What Are Your Favorite Elon Musk Jokes?

If it’s not already enough to be extremely wealthy, Musk also thinks that he’s funny. Musk named Tesla’s electric cars Model S, Model 3, Model X, and Model Y because the letters spell “S3XY”. But Musk’s sense of humor is largely limited lame 69 and 420 jokes that just reek of a “hacky” amateur comic. For example, after Musk completed his acquisition of Twitter in October 2022, he walked into Twitter’s San Francisco headquarters carrying a sink. He later tweeted, “Let that sink in!”

The cringy attempt to be funny was lamer than a cheap comedy bit by prop comic like Carrot Top. It was a lot of effort for little return. All he earned from walking around with a giant sink was fake forced laughter from worried employees. 

Make no mistake, Elon Musk is not funny. His attempts to be funny are so bad that the LA Times even did an article about Musk’s desperate attempts at humor. Making fun of him is so easy, it’s almost effortless. What are your favorite Elon Musk jokes. Join the conversation and share your favorite jokes about Elon Musk in the comments below.
