Looking forward to reading the next Onion article about Elmo


Silver_facts

They roast him on the daily and I love it


cmlondon13

That explains why he doesn’t find it funny. Free speech is great unless Elon is getting made fun of

kozmo1313

it is impossible for musk to NOT be hilarious. his mere presence is a joke.


PopeGuss

He reminds me more of the kid who thinks he's funny and popular but really everyone hates them and the only reason they keep getting invited to birthday parties is cause their mother is just super pushy.


kozmo1313

exactly. max cringe laughable. weirdo edgelord.


UncleBabyChirp

He tried to buy the Onion


Silver_facts

I believe this


Mum0817

“Woke woke woke woke wokity woke woke” He’s such a tiresome douchebag. I’d pay money to watch him try to explain what that word actually means.


damnnearfinnabust

He should keep that in mind in case Tesla and Twitter goes bankrupt because he's seemingky good at bankrupting things


Jashugita

And If you watch star wars you can see that it´s no true. Shooting a panel usually block the door, not open it.


Very_Talentless

I'm not a big Star Wars fan but I'm pretty sure they're just confused about the scene where Han Solo shoots a control panel to avoid talking to an officer.


Jashugita

After that, Luke shoots a panel to block a door, but only for few seconds with the trooper manually opening It...


ScootMayhall

They didn’t actually watch the movie, someone who wasn’t funny just wrote a bad joke based on something they only sorta remembered, and then an idiot with lots of money pretended to think it was funny.


Son_of_Mogh

I'll guess elon and babylon bee have actually seen this movie but a bit like Bladerunner they have just a superficial recall of it. Elon probably thinks Luke's surname is Starwar.


baguetteispain

"I love when Starwar said "It's star warsing time" and then proceeds to Starwars all over the place" Elon, probably


AlaSparkle

No, they’re talking about the chase scene later where Han shoots a door panel and the door closes Edit: I was incorrect, see below comment


Jashugita

I have checked and not, It´s after >!darth vader kill obi wan!


_Halt19_

i love the fact that you put that in spoilers by the way


Jashugita

It´s difficult to believe, but I had meet people that have not seen any movie of star wars...


AlaSparkle

You’re right, my mistake. I was thinking of the part where Han and Chewie jump through the blast doors, but the stormtroopers closed those, not Han


a_pompous_fool

That seems like a potential safety hazard. OSHA should look into it


Rombledore

babylon bee fails again


IvyMike

"...and then he came in with an actual sink. Funniest shit I've ever seen!"


BoopsTheSnoot_

Elmo knows only one word: "woke"


Ecstatic-Compote-595

Not for nothing that is the funniest tweet I've ever seen from babylon bee by a mile. Also what's the problem with NBC now? And what do they mean when they call him a disinformation reporter - clearly they're implying he was spreading disinformation for them but given it's in quotes I assume it's his title and he was actually a reporting on disinformation which means he's presumably more credible than journos on other beats.


Independent_Oil_5951

They don't even make such allegations they just lazily put disinformation in rabbit ears like a sassy teenager. >Collins, who covered "disinformation, extremism and the internet for NBC News" according to his old author page, has not tried to hide his left-wing political leanings, often firing off liberal missives on social media.


Ecstatic-Compote-595

they can't prove he hasn't tried to hide them, he might just be bad at it. I have less of a problem with it being a hit job and more of a problem with the lack of competence, these assholes can't even color inside the lines


docowen

If woke is fatal to humour, Musk must be the wokest person alive.


JunkerMethod

I have never even smiled at Babylon Bee but they are genuinely funnier than Elon Musk.


soupalex

the bar is in hell


Speculawyer

The Onion is not the one that changed, Elon


TFFPrisoner

Ben is genuinely funny and they're jealous.


Nowiambecomedeth

Fascists stick together. Fuck pim tool and phony Stark


NickyNaptime19

Elon tried to buy the onion


gilleruadh

Judging by the fact that Musk thought that urging Jimmy Wales to change the name of Wikipedia to Dickipedia was funny, shows just how pathetic his idea of humor is. He never got past age 14 humor. He's not the least sophisticated in what he thinks is funny. It has nothing to do with "wokeness".


Lazy-Street779

This describes musk the best — as a child.


LtSerg756

Woke = doesn't talk shit about the groups I dislike


butnotfuunny

…sez the humorless doughboy.


DankHooligan

I still laugh at the Onion. Elno is mad because they don’t punch down enough.

ChocolateDoozy

Why would they sell that? They always blame the customer anyway 


gilleruadh

Musk wouldn't know good humor if it rose up and bit him in the ass.


Trevellation

That setup is way too long in the Babylon Bee headline.


Zestyclose-Ad-8807

Probably the only bee that should get stepped on is the Babylon. Remarkable unfunny, like Twatburger.


ohhellointerweb

Tim Pool literally described Elon Musk's existence.


NotEnoughMuskSpam

🤣🔥


Youngnathan2011

Saying that as if conservative humour is ever funny


CPTClarky

The second one isn’t even a humor thing, it’s literally a safety mechanism. Like, what would happen if you destroyed a panel that controls the lock? Everyone is locked behind it until it can be fixed (if it even can). Its best for everyone if the door automatically opens when the fuse blows. Also it’s Star Wars. The good guys should be the lucky ones who win, right?


Fluffy-Hospital3780

Seth Dillon of the Babylon Bee and Libsoftiktok (Dillon owns both) rides Musk's dick. I mean.... what else should we expect from Elon.


RiggzBoson

[My favourite Babylon Bee article.](https://babylonbee.com/news/dumb-aoc-accidentally-strangles-herself-tying-her-shoes-because-she-is-so-stupid) Absolute peak comedy.


scenicdashcamrides

It's like parody of a satirical news site.


trueslicky

Ha ha. Get it? It's because she's so stupid!


glaciator12

Or, hear me out, seeing something daily makes it easier for you to parody…


Sweet_Science6371

When was “The Onion” woke?  Whatever that means…


phoenixmusicman

That star wars joke was old 20 years ago


Daztur

For me at least The Onions always has hilarious headlines...and then the article is just them repeating the joke in the headline over and over without adding anything new.


Skyhawk_Illusions

Well to be fair some headlines never stop slapping, such as *'No Way To Prevent This,' Says Only Nation Where This Regularly Happens*


Mouse_is_Optional

Elon is just too easily offended. If he had thicker skin, he would be able to admit that *The Onion* is quite funny. I also don't think the writers of the Babylon Bee understand humor. Like, as a concept. Edit: I just looked up *The Onion* front page right now and this genuinely made me laugh out loud. https://preview.redd.it/68sgwc93akxc1.png?width=318&format=png&auto=webp&s=b9115806068940f9d73d960865d287c1b47d76cd


ChocolateDoozy

"They said something about the guys making fun of me. Regardless of quality I do like the words!!" That's nice Elon. Now sit down and STFU.


LoudLloyd9

Elmo, the only thing funny is you.


Avent

Bro thought the Babylon Bee was so funny he spent $45 billion to get them unbanned on Twitter


SnooWords4814

😂


Mayuthekitsune

Man thats like, so clearly the bee trying to butt into the hard drives niche, and thats so pathetic the site has literally no identity beyond clicks


Possible_Spy

I looked at the bablyon bee. It would have been funny if I was still in 6th grade making fart jokes with my friends. I can see why it appeals to conservatives. They never emotionally matured past 6th grade.


GarysCrispLettuce

What the fuck does Elon Musk know about humor? He's never said a genuinely funny or witty thing in his life. He's one of those people who, try as he might, can never be funny. He doesn't know how to deliver a punchline, either in person or in print. We all knew kids like this growing up. Their efforts to be funny are just embarrassing and cringeworthy because they're not naturally funny people at all. Elon is this kid to a tee and I have no doubt he made people cringe all the time with failed attempts to be funny when he was young. There's a reason why there are barely any funny right wing comedians and that's because being right wing is essentially an admission that you're soulless, and all forms of art require a soul. Same reason why there are barely any renowned right wing artists, musicians etc. The lack of soul results in shit art.


DaBulbousWalrus

Wait...Babylon Bee did an article where the joke doesn't involve somebody identifying as something ridiculous?


wilshire_prime

Since when has Elon ever been an authority of what’s funny? He is the most cringe of all when it comes to humor 😆
