It's close to my personal belief system.
My set is Global Universal Cosnsciousness, we are all a part of the same, experiencing all facets through a co-created "coexistence"
Not quite the matrix model where we would be akin the the NPC characters in Elder Scrolls.

When he pondered on building an electric car that could out accelerate nearly everything AND drive itself people called [censored] on that, too.
He's just trolling for free publicity. You cannot prove or disprove these kind of statement.
No such thing as bad publicity. It just drives more free publicity.

We are learning machines, aren't we?
A little humor:

The next time the universe cycles the laws will be different.
Remember, everything is virtually nothing.
We now return you to your regularly scheduled program.

When Musk presents this as a testable hypothesis, then I'll be impressed. Until then, he can stick to selling imaginary modes of transport.

I think Tesla is still in a simulation if their stock is 1000x earnings and there's not a clear vision if they'll be able to produce the Model 3 profitably...maybe Musk was just getting in touch with his "inner metaphor".

No, but if someone wishes to make this a serious hypothesis, it needs to be testable.

This is just what happens when you have too much time on your hands. Wealthy businesspeople and kooky introspection/ideology go like coal and fire.
There's a reason Scientology attracts so many wealthy people. When you have less tangible issues to deal with, you start wrangling with the intangible issues frequently.

Lots of thought experiments use a testable hypothesis, just something can't readily test right now. If he said he was a Pastafarian, at least it would have been worthy of a laugh.
