musk something up

To make a mess of something for egotistical and/or narcissistic reasons.

Peter Thiel: "So what can this thing do?"
Elon Musk replied "Watch this!" and gunned the accelerator of his uninsured McLaren F1 (priced at $ 1M) while changing lanes, causing the car to spin out and crash. Musk reacted with "Wow, Peter, that was really intense." Followed by "You know, I had read all these stories about people who made money and bought sports cars and crashed them. But I knew it would never happen to me, so I didn’t get any insurance."
Whether Peter replied with "Wow, you really musked that car up" or just sighed is left to ones imagination. All we know is, it really takes a narcissist to to musk something up that badly as a reaction to a poke at ones ego, all while being certain it couldn't happen to him.
If further is left as a matter of discussion whether God regrets musking up the job of protecting the planet and doing away with those terrible influences on humanity, as they both left the incident alive and uninjured, none the wiser.
