Title: Crypto Clash
Fade in:
INT. A luxurious penthouse suite — Night
Elon Musk, Katy Perry, and Donald Trump are gathered in a plush living room, sitting in front of a large fireplace. They are surrounded by lavish furniture and decorations.
Elon Musk sits on a comfortable armchair, scrolling through his phone. Katy Perry sits on a sofa, sipping a glass of champagne, while Donald Trump paces back and forth in front of them.
Donald Trump: (shaking his head) I don’t understand why you’re so bullish on these cryptocurrencies, Elon. They’re nothing but a scam!
Elon Musk: (raising an eyebrow) That’s not true, Mr. Trump. Cryptocurrencies are the future of finance. They provide a decentralized way of transferring value and can’t be manipulated by governments or big corporations.
Katy Perry: (nodding in agreement) Yeah, and they’re also more secure than traditional banking systems. With crypto, you’re in control of your own money.
Donald Trump: (laughing) You two are living in a fantasy world. The only reason people invest in cryptocurrencies is that they want to make a quick buck. It’s all speculation and hype.
Elon Musk: (leaning forward) That’s not entirely true. Bitcoin, for example, has a finite supply. There will only ever be 21 million bitcoins in existence. That makes it a scarce asset, like gold.
Donald Trump: (sarcastically) Oh, so you’re saying it’s like digital gold? That’s ridiculous!
Katy Perry: (firmly) It’s not ridiculous, Mr. Trump. In fact, many companies are already accepting bitcoin as payment, and it’s only a matter of time before more follow suit.
Donald Trump: (scoffing) Well, I don’t trust it. It’s too volatile. One day it’s up, and the next day it’s down. It’s not a stable investment.
Elon Musk: (smirking) Mr. Trump, I hate to break it to you, but the stock market is just as volatile. Look at GameStop and AMC.
Donald Trump: (gritting his teeth) Don’t even get me started on those Reddit losers. They’re ruining the market!
Katy Perry: (calming tone) We’re not here to talk about the stock market, Mr. Trump. We’re here to talk about cryptocurrencies.
Donald Trump: (exasperated) Fine, let’s talk about it. But mark my words, it’s a bubble waiting to burst.
Elon Musk: (shaking his head) I disagree. Cryptocurrencies are here to stay, and they will revolutionize the way we do business and transfer value.
Katy Perry: (smiling) I’m with Elon on this one.
Donald Trump: (rolling his eyes) Of course, you are. You millennials and your tech obsession.
Elon Musk: (grinning) Hey, don’t knock it till you try it, Mr. Trump. Maybe you should invest in some bitcoin. It might do wonders for your net worth.
Donald Trump: (scoffing) I’ll stick to my real estate investments, thank you very much.
The three of them sit in silence for a moment, contemplating their different opinions on cryptocurrencies.
Fade out.
Prompt: Suddenly, Warren Buffett comes in and engages in the conversation
Fade in:
Warren Buffett walks into the room, joining Elon Musk, Katy Perry, and Donald Trump. He looks around at the luxurious penthouse suite before taking a seat.
Warren Buffett: Sorry I’m late, folks. What are we discussing?
Elon Musk: Cryptocurrencies.
Warren Buffett: (smiling) Ah, yes. The hot topic these days. What’s the debate?
Donald Trump: (pointing at Elon Musk) He thinks they’re the future of finance. I think they’re a scam.
Katy Perry: (interjecting) And I think they’re a more secure way of transferring value.
Warren Buffett: (nodding) Well, I have to agree with Donald on this one. Cryptocurrencies are not an investment in my book. They have no intrinsic value.
Elon Musk: (leaning forward) But what about the blockchain technology that underpins them? It has many use cases beyond just cryptocurrencies.
Warren Buffett: (shrugging) That may be true, but I still don’t see any sustainable competitive advantage in cryptocurrencies.
Katy Perry: (confused) What do you mean by that?
Warren Buffett: (explaining) A sustainable competitive advantage is what separates a good business from a great one. It’s what allows a company to earn above-average profits for a sustained period of time. Cryptocurrencies don’t have that. Anyone can create a new cryptocurrency, so there’s no barrier to entry. That means there will be an endless supply of cryptocurrencies, and they’ll all compete with each other, driving down prices and profits.
Donald Trump: (nodding) Exactly. It’s just a bubble waiting to burst.
Elon Musk: (disagreeing) I think you’re oversimplifying things, Warren. Cryptocurrencies may not have a competitive advantage in the traditional sense, but they do offer unique benefits, like decentralization and security.
Warren Buffett: (smiling) I’m not saying cryptocurrencies don’t have any value. They certainly have their use cases. But I wouldn’t invest in them personally. I prefer to invest in businesses with a sustainable competitive advantage, like Coca-Cola or American Express.
Katy Perry: (nodding) That makes sense.
Donald Trump: (sarcastically) Of course, it does. You’re the Oracle of Omaha.
Warren Buffett: (laughing) I don’t know about that, Donald. I just stick to what I know works.
The group continues to discuss the pros and cons of cryptocurrencies, each offering their own perspective.
Fade out.
Prompt: They discuss until the sun begins to set. They agree to go for dinner.
Fade in:
As the sun begins to set, the conversation gradually winds down. Despite their differences of opinion, Elon Musk, Katy Perry, Donald Trump, and Warren Buffett all seem to have enjoyed the lively debate.
Elon Musk: Well, that was quite the discussion.
Katy Perry: (smiling) Yeah, it was really interesting hearing all of your perspectives.
Donald Trump: (grinning) And I think we can all agree that we’re hungry.
Warren Buffett: (laughing) That’s true. Why don’t we continue this conversation over dinner?
Elon Musk: (nodding) Sounds like a great idea.
As they gather their belongings and prepare to leave the penthouse suite, the group seems to have put aside their differences and are now looking forward to an evening of good food and conversation.
Fade out.
Prompt: The four of them sit in a restaurant. However, the restaurant is haunted by a ghost of Nikola Tesla. Continue the screenplay.
Fade in:
Elon Musk, Katy Perry, Donald Trump, and Warren Buffett are now sitting in a cozy Italian restaurant. They’re seated around a circular table, and their conversation picks up right where they left off in the penthouse suite.
Katy Perry: (laughing) I can’t believe we’re still talking about cryptocurrencies. We could be talking about anything else in the world.
Donald Trump: (smirking) But this is much more interesting than anything else in the world.
Warren Buffett: (smiling) I have to agree with Donald on this one. Besides, it’s always good to learn about new things.
Suddenly, a loud crashing sound is heard from the kitchen, and the lights flicker. The restaurant falls silent as everyone looks around in confusion.
Elon Musk: (whispering) What was that?
Warren Buffett: (sarcastically) Maybe it’s the ghost of Nikola Tesla come to haunt us.
As soon as he says this, a translucent figure appears in front of the group. It’s Nikola Tesla’s ghost, looking just as he did when he was alive.
Nikola Tesla: (in a booming voice) What are you talking about, my dear friends?
The four of them stare in amazement at the ghostly figure before them.
Elon Musk: (recovering first) Mr. Tesla, it’s an honor to meet you.
Nikola Tesla: (smiling) The honor is mine. What brings you here, discussing cryptocurrencies like it’s the only thing that matters?
Donald Trump: (defensively) Hey, we were having a great conversation until you showed up.
Nikola Tesla: (chuckling) I’m sorry to interrupt. It’s just that there are so many more interesting things in the world than digital currencies.
Warren Buffett: (curious) Like what, Mr. Tesla?
Nikola Tesla: (pausing to think) Well, for starters, I was working on a way to provide free energy to the world.
Katy Perry: (amazed) Free energy?
Nikola Tesla: (nodding) Yes. I believe that everyone should have access to clean, affordable energy. It’s one of the most important things we can do for our planet.
Elon Musk: (interested) That’s something I’m also passionate about. In fact, I’m working on creating sustainable energy through my company, Tesla.
Nikola Tesla: (smiling) I’m aware of your work, Mr. Musk. It’s quite impressive.
The group continues to chat with Nikola Tesla’s ghost, discussing his work and ideas for the future. They’re all fascinated by his vision and enthusiasm for science and technology.
As they finish their meal, the ghostly figure begins to fade away.
Nikola Tesla: (fading away) It’s been a pleasure to talk to you all. Remember, there’s so much more to the world than just cryptocurrencies.
The group watches in silence as the ghost of Nikola Tesla disappears into the ether.
Donald Trump: (breaking the silence) Well, that was unexpected.
Warren Buffett: (nodding) Indeed it was. But it was also a once-in-a-lifetime experience.
Katy Perry: (smiling) And it reminds us to keep an open mind and to always pursue new ideas.
Elon Musk: (grinning) And maybe it’s a sign that we should focus on bigger things than just cryptocurrencies.
The group nods in agreement, feeling inspired and energized by their encounter with the ghost of one of history’s greatest inventors.
Fade out.
Prompt: Later everyone goes home. Elon Musk goes back to his hotel room when the ghost of Nikola Tesla reappears, because he forgot to discuss Musk’s usage of his last name for his company Tesla. Nikola Tesla is sad about it because in his lifetime his genius had always been taken advantage of.
Fade in:
Elon Musk returns to his hotel room, still thinking about his conversation with the ghost of Nikola Tesla. As he enters the room, he notices a strange mist beginning to form in the corner of the room. Suddenly, the mist takes on a familiar shape — it’s the ghost of Nikola Tesla.
Elon Musk: (surprised) Mr. Tesla! I didn’t expect to see you again so soon.
Nikola Tesla: (looking sad) I’m sorry to appear before you like this, Mr. Musk. But there’s something I forgot to discuss with you earlier.
Elon Musk: (concerned) What is it? Is everything alright?
Nikola Tesla: (shaking his head) It’s about your company, Tesla. I know you named it after me, but I never gave you permission to use my name.
Elon Musk: (defensive) But Mr. Tesla, I thought you would be proud that I named my company after you. You’re one of my greatest inspirations.
Nikola Tesla: (sighing) I appreciate the sentiment, but in my lifetime, my genius was often taken advantage of. I don’t want to see that happen again, even if it’s unintentional.
Elon Musk: (apologetic) I’m sorry, Mr. Tesla. I never meant to disrespect you or your legacy. Is there anything I can do to make it right?
Nikola Tesla: (thoughtful) Perhaps you could use your influence and resources to support research and development in the field of clean, affordable energy. That’s something I was passionate about in my own life, and it would be a fitting tribute to my legacy.
Elon Musk: (nodding) I understand. I promise to do everything in my power to support your vision, Mr. Tesla. And I’ll make sure that your name is always honored and respected.
Nikola Tesla: (smiling) Thank you, Mr. Musk. I appreciate your willingness to listen and to make things right.
The ghost of Nikola Tesla begins to fade away again, but this time with a sense of peace and contentment.
Elon Musk watches as the ghostly figure disappears into the ether once again, feeling grateful for the opportunity to make amends and to honor the legacy of one of history’s greatest inventors.
Fade out.
Prompt: On the next day, Elon Musk decides to rename his company to something else.
Fade in:
The next morning, Elon Musk wakes up with a newfound determination to honor the legacy of Nikola Tesla in a more respectful and meaningful way. He spends the day reflecting on their conversation and brainstorming ideas for how he can make a positive impact on the world of clean energy.
As evening approaches, he makes a decision — he will rename his company to something that reflects his commitment to sustainable energy and innovation, without using the name of Nikola Tesla.
Elon Musk: (to his team) I’ve been thinking about our conversation with Mr. Tesla, and I’ve realized that we need to do more to honor his legacy in a respectful and meaningful way. From now on, our company will be known as… (pauses for dramatic effect) Solera.
Team member: (confused) Solera? What does that mean?
Elon Musk: (smiling) Solera is a term used in the wine industry to describe the process of aging wine in barrels. It represents the passage of time, the importance of craftsmanship, and the creation of something valuable and unique. I believe it’s a fitting name for our company, as we work to create a sustainable future for all.
Team member: (nodding) I see. That’s a great idea, Mr. Musk. I’ll start working on the rebranding right away.
As the team begins to implement the changes, Elon Musk feels a sense of pride and satisfaction. He knows that this is just the beginning of his journey to make a positive impact on the world, but he feels more determined than ever to make it happen.
