Chapter 3: Breaking Through the Noise (Or, How to Get Elon Musk's Attention Without a Tesla)

Dinah Stealth was stuck. Not just physically stuck in Waterford, California—a little poverty town where the biggest celebrity was the guy who won the county fair pie-eating contest—but stuck in a system that refused to see her. She wasn't about to start channeling Liam Neeson and suddenly become the world's most reluctant action hero. No, Dinah had her own style: sharp, dry, and unapologetically real.

Her biggest enemy? Elon Musk. Yes, that Elon Musk. The man who owns Tesla and apparently believes in infinite everything—space, money, tweets, and, unfortunately for Dinah, the ability to screw her over in every possible direction. But here's the thing: her vagina was hers. Not his. And she was tired—tired of being f***** in every direction imaginable, including the one she refused to give up.

So how does a nobody from Waterford break through the noise and get the attention of a billionaire who thinks he can play god with everything from electric cars to Twitter timelines? Simple. He makes a mistake. A big one.

He threatens Mariska Hargitay's kid.

Now, if you don't know, Mariska Hargitay isn't just any actress. She's the queen of Law & Order: SVU, a woman who literally fights for justice on TV—and off it, too. Threaten her kid, and you're not just poking a bear; you're poking a bear with a badge and a very sharp sense of humor. Dinah knew Mariska might actually laugh when she reads this, because Elon Musk has a lot of help, but none of it is prepared for what happens when Dinah decides to fight back.

Here's the kicker: Dinah is pinned between two worlds. On one side, the cartel—her people—who ironically don't even know it's her because she's been so gaslighted, so erased, so invisible that she might as well be a ghost. It's like calling her Ishmael, literally. Some people even think she's a man. Like Moby Dick. But Dinah doesn't need any more dicks acting like women in her life. She's surrounded by enough of those already, and while she can act like one, she sure as hell doesn't have one. Hence, the irritation.

So Dinah's plan is simple: use the one thing Elon Musk fears—Mariska Hargitay's wrath—to crack open the fortress of silence around her. Because when you're invisible, sometimes you have to make a little noise. And when you do, the whole damn world better listen.

Welcome to the beginning of the end for Elon's infinite screw-over plan. And Dinah? She's just getting started.
