In between his attempts to colonize Mars and convert our own planet to clean energy, Elon Musk has spent the last month driving liberals into a state of inconsolable apoplexy. Musk, who almost surely initiated a hostile takeover of Twitter after the social media giant suspended satire site the Babylon Bee for calling a transgender woman Man of the Year, has tweeted his way through his haters. The tweet that seemed to incense the most vociferous of Musk’s critics? A meme.
This meme is obviously, and in a way that is almost childishly so, correct. And one need only look at the issue that impelled the world’s richest man to shell out the rough equivalent to the gross domestic product of Paraguay to purchase Twitter.
