The incident in the sky played out like the plot of a cheesy 80s movie. Call it “Elon and Jeff’s Excellent Adventure” or “Dude, Where’s My Rocket?”

Whatever you call it, the dispute took place at the entrance to the hottest party spot in the universe, Mount Olympus, the fabled gathering place of gods.

Like the feel-good nerd-buddy films of yesteryear, a couple of misfits were desperately trying to gain access to the club. Their goal? To gain respect from the cool kids inside.

Only this time, instead of Southern California stoners, the buddies this time were Earth-born space-faring billionaires. They were peers as those rarest of mortals who own their own rocket ships, rivals for the same reason.

These two found common purpose in their insecurity. Despite being insanely wealthy rulers of the human world, they were still mortals. Only by gaining entrance to the swankiest club anywhere could they be described as they felt they should: as gods.

The plan did not start off well.

As the two approached the club’s entrance, they were blocked. Kali (the multi-armed god nicknamed “She Who is Death” from Hinduism) stretched one of her limbs across the entrance.
