2025
I was in a fairly large open-plan office/department, with a very much preoccupied Elon and seemingly some of his team members, observing and becoming interested in what was going on generally, wishing to (/with a purpose of) offer(ing) possible advice...
Elon was bent over a desk (rather than being seated) with his head fairly close to the desktop, busy, with pen/pencil in hand, trying to solve (working on) some sort of problem...
As i was stood close to the left-hand-side of him, i said 'do you mind if i ask you a question???' (whilst being careful not to annoy him) - anyway, after receiving affirmation to such a request, i then said 'do you See things in 3D??? (rather than perhaps a '2D' way of seeing things/problems)' - to which i received a bit of a 'derisory'/'dismissive' type of look/response, before he went back to working on whatever was preoccupying him...
