Elon Musk loves to make jokes on Twitter, but I’m starting to wonder whether he’s ever made an original joke in his life. Because anytime you see a joke or a meme from the billionaire owner of the social media platform, it’s almost always stolen from his fans without credit.

Many people believed wild conspiracy theories when Musk purchased Twitter in October for $44Billion. Many people claimed that Musk wanted to help the Republicans win the 2022 midterm election. Other people claimed that he purchased it to delete embarrassing photos of him over the years. But after observing Musk’s ownership of the site for over three months, I think we can definitively say it’s none of those things.

Musk simply loves laughing at everyone’s jokes and wants to be the one who makes them. If you’ll recall, Musk previously tried to buy humor site The Onion, but that deal fell through. And Musk’s appearance on SNL shows all he really wants in life is to get a laugh. Musk should be shown the way to retweet.

For example, Musk stole at least four jokes on Saturday, and while it’s not really a big deal, it’s weird and almost anti-Social behavior when you own a socialSite for media. The Twitter platform has two retweet options, a native retweet, where another person’s entire tweet is shared in your timeline, and a quote tweet, where a user can add their own commentary above the original tweet. But Musk doesn’t seem to know or care about these features.

Is Musk actually stealing what kind of content? As an example from Saturday, someone tweeted a joke at Musk that included a photo of a crying man with the words, “When you order a book called ‘how to scam people’ and it’s still not here after 4 months.” The user tweeted it at Musk in the afternoon and Musk tweeted his own version just 9 minutes later, with very minor tweaks to the wording of the joke.

“Ordered ‘How to Scam’ book months ago but still not arrived. Starting to think it could be … but no I’m sure it’s coming soon,” Musk tweeted without giving the original poster any credit. Musk’s version has over 15 million views, while the person he stole the joke from has just 177,000 views.

Another image was tweeted by Musk’s Dogecoin account on Saturday. It’s a screenshot from the Pixar movie Amazing ThingsJoking about the gendered nouns of different languages. Musk was notified about it and took the credit three minutes after. Musk’s tweet has over 5 million views, while the …read more
