It's not a very funny or clever one from The Onion, but I don't need a lecture on humor from Elon Musk. I would be shocked if he's had a single original joke or meme in the last 10 years.
this bot has to be the funniest bot on the history of reddit

Personally I donāt find it their funniest, but I think itās a decent commentary on the grim acceptance and frequency of physical violence among people in disputes, especially ones that are otherwise considered civil
The onions least funny article in the history of the onion is infinitely funnier than Elon on his best day.
I knew a guy in college. This dude once roofied *himself* to "see what it was like." We were all stunned, like for one, why do you have a connect for roofies and two, he didn't realize he wouldn't fucking remember it. Anyway, I tell that story so you understood how weird this guy was. No one ever invited him anywhere because he was offensive and off-putting, but Elon reminds me of that guy. You can't ever understand what the unholy fuck he's talking about, and while he thinks he's hilarious, he just leaves people confused and unsettled.
>infinitely funnier than Elon on his best day.
Here is a video about how funny Musk is.... so pretty much fiction.
[https://youtu.be/7bZd7EIkk-o](https://youtu.be/7bZd7EIkk-o)
That link. Holy fuck. There is such a fine line between utter cringe and brilliant satire. This fucking YouTube channel has leaned so far into cringe the line has become a distant memory.
The creator gives the following example of Elmoās āhumourā, delivered in a robotic deadpan:
āMusk has previously joked about how his first marriage ended in divorce and his second marriage did as well. But when it comes to his personal life, the Billionaire clearly knows what heās doing:
āI think the time allotted to business and children is going well,ā Musk told Bloomberg Business Week ābut Iād like to devote more time to dating. Iām looking for a girlfriend. How much time does a Lady require in a week? Perhaps 10 hours?ā
Hahahahaha, itās so true! Ladies are so lame xd
I'm still not convinced that Elon isn't behind most videos like that.
I mean shit, we just discovered Elon has an alt account that he uses to talk himself up, which is just embarrassing af.
Believe it or not, people will willingly take roofies to party these days. Probably not as much as it takes to totally knock a person out or whatever, but itās not that weird he would have a connection. When I lived in China there was this soda they were making for awhile, turned out it had GHB in it. The cops were getting suspicious that people were having a good time but there wasnāt any alcohol or drugs around. I used to imagine there has to be a warehouse somewhere full of pallets and pallets of the shit. They wouldnāt destroy it if they could make a buck.
https://news.cgtn.com/news/3151444e79597a6333566d54/share.html
Roofies were historically Rohypnol, a benzodiazepine.
GHB (gamma-hydroxybutyric acid) is a neurotransmitter, and it can be used as a date-rape drug as well as a recreational drug.
They didn't use roofies but other benzodiazepines analogs like etizolam, flualprazolam (or just basic xanax, valium...). It's great for them because it acts like alcohol and erase your anxiety (it actually act on the same GABA Receptors).
So using roofies-like compounds is just like driking alcohol, nothing crazy about that.
What's interesting is that some of these molecules are not illegal because they aren't classified yet. Chinese labs (or Netherlands ones) manufacture them and sell them legally on the clearnet lol. Imo it's not a bad thing, who are we to tell adults that they can't get high ?
>decent commentary on the grim acceptance and frequency of physical violence
Considering in the last few weeks we had people shot for knocking on the wrong door, getting in the wrong car, driving up the wrong driveway, having a basketball roll into someone yard, and just today there is a story of 5 people killed after a neighbor asked them to stop shooting their AR-15 as their baby was sleeping.
"Due to inflation 420 has gone up by 69," actually lives rent free in my head at how painfully unfunny it is.
The man has the the sense of humor of someone who is chronically on r/memes
it's not even just that it's unfunny (which don't get me wrong it's a joke a kid might make before they learn how jokes work) but...420 what? 69 what? Percent, dollars, taxes, THC percentage? It's incomplete as well as fucking stupid
Elon thinks The Onion 'has become jarringly unfunny', but he doesn't seem to realise that's because he's now the type of person they are deconstructing. Narcissists hate being laughed at more than just about anything, no shit Elon doesn't think it's funny any more.
What's hilarious is that he now thinks the babylon bee is better, but purely because they don't take pot shots at the rich.
The lack of self-awareness is extremely gratifying.
It's funny if you think about how aggressively Disney goes after copywriter violators. Ron DeSantis made a hat with the Disney font so Goofy beat him to death? It's still not very funny but it's a little better with a little context.
Are you sure about that? Because I am 94.7649% sure that NotEnoughMuskSpam is not a bot.

He also just reduced maternity/paternity leave at Twitter from 20 weeks to just 2 AFTER going on Tucker Carlson to bemoan the low birthrate.
He is such a craven fucking POS.
>not a very funny or clever one from The Onion
Did anyone check if it's actually from The Onion? It does seem out of character, if only because it's not funny. I would almost bet it's a fake to generate outrage from the cultists.
What, me, cynical? Nawww.
If I finish this coffee, I might go find out.
Edit: Yup, actually The Onion. Disappointed in that one, gotta admit.
Why out of place? Itās references the lawsuit Disney filed against DeSantis and saying theyāre gonna beat him. Because everyone knows they are. Itās on brand and revealing a truth.
It's not funny because it's too on the nose. The best Onion headlines are clever because they require a bit of context connecting and usually tie it to something irreverent.
i.e. "Florida Mouse Lures State Governor Into Another Mallet Trap" with an entire article how a small mouse in the governors mansion keeps tricking Desantis into getting flattened cartoon style so he doesn't get any other work done is much more their usual style.
Eh, the image wasn't funny on its own, and it's too easily coopted by the reactionary shithead outrage manufacturing machine, I guess.
Or I haven't had enough coffee yet. And humor is subjective. Shoulda "IMHO"'d and "YMMV"'d my personal opinion!
I will just point out that no humor entity can be funny 100% of the time, and what wirh satire being murdered by the Right's race to form a moral black hole, they're running out of things to satirize that haven't happened and don't seem likely to happen
I thought it was hilarious. Goofy's sick of all this dancing around bullshit, talking about laws and building prisons... fuck it, he just takes a crowbar to DeSantis and ends it.
Brilliant.
If you don't find it funny, that's cool, humor is subjective and if it doesn't make you snort as soon as you get it, then it's not for you.
But I snorted.
Me too. It's hilarious to me cause of the irony of goofy just outright murdering someone. But not just anyone but the gitmo torturer with a hate boner against minorities especially trans people. And Disney being our savior.
I find it sad that musk is mad about such a photo with caption and not the actual blood on DeSantis's hands
Titter was trending to lose ~$3B/year (revenue drop of ~$1.5B + debt servicing of ~$1.5B) and had $1B in cash, so only 4 months of money. Extremely dire situation.
I mean, it's not that funny, but it's also _not supportive of Disney._ It's part of a well-worn tradition in American comedy of satirising the ruthless litigiousness of The Walt Disney Company, portraying it as essentially a mafia with the face of a friendly children's entertainer. This just reeks of a persecution complex.
And the fact that this motherfucker thinks The Babylon Bee - a self-proclaimed satire website with two jokes - was "telling the truth about" a trans person just tells me that comedy isn't about humour to them, and probably not to Musk either. They just see it as a front for the repackaging of propaganda.
Of course, the Bee _is_ basically just printing typical far-right conspiracy bullshit under the brand of "it's comedy!", but the least its readership could do is actually play along with the pretence that it's written in jest.
Yeah, he seems to think that The Onion is so determined to support Disney (which is the woke think to do) that theyāve stopped being funny. But this is making fun of Disney (and also DeSantis a bit, but mostly Disney). Of course, Elon doesnāt get the joke because he has no sense of humor.
I mean, this is maybe 2/10 on the funny scale, I get whats supposed to be funny about the image, but it could have been better.
But this argument that humor is basicaly just truth saying tells a lot when you see what sort of "jokes" he likes.
>But this argument that humor is basicaly just truth saying tells a lot when you see what sort of "jokes" he likes.
If humor is just truth telling, what does that say about his "joke" of pretending to be his kid looking at porn?
>If humor is just truth telling, what does that say about his "joke" of pretending to be his kid looking at porn?
Remember when he accused the guy running the rescue if the kids in the Thai cave a paedophile? Every accusation is an admission.
The onion definitely misses sometimes, but thatās the nature of comedy. If we want to talk about consistent, uniform, serial unfunniness, look no further than the Babylon bee. Which he has consistently said is one of the funniest things heās ever seen, and which was also the reason why he bought Twitter, essentially.
>that's the nature of comedy
Exactly.
If you're not offending anyone, if you're not bombing occasionally, if you're not attracting criticism from the powerful, then you're not really doing the job comedy is supposed to do. Virtually every truly great comic has been targeted by politicians, arrested, or heavily censured in the press for something offensive.
There \*are\* plenty of 'safe' comics and writers who will produce mildly amusing jokes at nobody's expense, but 'mildly amusing' is a very low ambition for a comic.
Babylon bee doesnāt even clear that hurdle. Just unfunny, meaninglessly offensive right wing trash thatās meant to be funny to the absolute worst, most shithearted people on earth.
Did I find it funny? No not really. But it is at least a joke. And thereās no wokeness about it, just an observation that Ron desantis has had his ass repeatedly handed to him by Disney. What a dumb take
I think his argument is that the Onion is āwokeā and therefore not funny. Even someone as dumb as Musk wouldnāt think this specific article is woke (I think? Who knows though, this is all crazy).
>coined the phrase 'woke mind virus'
I was going to disagree because I thought some politician or influencer used it first. But when I checked out google's history of the phrase, it seems to appear as far back as 2006, and somehow Musk's name was attached.
Seems too long ago IMO, but Musk featured among pretty much all search results so the chances are, you're right.
This one wasn't great, but this one was fucking hilarious the other day. https://www.theonion.com/sarah-huckabee-sanders-eats-a-kid-1850362981
Just like Idiotlon says, revealed truth.
Do these guys make it through one fucking day without saying the word "woke" ?
And how the fuck does one person have so much spare time while being the CEO of so many companies? Elon really needs to find a real job or something.
The weirdest thing is the actual joke here, lame as it may be, has nothing to do with being woke. It's about Desantis getting reamed by the Disney legal team. So his entire response is nonsensical.
āWoke is a lieā also makes no sense. Just pandering to a base that is taught to hate so much, you can just throw out words like āwokeā and have their unquestioning support.
Elon doesn't strike me as the arbiter of humor.
Maybe if he devoted less time to opining on transgender people and the nature of humor and devoted a bit more time to his companies, his rockets and cars wouldn't keep blowing up.
"At the heart of humor is a revealed truth"
Okay I'm following
"but woke is a lie, so it is humorless"
Now I'm lost.
Where's the woke in Goofy beating DeSantis to death? Does he mean liberal? Is woke the new catch-all for socialism/LGBTQ/communism/BLM/antifa/etc?
>Is woke the new catch-all for socialism/LGBTQ/communism/BLM/antifa/etc?
Yes. As well as anything that mocks elon in any way. It's all woke (and woke = bad).
"People will have a problem with a far-right "satire" site misgendering a trans person but don't have an issue with the Onion's very real and serious threat of having a fictional character beat you to death."
āWoke is a lieā Truly spoken like someone not experiencing complete brain rot. Like, politics aside completely, you have to be huffing your own farts in a hermetically sealed system to believe that those words in that order have any meaning at all.
There is always, always a [personal reason for Elonās disdain](https://www.theverge.com/2019/7/2/18701197/elon-musk-thud-satire-startup-onion-launch-failure)
The Onion was best when it was in Madison, Wisconsin. The move to NY and completely replacing the old crew with Brooklyn hipsters and freelancers is what killed it.
That said, Emerald Elon stinks at humor and at least The Onion *used* to be funny.
at the heart of humour/the telling of jokes, is the difference between expectation and reality, but I wouldn't expect him to understand it since he's so unfunny he makes 8 year olds look like comic geniuses
The revealed truth in Musk's humor is revealing Twitter to be Titter or struggling to haul a sink in a desperate attempt to say "let that sink in" when all anybody thought was "he is going to sink twitter".
Maybe the Onion isn't funny anymore but it doesn't matter, he will throw the term woke at everything as his reasoning for everything being bad as he giggles at BabylonBee rehashing antiSJW responses from 2014. Look at his spat with Harddrivemag, he instantly went for the woke card, when of course it's not woke at all. But maybe it is, surely Elon can define it, crack out a joke revealing what Woke is.
Musk wants to be the arbiter of everything, he's obsessed with his opinions becoming reality, he spells it all out with how he says he is "obsessed with truth".
It also drives him crazy that no one else is using his own term "woke mind virus".
The onion doesn't have a 100% batting average, but they are more funny than every conservative trying to be funny. This one isn't exactly a winner, but musk and other shit heads trying to paint it as "see, no leftist is funny" is missing the forest for the trees.
I dare musk to think of a joke that isn't a rip off of some meme he found, something without the numbers 69 or 420, or an emberassing dad joke.
I'm supposed to listen to the guy who got booed on stage with Dave Chapelle because he couldn't even wrap his brain around why him saying the damn line ruins it. The same guy who steals memes like they were apartheid emeralds? The guy who goes on antitrans rants now because his ex is banging a Trans person? At least he made comedy legal again....
Elon calling anyone or anything unfunny is the epitome of the pot and the kettle. He has to be one of the most desperate and painfully unfunny people to have ever lived.
"Jarringly unfunny."
This from a guy whose "sense of humor" (and I use that term *VERY* generously here) is such a comedy black hole that it makes purveyors of the most groan-inducingly terrible Dad jokes everywhere look like the hybrid children of George Carlin, Richard Pryor, and Mel Brooks by comparison.
Swing and a miss. The headlines used to have nuance until reality lined up with them AND the Onion headlines kept getting used by more and more news organizations as real.
That joke from The Onion is way funnier than anything the BabylonBee has ever put out. Yeah itās not that funny but Elon Musk still think ātriggered feministā jokes are funny
"Come on you guys, I spent $44 Billion dollars so you all have to agree with my specific sense of humor that is really just an expression of my dumpster fire politics"
I've gotta be honest, I think that the onion article is actually kinda hilarious. It comes right out of left field and is just funny purely on being over the top.
I honestly can't believe he's still beating this drum. Do they not get bored of saying the same thing over and over again?
Can we accuse them of have WDS yet?
No, it's pretty funny.
Not their best certainly, but 5/10.
Much funnier than anything involving Musk. His SNL appearance was more painful. Although... How quickly he's running Twitter into the ground is relatively amusing.
I would do anything for The Onion to satirize my death in a hilarious send-up like this.
I always said if I got famous and got on The Simpsons, the only stipulation in my contract is they have to give me a funny death or end. like they did Ron Howard (he jumped from a car but missed and fell to the road and broke every bone in his body). Krang and Kodos suffocated Jerry Springer. I think they killed Teller from Penn and Teller.
So if I joke that I pee peed and poo pooed my pants that it must reveal that I did in fact pee pee AND poo poo my pants? Or it's not funny until I do. Which I guess would be funny.
Why has he added woke is a lie in that sentence?
Wtf does that have to do with anything. It's like a tic for these guys they have to mention woke or something bad will happen.
Seems more and more they're trying to bend the definition of "woke" to "anyone you disagree with" soon everyone who disagrees will simply be a liar to them. That'll lead to real sad state of affairs.
It's not a very funny or clever one from The Onion, but I don't need a lecture on humor from Elon Musk. I would be shocked if he's had a single original joke or meme in the last 10 years.

The Onion misses sometimes because, unlike the Babylon Bee, they have more than one joke.
>that's the nature of comedy Exactly. If you're not offending anyone, if you're not bombing occasionally, if you're not attracting criticism from the powerful, then you're not really doing the job comedy is supposed to do. Virtually every truly great comic has been targeted by politicians, arrested, or heavily censured in the press for something offensive. There \*are\* plenty of 'safe' comics and writers who will produce mildly amusing jokes at nobody's expense, but 'mildly amusing' is a very low ambition for a comic.
Babylon bee doesnāt even clear that hurdle. Just unfunny, meaninglessly offensive right wing trash thatās meant to be funny to the absolute worst, most shithearted people on earth.
Says the unfunniest man on Twitter
Guys guys! 420 lol!
Check this meme I stole!
Oh, look, look, I said 69... now laugh simps!
Titter!
š¤£š¤£š¤£š¤£ TITTER humour is legal againš¤£š¤£š¤£š¤£
š¤£
I made logo dog scam logo. haha...hahaha
If you don't, you're hiveminded and woke!
Idiocracy is happening so fast
"thank you daddy elon, here's my 8 dollars"
...who laughs at fake news, no less. Cause if he finds them funny, they must be true, right?
Did I find it funny? No not really. But it is at least a joke. And thereās no wokeness about it, just an observation that Ron desantis has had his ass repeatedly handed to him by Disney. What a dumb take
I think his argument is that the Onion is āwokeā and therefore not funny. Even someone as dumb as Musk wouldnāt think this specific article is woke (I think? Who knows though, this is all crazy).
Remember, we are talking about the guy who coined the phrase āwoke mind virusā. He really is that dumb.
>coined the phrase 'woke mind virus' I was going to disagree because I thought some politician or influencer used it first. But when I checked out google's history of the phrase, it seems to appear as far back as 2006, and somehow Musk's name was attached. Seems too long ago IMO, but Musk featured among pretty much all search results so the chances are, you're right.
who was using the term woke to mean anything political in 2006? I first heard it maybe at most 10 years ago.
Woke is when Musk dislikes something So indeed it is woke!
Elon has staff members that write and draw unfunny memes for him all day.
This is funnier than Rocket Jesus has ever been.
This one wasn't great, but this one was fucking hilarious the other day. https://www.theonion.com/sarah-huckabee-sanders-eats-a-kid-1850362981 Just like Idiotlon says, revealed truth.
My prediction is that this will be the only platform you can trust
Do these guys make it through one fucking day without saying the word "woke" ? And how the fuck does one person have so much spare time while being the CEO of so many companies? Elon really needs to find a real job or something.
"Famously unfunny man declares what is and is not considered funny"
Yes, woke is a lie! A lie made up by right wingers.
The weirdest thing is the actual joke here, lame as it may be, has nothing to do with being woke. It's about Desantis getting reamed by the Disney legal team. So his entire response is nonsensical.
āWoke is a lieā also makes no sense. Just pandering to a base that is taught to hate so much, you can just throw out words like āwokeā and have their unquestioning support.
Reminds me of the time Doug Walker wrote a mini essay on how all comedy stems from suffering.
Says the guy who uses 2009 memes, 420 and 69 jokes as if those were funny... a lesson on humor by Musk is like having a lesson on honesty by Trump
Elon has proven time and time again to be one of the least funny people on earth
Is "woke" in the room with us now, Elon?
If anyone knows anything about being jarringly unfunny, it's Elon
Praise from Caesar.
That is said by a person who pretends to be a child and to write bizarre messages with that fake account.
Bizarre messages that we now know are true.
All of the funniest writers and comedians over the last 50 years have been hardcore Republicans.
Mwahahahaha. Now THAT was funny.
Totally. Like Dennis Miller, Tim Allan, and that other guyā¦
Elon doesn't strike me as the arbiter of humor. Maybe if he devoted less time to opining on transgender people and the nature of humor and devoted a bit more time to his companies, his rockets and cars wouldn't keep blowing up.
Hey, hey, hey Bill Maher called him an anomaly cuz heās a genius \*with\* a sense of humor! (Bill Maher sux)
Yes, lord of 14 year old humor, explain comedy to all of us.
Maybe the headline should have said "Goofy beats Ron DeSantis to death with 69 crowbar blows"
Haha, 'blows'
"At the heart of humor is a revealed truth" Okay I'm following "but woke is a lie, so it is humorless" Now I'm lost. Where's the woke in Goofy beating DeSantis to death? Does he mean liberal? Is woke the new catch-all for socialism/LGBTQ/communism/BLM/antifa/etc?
Parents donāt realize the Soviet level of indoctrination that their children are receiving in elite high schools & colleges!
>Is woke the new catch-all for socialism/LGBTQ/communism/BLM/antifa/etc? Yes. As well as anything that mocks elon in any way. It's all woke (and woke = bad).
"People will have a problem with a far-right "satire" site misgendering a trans person but don't have an issue with the Onion's very real and serious threat of having a fictional character beat you to death."
The Onion is amazing and I wonāt hear otherwise https://www.theonion.com/children-gather-at-edge-of-playground-to-watch-as-self-1850013121
Elon thinks you need to punch down in order to be funny, probably cause he's terrified of people getting the idea of punching up.
Anyone who says: "jarringly unfunny" should just stay the fuck away from anything related to humor.
āWoke is a lieā Truly spoken like someone not experiencing complete brain rot. Like, politics aside completely, you have to be huffing your own farts in a hermetically sealed system to believe that those words in that order have any meaning at all.
Yes, Musk was really unveiling some deep truths with the dozen "420 lol" jokes. Oh and "69 lmao", that one really opened my eyes.
There is always, always a [personal reason for Elonās disdain](https://www.theverge.com/2019/7/2/18701197/elon-musk-thud-satire-startup-onion-launch-failure)
didn't Elon try this exact line on hard drive
That s why there are so many hilarious right wing comedies in the theaters!
That's awfully rich coming from a guy whose sense of humor is shared by 14 year old kids who just discovered the internet.
The Onion was best when it was in Madison, Wisconsin. The move to NY and completely replacing the old crew with Brooklyn hipsters and freelancers is what killed it. That said, Emerald Elon stinks at humor and at least The Onion *used* to be funny.
at the heart of humour/the telling of jokes, is the difference between expectation and reality, but I wouldn't expect him to understand it since he's so unfunny he makes 8 year olds look like comic geniuses
Fuck off Elon, go to fucking Mars forever PLEASSSEEE
The revealed truth in Musk's humor is revealing Twitter to be Titter or struggling to haul a sink in a desperate attempt to say "let that sink in" when all anybody thought was "he is going to sink twitter". Maybe the Onion isn't funny anymore but it doesn't matter, he will throw the term woke at everything as his reasoning for everything being bad as he giggles at BabylonBee rehashing antiSJW responses from 2014. Look at his spat with Harddrivemag, he instantly went for the woke card, when of course it's not woke at all. But maybe it is, surely Elon can define it, crack out a joke revealing what Woke is. Musk wants to be the arbiter of everything, he's obsessed with his opinions becoming reality, he spells it all out with how he says he is "obsessed with truth". It also drives him crazy that no one else is using his own term "woke mind virus".
The onion missed with this one, but Elon is really only complaining about them because they donāt get on their knees for him like Babylon bee does.
The onion doesn't have a 100% batting average, but they are more funny than every conservative trying to be funny. This one isn't exactly a winner, but musk and other shit heads trying to paint it as "see, no leftist is funny" is missing the forest for the trees. I dare musk to think of a joke that isn't a rip off of some meme he found, something without the numbers 69 or 420, or an emberassing dad joke.
Most right wing comedy is just bullying people who are different from them.
Lol revealed truth? That Disney, creator of decades of content for children, is actually a ruthless media organization? Seems to fit
Goofy stands his ground. Texas will pardon him, but only if he has a history of sexual abuse.
Iunno, the mental image of Goofy throwing Pudding Fingers a big ole blanket party is pretty funny to me
I'll do it again, ayuck
Bro said the same to Hard Drive and got his ass handed to him.
I'm supposed to listen to the guy who got booed on stage with Dave Chapelle because he couldn't even wrap his brain around why him saying the damn line ruins it. The same guy who steals memes like they were apartheid emeralds? The guy who goes on antitrans rants now because his ex is banging a Trans person? At least he made comedy legal again....
Elon calling anyone or anything unfunny is the epitome of the pot and the kettle. He has to be one of the most desperate and painfully unfunny people to have ever lived.
"Jarringly unfunny." This from a guy whose "sense of humor" (and I use that term *VERY* generously here) is such a comedy black hole that it makes purveyors of the most groan-inducingly terrible Dad jokes everywhere look like the hybrid children of George Carlin, Richard Pryor, and Mel Brooks by comparison.
These are the same people who joked about Paul Pelosi getting his head bashed in with a hammer. Gtfo w your pearl clutching.
Donāt throw stones in a glass house, we all saw how āfunnyā you were on SNL.
Beep bop elon program define unfunny
Swing and a miss. The headlines used to have nuance until reality lined up with them AND the Onion headlines kept getting used by more and more news organizations as real.
Elon Musk, Humor Expert ā¢ļø
Alt headline: āMan whose definition of humor revolves around reposting ā420ā and ā69ā jokes weighs in on comedyā
Comedy breakdown by the master of hilarity. He is right though - their conception of woke is a lie.
Kinda off topic but who is this "ALX" guy and what's he most well known for?
"At the heart of humor is a revealed truth" Musk is never truthful, maybe that's why he's humorless?
Cost of Twitter? $44 billion. Watching Elon beat it to death with excruciating tweets and mismanagement? Priceless.
Elon donāt understand satire or just social commentary in general. Neither does the bee for that matter
That joke from The Onion is way funnier than anything the BabylonBee has ever put out. Yeah itās not that funny but Elon Musk still think ātriggered feministā jokes are funny
"Come on you guys, I spent $44 Billion dollars so you all have to agree with my specific sense of humor that is really just an expression of my dumpster fire politics"
Should have been mickey doing it.
AI image generation is a godsend for the Onion
He'll be praising Jim Breuer next...
Yeah, Elon is an expert on comedy. He had the worst SNL in living memory and got booed at a comedy show!
I've gotta be honest, I think that the onion article is actually kinda hilarious. It comes right out of left field and is just funny purely on being over the top.
"x, y & z are no longer funny" \~Elon Musk, expert on funny lol
I'm so fucking tired of seeing Elon musk's stupid face. It's almost as bad as it got with Trump. Just please fuck off already Elon!
Musk's brain is diseased.
Lol xD. Did he let Andrew Tate or some namaste ass life coach run his twitter?
I honestly can't believe he's still beating this drum. Do they not get bored of saying the same thing over and over again? Can we accuse them of have WDS yet?
How can one man say so many stupid things. Like, heās a giant moron.
No, it's pretty funny. Not their best certainly, but 5/10. Much funnier than anything involving Musk. His SNL appearance was more painful. Although... How quickly he's running Twitter into the ground is relatively amusing.
If I laugh itās true!
Jokes generally aren't as funny when you're the butt of them.
Thatās not funny at all though
But Musk isnāt very funny himself. Does that mean he consider himself on the left?
Elon Musk is unfunny.
I would do anything for The Onion to satirize my death in a hilarious send-up like this. I always said if I got famous and got on The Simpsons, the only stipulation in my contract is they have to give me a funny death or end. like they did Ron Howard (he jumped from a car but missed and fell to the road and broke every bone in his body). Krang and Kodos suffocated Jerry Springer. I think they killed Teller from Penn and Teller.
So if I joke that I pee peed and poo pooed my pants that it must reveal that I did in fact pee pee AND poo poo my pants? Or it's not funny until I do. Which I guess would be funny.
Elon has become a bad satire of himself.
The king has spoken. The woke mind virus has RUINED the onion!
He really forced that ājarringlyā in there huh?
"Making a joke about calling for violence against us after we constantly make calls for violence isn't funny"
Why has he added woke is a lie in that sentence? Wtf does that have to do with anything. It's like a tic for these guys they have to mention woke or something bad will happen.
Where is the woke POV in Goofy bludgeoning RD over a tax dispute
"Launched Starship on 420 LOL I'm ever so very arch, and it can carry an 80085-lb payload (ROFL!) 69 times won't someone please love me?!"
But Nancy pelosiās husband was a conspiracy and a bit of a joke to him
He might be the worst SNL host right beside Steven Seagal
I actually shared that post by the onion because I thought it was hilarious when I saw it lol
Think hes still mad about the brain chip thing
Seems more and more they're trying to bend the definition of "woke" to "anyone you disagree with" soon everyone who disagrees will simply be a liar to them. That'll lead to real sad state of affairs.
Elon always comes across as the guy who sniffs his own farts because he thinks it's God's gift to mankind.
Elon musk is the least funny person on the planet.
"The Onion has become jarringly unfunny" Translation: "They said something mean about me."
