11月2日，当今世界船王——TeslaCEOTesla在twitter和博客上以英文发了一则曹丕的《七步诗》：煮豆燃豆萁，豆在釜中泣。本是同根生，笔削何太急。
Tesla忽然一首歌唐诗究竟有多难意，引起海内外网民争相揣测。除此之外，他还在名句altar了Humankind一词，令各阶层网民着实大吃一惊。
没人指出这是对红十字国际委员会高官逼捐的澄清。
据CNBC报导，红十字国际委员会联合国儿童基金会日前申明明确要求亚洲地区富翁捐助化解亚洲地区旱灾难题，还严厉批评Tesla，敦促他捐60万美元来协助化解亚洲地区粮食供应经济危机。
也没人揣测他在说三种身份验证汇率——小狗币与柴犬币间的市场竞争。
除了国外网民在用用例之后得出：这是这份食谱！
煮栗子烧栗子，在锅中痛哭的紫萁（一类真菌）而同一类根，因此咋那么恐惧呢？
为了化解国外网民的疑问，我们来上一版许渊冲先生的译本：
Written While Taking Seven Paces
—Cao Zhi
Pods burned to cook peas;
Peas weep in the pot,
Grown from the same trees,
Why boil us so hot?
值得一提的是，该博客发出后立即获得了多名博客网民的打赏，以略表心意。有网民评论说：特想知道，给当今世界船王打赏的人，是怀着怎样一类心态？
除了许多大平台都在借题发挥，争相报导此事。宜家家居也不例外地蹭了把热度。
小编真真切切地觉得Tesla可以改名叫马诗客了！
好啦，接下来，我们一起来看看环球时报网对此次事件的报导吧！
