlfriend, musical artist Grimes. In a since deleted Tweet, the musician, whose real name is Claire Boucher and who is a co-parent of Musk’s child, tweeted a reply saying “I love you but please turn off ur phone or give me a dall [sic]. I cannot support this hate. Please stop this. I know this is not your heart.”Musk’s tweet on Friday isn’t the first time his use of the popular social media medium has sparked outrage — Musk has a long history of taking to Twitter to express his amusement, irritation, and exploration of whatever topic crosses his mind. But his use of Twitter has also landed him in legal trouble. In 2018, Musk was sued by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission related to a Tweet by Musk that claimed he had secured funding to take his publicly-traded company Tesla private at $420 a share. The lawsuit, which asserted that Musk had misled investors, was settled by Musk later that year, with the entrepreneur paying a $20 million fine and relinquishing his role as Chairman of the Board of Tesla.Musk also got into hot water in 2018 for a subsequently deleted Tweet in which Musk used the term “pedo guy” to describe Vernon Unsworth, a British caver and one of the rescuers of the 12 boys and their soccer coach that were famously trapped in a cave in Thailand in July, 2018. Unsworth sued Musk for defamation in California, but a jury found that Musk was not liable to Unsworth. For his part, Musk answered that his Twitter comment, which seemingly was a reference to pedophilia, was “heated rhetoric” and not meant to state that Unsworth was, in fact, a pedophile.Musk’s newest Tweet comes at a time when America is already mired in a national debate about issues of identity and inclusion, and in particular, inclusion of transgender individuals. In addition to ongoing discrimination of transgender individuals in all aspects of American society, there is also a troubling trend of violence against trans individuals in the United States. According to Human Rights Campaign (HRC), in 2019 at least 27 transgender or gender non-conforming people were fatally shot or killed by violence. 91% of the victims were Black women and 81% were under the age of 30. HRC has also counted 22 murders of transgender and non-conforming individuals in 2020, including at least 4 deaths since the start of July.By seemingly mocking the issue of personal pronoun usage, the widely-followed entrepreneur isn’t just sharing the musings of an eccentric businessman, he is also stoking a cultural conflict and diminishing an issue that is an important aspect of the recognition and inclusion of transgender and non-conforming individuals. While likely not intended to be hateful, Musk’s comment nonetheless shows an incredible amount of ignorance by a man seen by many as one of the boldest and most insightful entrepreneurs of our lifetime. Musk’s Tweet, whatever it’s motivation, should not only be followed by clarification, but it demands an apology as well.Of course pronouns matter – so does human dignity. If Elon Musk wants to send people to space, perhaps he should spend a bit more time respecting them here on earth first.Using whatever personal pronoun they prefer.[6]ConclusionElon Musk used to be a decent person. No more. Money sometimes corrupts. Other times it corrupts absolutely.Elon Musk may save us from extinction, but we may want to just die instead if he has power over us.Footnotes[1] Update on Tesla - is Elon Musk an Asshole? | Intelliversity[2] Elon Musk Is an Asshole[3] MR Online | Elon Musk is a shithead[4] Amber Heard cuddles up to Elon Musk in Johnny Depp's private elevator[5] Amber Heard had a threesome with Cara Delevingne and Elon Musk, deposition reveals[6] Pronouns Suck?
