Fans of La Quan Trung's Three Kingdoms Expression of Meaning are probably no stranger to the poem "Seven Bo Thi" by Cao Shi - Cao Cao's famous intelligent son.
The poem was composed in the context that Cao Shi was suspected by his brother Cao Phi of intending to compete for the throne, forcing him to write a poem in 7 steps. If not, Cao Shi will be executed.
Elon Musk - CEO of Tesla Corporation - is probably also a person who likes to learn about China's tumultuous Three Kingdoms period when posting "Seven Bo Thi" on his Twitter page mysteriously. idea. However, the richest billionaire in the world seems to have forgotten to add the author's name.
The content of the poem more than 1,800 years old Elon Musk posted as follows:
Chrysanthemum of course beans,
Parked at the central government.
The homozygous birth chart,
Farewell to Ha Thai level?
Translated:
Cook beans and burn bean sprouts,
Beans in the pot cry.
Born from one root,
Why burn each other?

The poem borrows the image of using bean branches to cook beans in a pot, alluding to the fact that the brothers in the same family slaughter each other, which Cao Shi finished in just 7 steps. After hearing this, Cao Phi was touched and spared Cao Shi's death.
Many netizens were confused when Elon Musk posted "That Bo Thi" on his personal Twitter page. The billionaire who owns a fortune of more than 300 billion USD does not seem to be entangled in a life-or-death struggle.
Recently, Elon Musk was called by the Director of the United Nations World Food Program - David Beasley - when he said that only 2% of this billionaire's total wealth was enough to solve global hunger. According to Mr. David Beasley, rich people like Elon Musk or Jeff Bezos - founder of Amazon - should reduce a bit of their fortune to help the world fight hunger.
In response, Elon Musk said he would sell Tesla shares and contribute $6 billion if the World Food Program specifically states how that money will solve global hunger.
Some netizens believe that Elon Musk is comparing his fight with David Beasley to a "brother and sister".
There are also those who think that the US billionaire is implying that Dogecoin (a cryptocurrency) may increase in price in the future. The Chinese word for "bean" is pronounced as "dou", which is quite similar to the pronunciation of "doge" in English. However, the logic in this conjecture of netizens seems unclear.
Elon Musk has repeatedly expressed optimism towards Dogecoin on Twitter. Last week, Musk joked that he could open a university and charge tuition in crypto.
In a broader sense, Elon Musk may also be expressing his frustration with human struggles in general.
"The Seven Poems" is a very famous poem in China that even children can memorize. However, Chinese literature is rarely cited by Western celebrities. The fact that Elon Musk posted Cao Cao's son's poetry on Twitter made many Chinese netizens interested.
