Elon Musk evokes Blofeld (and Dr. Evil) on Twitter

Elon Musk photo on Twitter on April 30.

Elon Musk, the electric-car and rocket magnate, is having a little fun on Twitter. The photo for his Twitter feed features a photo that evokes Ernst Stavro Blofeld from the early James Bond movies — or Dr. Evil from the Austin Powers films, depending your preference. No telling how long it has been there.

In the photo, Musk (or perhaps a double, who knows?) is holding a toy white cat. He also is crooking his pinkie finger like Dr. Evil.

Musk has an affinity for Bond. The billionaire was identified in 2013 as the successful bidder for Wet Nellie, the submarine car from The Spy Who Loved Me.

Meanwhile, this is Musk’s most recent Twitter posting teasing some new venture:

Major new Tesla product line — not a car — will be unveiled at our Hawthorne Design Studio on Thurs 8pm, April 30

Today has SPECTRE segment

NBC’s Today show had a segment on SPECTRE, the 24th James Bond film. Normally, we’d embed it, but NBC News’s embed codes apparently don’t work with this blog’s software. But if you CLICK HERE you’ll see a story on Today’s website, including the 3:12 video.

There are brief quotes from star Daniel Craig. The segment doesn’t say a whole lot that fans who’ve followed the production closely don’t already know. (That didn’t stop Today will billing it as an “exclusive.”) Meanwhile, the spoiler adverse probably shouldn’t click on the link.

UPDATE (5:25 p.m.): Found a YouTube version that could be embedded.
