    In other news, Elon Musk was rushed to the hospital today because of ‘a foreign object being lodged in his rectum’. A reliable source mentioned that the billionaire slipped and fell on an unfortunately placed basket of potatoes.

    An attending physician anonymously commented that the object proved difficult to remove as ‘the patient was extremely uptight’.

    Further information will be shared as it becomes available.

      how much time does a foreign object has to spend in your rectum to cease being foreign and became a permanent resident?

    I don’t want them to be the arbiters of truth, but they do need to fix their algorithms to not blow up every single bullshit piece of right-wing hysteria.

    There is a fundamentally political aspect to how social media algorithms promote posts. They need to be designed to be impartial and promote thorough examination of facts instead of “controversy”.

    Careful with your satire, folks. He’s got money, and people with money tend to be pretty quick on the “defamation lawsuit” trigger.

    Edit: I’m not saying don’t. Please do. But be careful about what you say, and where you post it; and probably stay as anonymous as you can when/if you do.

    Weird, I could’ve sworn this exact same joke about Musk when he bought twitter and did the same.
