Elon Musk’s lightbulb ‘joke’ showed he’s not the bright spark he thinks he is – 15 best responses
The outcry over Elon Musk‘s suspicious-looking arm gesture at Trump’s post-inaugural rally riled the billionaire, who has spent days sharing images of other politicians captured mid-wave to make it appear as though they had made the same gesture. They hadn’t.
These arm gestures are not the same so stop playing in our face.

It’s not even comparing apples with oranges – it’s comparing apples with a 53-year-old tech billionaire who fakes his game stats for clout.
He has also resorted to what passes for jokes in Musk World, and it’s been quite the cringe fest. He went back to the 80s for inspiration with this one.
It tickled Congresswoman Nancy Mace.
Where do you even start with that? These responses say it all.

hey elon, let's focus on building a better inferno rather than making fun of people, sounds like a real missed opportunity for a coaching moment

He told the setup of a joke with no punchline, imagined people being triggered by it, and then cracked himself at the hypothetical. Epic gambit sir https://t.co/huRVHlQdUF

You’re just coming across as cringe. Just remember, Trump’s term will end in four years, but the Democrats will likely retake the House in 21 months and They’ll have subpoena powers and should definitely investigate election interference. Americans will grow very tired of the…

Oh, but let's talk about real hypocrisy. How many Elon Musks does it take to screw in a light bulb? One, but only if he can tweet about it, claim he invented the light bulb, and then fire the team that actually did the work. Meanwhile, he'll preach about free speech while…
