If you thought Elon Musk's inventions were smart, you haven't met his alternate Twitter personality - Bored Elon Musk. Self-described as a "futuristic hyper-parody account," Bored Elon's smart inventions are so clever it almost hurts our brains.

The sarcastic, witty, and often ingenious account filled with clever ideas has drawn in over 1 million followers since its creation in 2013. However, the true identity of the user behind it remains unknown. Bored Elon Musk may not be the CEO of any major corporation, but he sure has some damn good pointers on how to change the world, and the Tesla man himself may want to take a few notes of these invention ideas.

Check out some of Bored Elon Musk's best Tweets on life hacks below, and vote for the ones you wish you had thought of first.

    Locally, Google Maps does this for the hospitals. All our local hospitals have internal maps that work with all android phones so you don't get lost in the hospital. Even has the individual floors mapped out by GPS detected altitude and elevation differences..
