When I read the headline I assumed that glass house was a technical term for some financial bullshit but no. He is just building a house with a lot of glass in it. Using company funds to build a private house is almost vanilla when it comes to musk.

This is the best summary I could come up with:
Tesla is facing scrutiny over its mysterious "Project 42" that was believed internally to involve building a glass house for Elon Musk, according to a recent report from The Wall Street Journal.
The publication said, citing people familiar with the issue, that federal prosecutors are investigating whether Tesla used its own funds for Musk's personal use, and is looking into how much the company has spent on the initiative, as well as its purpose.
The US Attorney's Office for the Southern District of New York issued subpoenas to multiple current and ex-Tesla employees, some of which have been asked to appear in court in September, Bloomberg reported on Wednesday.
The project appeared to be for a "dramatic glass-walled building" and concept plans showed differing designs and features, but included residential elements like bedrooms, according to the report.
At the time, the internal inquiry into the order had targeted Omead Afshar, an executive leading Tesla's Texas factory, Bloomberg reported last year.
On Wednesday, the publication reported that federal prosecutors were seeking information related to internal communications with Afshar, who was said to be involved in purchasing the construction materials.

40The glass onion?
38I thought Edward Norton was just meant to be a Musk-like Billionaire narcissist, but I didn't realize Musk was actually trying to get to that level.
9DONG!
The house, probably

Probably a reference to the "Answer to the Ultimate Question of Life, the Universe, and Everything".
19I would believe it but this is Elon and its absolutely a 420 reference. Somewhere there is a blueprint that says 42.0 because it's the first draft.

I hope not, don’t need that fuckwit associated with the Guide in any way in my head. He is a most unhoopy frood.

I wonder what project 42 really is? A submarine made out of model 3 parts /s
17Doubt they would even be able to make a proper boat what with all the panel gaps they're known for.
7I think it is drummed up crap to make a publicity, but what do I know (or care, I shouldn't have engaged even).
2It’s probably a live/work space experiment born from all the times Elon slept under his desk. He wants offices with dorms so people don’t need to go home and have lives.
1isn't this kinda like China, I thought conservatives were opposed to that /s

This made me think of that crazy movie, Movie 43. Some of the skits are pretty funny, but I have no idea how they got so many A listers to be in this movie. https://youtu.be/eUgEpKnkC7w?si=G2PeSGxa3OXXuOgc

Maybe he wants one of those glass cells that Magneto sits in... With no metal.
2We laugh at the obvious hilarity, and Musk can suck my ass, but I just don't understand what the actual crime is. Companies provide "employees" housing all the time. What business does the government have in saying what the details of that housing has to be?
