This is a one-of-a-kind soon-to-be-true short story about how I got Elon Musk, billionaire entrepreneur and philanthropist, to buy a short story for $70,551 CAD. All the proceeds will go to 10 Canadian charities, to be determined by public Twitter poll(s) after the purchase has been made (follow @colemclade for updates).

I have always admired Elon, and I know he has made significant charitable donations in the past. But I would love to help make a difference across my native Canada by injecting charitable funds where they are so sorely needed.

This book will be written and printed to order, allowing me time to document the story of these events from first writing this listing to the eventual donations. I will even autograph the first page, and dedicate the book to the individual / organization or Elon's choosing.

Q: Why is it priced at $70,551?
A: Its the highest price Etsy would allow me to select.

Q: I'm not Elon Musk, how can I help?
A: You can relentlessly tweet this Etsy listing to @elonmusk.

Q: Why haven't you indicated the specific charitable organizations?
A: As Elon would no doubt agree, Twitter should decide. I will make further announcements about this after the book has been purchased, but all of the proceeds will be split between 10 Canadian charities.
