Last night Elon Musk, the billionaire inventor and electric car innovator, was a guest on Joe Rogan’s podcast. They did the kind of things you’d expect people to do on Joe Rogan’s podcast: they talked about the cosmos, the rise of AI, samurai swords, and drugs. Musk also smoked some drugs, specifically marijuana, in what has been one of the longest and most public midlife crises that we’ve seen in quite some time. There was also a flamethrower involved?
Today it was revealed that two top executives have left Tesla, and its plummeting stock fell even lower. Meanwhile Musk somehow can’t stop accusing one of the cave divers who rescued those trapped children in Thailand of being a pedophile. This is all bad news if you work for one of Elon Musk’s companies or care about him as a person. It’s all perfect grist for the Twitter mill, though, especially if you’re a comedian who’s already predisposed to hate callow tech billionaires and their unnecessary and unrealistic attempts at solving society’s problems. What I’m saying is that when Musk is bad the tweets are good, and here are the best ones from today’s well-deserved social media dogpile.
You’ve gotta hand it to Elon Musk, who is somehow the most embarrassing CEO of 2018 in a year where one of his competitors used the N-word on a conference call about pizza
elon musk’s erratic behavior and unpredictable explosions are the result of a tragic tesla factory visit where he accidentally stepped on the assembly line and was made into one of his cars
I know we’re numb to all this now but Elon Musk smoking weed and talking about samurai swords on Joe Rogan’s podcast causing Tesla’s stock to crash is insanely funny
JOE ROGAN: alright elon man what’s the deal with fuckin space man i love it ELON: ok so actually a lotta people don’t know this but the only time i can cum is during an eclipse JOE ROGAN: hell yeah bro, that’s wicked. ELON: saturn makes me big and hard JOE ROGAN: epic dude, epic.
I feel bad for Elon Musk because he’s gonna be the first person to smoke weed, get paranoid, and say “is everybody talking about me??” and the answer is actually yes pic.twitter.com/M6O2mcY2At
