An Indian-American blogger’s weird ‘slap experiment’ to increase his work productivity has gone viral on the internet. Maneesh Sethi, a computer programmer from San Francisco, has now grabbed much attention for his Craigslist ad for a slapper that he posted back in 2012. A tweet describing Sethi’s solution to excessive social media addiction was noticed by Tesla and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk, who reacted to the post. I'm the guy in this picture. Is @elonmusk giving me two emojis the highest I'll ever reach? Is this my icarus flying too close to the sun moment? Was that implied by the fire symbols elon posted? Time will tell.

Maneesh Sethi, reportedly hired a woman named Klara from Craigslist as a slapper for USD 8 (Rs 595 approximately) per hour to help cut down on his Facebook usage. Sethi apparently found out that he was spending close to 30 hours a week on Facebook and other social media sites that ate over 38 percent of his workweek, according to a report by Huffpost.
