Miyamoto quotes about this 4koma: "I was going to complain because it ruined Mario's image, but...I was foolishly made to laugh before I could." -Shigeru Miyamoto, Nintendo Game Producer and "Yoshida Sensha's original Mario and Link are a little unusual. They have a different flavor from our licensed characters, but I'm actually a fan myself. There are many jokes in Sensha's humor that those of us involved in game development can relate to, and I'm always curious to see what would happen if he actually made a game. It would be a waste to keep him as just a manga artist." -Miyamoto

Screenshot from the BBC. It reads: "The milestones Musk must achieve over the next decade include: -Delivering 20 million Tesla vehicles and one million robots. -Getting 10 million subscriptions to Tesla's Full Self-Driving feature Bringing one million self-driving Robotaxi vehicles into commercial operation. -Earning up to $400bn in core profit. -Eventually lifting Tesla's overall market value to $8.5tn, currently $1.4tn. He won't receive a salary under the agreed deal. But meeting all the above milestones would see him awarded a stock grant of more than 400 million additional Tesla shares - worth around $1tn if the firm's market value is raised high enough."
