Seems like Elon Musk is taking another step in life but it isn’t towards anything science or electric vehicle related, but instead it is a totally different field and that is comedy.
Sources from The Daily Beast discovered that the CEO of SpaceX and Tesla has hired many workers from the satire site The Onion to work on a ‘secret’ comedy project. Former editor in chief Cole Bolton and executive editor Ben Berkley left the site last year and since then have been working on Musk’s project.
Not much is known about the project, however, in a statement issued, Musk said, “It’s pretty obvious that comedy is the next frontier after electric vehicles, space exploration and brain-computer interface. Don’t know how anyone’s not seeing this.”

For years, Musk already had personal relationships with The Onion’s staffers. He used to share stories on social media, email writers and editors about jokes and at times invoke the site to troll critics.
“We can confirm that we have learned nothing from prevailing trends in media and are launching a brand-new comedy project,” Bolton and Berkley said in a statement to The Daily Beast.
‘The brand new comedy project’ is, however, a mystery and no details have been disclosed till now.
