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.

He's super obsessed with Shazam. This is a terrible anology. None of the functions of Shazam correspond to what you would need

Is anyone seriously standing in front of the microwave? I always clean up the kitchen in the meantime. Well, not always. Usually I use the time to prepare even more food...

This would quickly escalate to drones that follow cars and shoot them.

Or just makes a list and reports once weekly and allows you to select what you do and don't want to see anymore.

This is a great idea. E-wallets should be able to give an alert when synced with gps when you're in a store!

This would be very good for working morale! And for United Airlines it can be slightly modified to the hand does not have a tipping finger but forms a fist for punching.

Easy fix: just fold over the end after you tear it! Then you can just feel the roll next time.

Apple iPhones automatically stop charging at 100% - apple released this info about how you can keep you phone plugged in overnight because the phone recognizes that the battery is full and stops charging

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..

Actually that would be dangerous in case of emergency. A better solution: cars that automatically signal if you turn your steering wheel more than 10 degrees

I like this idea, they did this when Sydney had the Olympics, Foxtel 8 had 24/7 The Simpsons the whole two weeks, it was heaven. I like the idea of one channel that was not Christmas Movies, but Movies where Christmas features in anyway, could be fun.
