[Asia Economy Reporter Yoon Seul-gi] Elon Musk, CEO of Tesla, became the subject of ridicule among some netizens after photos of him enjoying a vacation in a swimsuit were revealed, but Musk responded with humor, saying he would "take off his shirt more often."

On the 19th (local time), foreign media including the New York Post reported that Musk was vacationing on a rented yacht on the Greek island of Mykonos and released related photos. In the photos, Musk is seen enjoying his vacation shirtless on the yacht.

According to the media, Musk spent time in the Aegean Sea, located between Greece and T?rkiye, with fashion designer Sarah Staudinger and her husband. The yacht Musk rented reportedly costs $20,000 (about 26 million KRW) per week.

After Musk's photos were made public, they became a hot topic on social networking services (SNS). Some netizens mocked him with comments such as "Being a billionaire doesn't mean you have everything," and "Musk revealed one battery pack in his body."

In response, Musk replied with humor. He said, "Haha, I will take off my shirt more often," and added, "Freedom to the chest!" On a tweet where he posted a photo of himself alongside his dog, he responded, "My calf is bigger."

Meanwhile, Musk is facing a trial related to his declaration to terminate the $57 trillion Twitter acquisition deal. The Delaware Court of Chancery, which handles corporate disputes in the U.S., accepted Twitter's request for a speedy trial on the 19th (local time) and announced that the trial will be held in October.

Earlier, Musk agreed to acquire Twitter for $44 billion (about 57.596 trillion KRW) in April but declared the termination of the contract, citing Twitter's failure to properly disclose information about fake accounts. Twitter then filed a lawsuit demanding Musk to proceed with the originally agreed terms.
