I turned on location services on Twitter just so Elon knew where I was at all times. I'm working on a bot that will upload all of my search queries and every bedroom conversation from my Alexa, then share it with him directly (since Twitter STILL lacks this feature)

Not that he cares, of course, but if it helps his bottom line, I figured "why not?"

He and Google (who are Good) will notice me any day now!

You fool! You've revealed your secret base in Chesapeake Bay! I'm sending my cigarette extinguishing no fun drones, which now include a prerecorded lecture on the health effects of Coke, as per regulations, before they explode and kill you.

Never mind, I got reassign for special energetics and processing duty and I'm no longer running SWAT.

I don't know what that means because we aren't allowed to ask but I'm sure it's not being used as a living CPU and battery.
