Sunday Rest: technoking.

Elon Musk's Twitter account features a one-word description: technoking.

Now, I have no more chance of understanding the engineering behind Elon Musk's inventions than I have of having a picnic on Mars. 

But still, what is technoking, exactly?

And can I, myself, technoke?

Sunday Rest: technoking. Techno- comes from the Greek tekhnē, which means skill. The word king was cyning in Old English and is, entertainingly, related to the Danish word konge.
