2. Musk Makes a Meme Out of Himself
While the stage was set for the Twitter purchase, it turned out the social media platform wasn’t transparent about the number of bot accounts it had. Musk decided to back out, but Twitter wasn’t happy about it. Musk, in rocketship-billionaire fashion, created his meme in response.
