Fact: On April 19, 2019, actor Rainn Wilson tweeted at Elon Musk and asked the tech leader if he could try to create a "quiet electric leaf blower."
We know this occurred. We saw it with our very own eyes. But four days later something strange happened.

On Tuesday, Elon Musk tweeted at his 26 million followers to announce that "Tesla is going to develop a quiet, electric leafblower." Sound familiar? It should! Musk used the exact same phrasing as the former star of The Officedid in his request, yet failed to credit Wilson for the idea. Hmmm...

Thanks to some helpful snitch tagging by Twitter user @AlvaroLuken, Wilson saw Musk's leaf blower tweet and decided to call out the Tesla CEO.
After Musk claimed the idea of a "quiet, electric leaf blower" has been "suggested by many, externally & internally," Wilson posted a screenshot of the tweets and responded, "C'mon Musk, give me some credit."

The interaction didn't stop there. This time, Musk directly replied to the man we know as Dwight K. Schrute and confirmed he had absolutely no intention of giving him credit for the leaf blower idea.
To quote, Musk, a 47-year-old man, said, "Nope 😜".

Many people seemed confused by the leaf blower tweet, and wondered why the man who has made a literal flame thrower and launched rockets into space would start focusing his energy on lawn maintenance.
Taking everything we know about Musk's online presence into consideration, it seems extremely likely that he's trolling Wilson. Musk is a huge fan of memes after all, and he's no stranger to Twitter jokes and other "nonsense." So perhaps Wilson is simply his latest target. Maybe Musk is a huge fan of The Office. Who knows!
It's been 0 days since Musk's last nonsense, but if Tesla does end up making a quiet, electric leaf blower, we all know Wilson is the realmastermind.
