In addition, Pathole added a caption describing his impressions of the Tesla CEO and highlighting how &#8216;<strong><em>humble<\/em><\/strong>&#8216; and &#8216;<strong><em>down-to-earth<\/em><\/strong>&#8216; he is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-pathole-shared-a-photo-with-musk-on-monday\">Pathole shared a photo with Musk, on Monday<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Pathole tweeted in honour of the event, <strong><em>&#8220;It was so wonderful meeting you @elonmusk at the Gigafactory Texas. I&#8217;ve never met anyone so modest and real. You serve as an example to millions of people.&#8221;<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The friendship started in 2018 when Pathole, a Pune-based second-year engineering student, tweeted Elon Musk about problems with a Tesla car&#8217;s automatic window wipers. Musk quickly responded, promising to take care of the situation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Since then, the two have remained in touch, with Pathole gaining over 180k followers in large part due to their frequent correspondence.<br>Pathole most recently tweeted about being able to view footage of Mars&#8217; surface taken by Tesla&#8217;s Curiosity Rover. Elon Musk responded to Pathole&#8217;s tweet by saying, <strong><em>&#8220;We should bring life to Mars. Mars appears incredible.&#8221;<\/em><\/strong><br>Pathole&#8217;s tweet received over 26.7k retweets and 7.2 million views.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The two Twitter friends have even exchanged book recommendations and engaged in other conversations. On August 2, Pathole tweeted, <strong><em>&#8220;This basically states that every second we delay expanding into space, we lose at least one hundred trillion potential human lives that could have lived,&#8221;<\/em><\/strong> asking Elon if he had read Nick Bostrom&#8217;s paper &#8220;<strong><em>Astronomical Waste<\/em><\/strong>.&#8221;<br>That estimate seems high, but the point is valid, was Musk&#8217;s quick reply to his Indian Twitter friend.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to Pathole&#8217;s LinkedIn profile, <em>he works for Tata Consultancy Services as a software developer and is pursuing his master&#8217;s degree at the University of Texas at Dallas. Pathole describes himself as a &#8220;<strong>machine learner<\/strong>&#8221; who enjoys &#8220;<strong>nerding out about Space and rockets on Twitter<\/strong>&#8221; in his GitHub profile.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Also read:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/aviationa2z.com\/index.php\/2022\/08\/22\/passenger-dies-mid-flight-on-indigo-flight-to-guwahati-exclusive\/\">Passenger Dies Mid-Flight On IndiGo Flight To Guwahati | EXCLUSIVE<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Join our telegram group for latest Aviation Updates:-<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/t.me\/aviationa2z\">https:\/\/t.me\/aviationa2z<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Stay tuned&#8230;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-wp-embed is-provider-aviation-a-2-z wp-block-embed-aviation-a-2-z\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"wp-embedded-content\" data-secret=\"LXuJajFhfA\"><a href=\"https:\/\/aviationa2z.com\/index.php\/2024\/10\/13\/spacex-starship-launch-succesfully-in-fifth-test-flight\/\">SpaceX Starship Launch Succesfully in its Fifth Test Flight<\/a><\/blockquote><iframe class=\"wp-embedded-content\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts\" security=\"restricted\" style=\"position: absolute; clip: rect(1px, 1px, 1px, 1px);\" title=\"&#8220;SpaceX Starship Launch Succesfully in its Fifth Test Flight&#8221; &#8212; Aviation A2Z\" src=\"https:\/\/aviationa2z.com\/index.php\/2024\/10\/13\/spacex-starship-launch-succesfully-in-fifth-test-flight\/embed\/#?secret=lGCjwsYqqg#?secret=LXuJajFhfA\" data-secret=\"LXuJajFhfA\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" frameborder=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Elon Musk, the CEO of Tesla, reportedly got together with Pranay Pathole, a software developer employed by Tata Consultancy Services, who has been a friend for years from India.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":26264,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[7218,6761],"tags":[392,79,2030,393,2380,115,81,7250,471,4658,2382],"class_list":{"0":"post-26258","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-international-aviation-news","8":"category-news","9":"tag-airlines-news","10":"tag-aviation","11":"tag-aviation-a2z-news","12":"tag-aviation-news","13":"tag-elon-musk","14":"tag-india","15":"tag-latest-aviation-news","16":"tag-patole","17":"tag-spacex","18":"tag-tcs","19":"tag-tesla"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/aviationa2z.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/26258","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/aviationa2z.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/aviationa2z.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/aviationa2z.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/aviationa2z.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=26258"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/aviationa2z.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/26258\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":71386,"href":"https:\/\/aviationa2z.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/26258\/revisions\/71386"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/aviationa2z.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/26264"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/aviationa2z.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=26258"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/aviationa2z.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=26258"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/aviationa2z.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=26258"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
