21 Hilarious Burns from the Week of October 2, 2023
Another one of Elon Musk’s awful decisions came to fruition this week. Twitter has officially removed automatically-generated headlines from links to other websites. Part of the rationale came from Musk’s determination to make his version of Twitter a self-sufficient platform and limit traffic from being redirected to other websites. Another reason Musk provided was to “improve the aesthetics” of Twitter and present a more visually seamless experience. Anyone with an iota of critical thinking can see the decision as one that will have drastic implications on the upcoming election and contribute to an already unwieldy spread of misinformation.
The change, of course, was immediately exploited to demonstrate the dangers of the decision. Not only did people show how impractical it is functionally, they also showed how easy it is to make it look like Musk is a pedophile, indifferent to murder or even dead.
But the out-of-touch billionaire was hardly the only person who was burned thanks to this product change, and he’s definitely not the only person who got roasted this week. Other sick burns included those about someone who was super easy to draw, millennial Boomers, and the age old question, “Are you smarter than a medieval child?” The answer might surprise you.
