Marius du Preez has undertaken a mission to tweet for a thousand days to persuade Elon Musk to go to dinner with him. He admires Elon Musk for his work and wants to get his attention. He is ready to fly all the way to the USA to fulfill his dream of Elon Musk agrees. Marius du Preez also informed us that apart from posting on Twitter he is not making any other efforts to materialize his mission. It is already Day 115 when we had a chat with Marius to know more about him and his mission.

How Did The Idea of Lunch With Elon Musk Start?

I was watching a podcast interview with Elon Musk. I was surprised at his sincerity towards the space mission. He honestly works very hard to fulfill his dreams. His dedication to his projects is praiseworthy. An example of this is the Tesla car designed by Elon Musk which I own and recommend everyone who can afford should buy. He is way ahead of the businessmen of his time. He is putting real effort to make his vision come true. No other entrepreneur has made so much progress to get to Mars. I am certain that he will be the first person to put people there. His passion is visible when you watch him speak about his work.

What Is Your Inspiration Behind This Idea?

My idea is to keep posting questions on Twitter every day to get his attention. Sooner or later he should stumble upon my tweets. It will be great to get a mention from him or maybe a reply one day. He should know that people like me really appreciate the work he is trying to do. I am willing to reserve a part of my time every day to appeal to him to have lunch with me.

How Is It Going So Far?

I know that Elon Musk is a very busy man. A lot of people are trying to get his attention and his time is limited. I cannot expect that he should reply to every post about him. But I am sure that I should get a response or some kind of engagement by Day 699. It may come even sooner or not at all also. It has just been a little over 100 days so far. So I am just starting this mission.
