You gotta admit - the idea of amassing the free world supply of carbon nanotubes just so you can blow it up is a KNsys-grade idea.

We'll use Tosser to accelerate carbon and make our own nanotubes, dammit! I even know how to get all the carbon we'd need for free: adopt legions of christian children, convince them to act naughty, collect the coal from their stockings. Use said legions as minions.

We may be past Bond, but I can still turn it into Johnny English.

Just got off the phone with marketing, here are our two strongest slogan options:

    "The name's Dissociate...

    JAMES Dissociate."

or

    "It's Bond...

    MOLECULAR Bond."

I think maybe the second, the first one maybe makes it sound like our company is destructive or bad.

hey man Tesla sells flamethrowers

Yup, basically the same company. Watching that gud ol' Texasboi talk a lil' shit brought a tear to my smiling eye.

It's unironically called "Not a Flamethrower" and is a piss-poor flamethrower. Closer to a butane torch, really.

It feels really bad to churn out all this satirical content, only to be vastly, repeatedly outdone by Master Musk.

But I'm busy. Tomorrow I am releasing my self-driving car software update and Donald Trump's healthcare plan.
