Simulation theory inspired by Hitchhiker's Guide
Isaacson's minor theory is that Musk read Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy too often, absorbing Douglas Adams' idea that discovering the universe's meaning would replace it with a more complex one (and that this may have already happened), and that the book's humor helped pull Musk out of his darkest periods.
