Good luck pulling the punchline out of the wreckage of this mangled gag. Elon Musk’s appearance at CPAC has been dubbed ‘bizarre and strange’ by onlookers, and after wielding a chainsaw on stage, the tech billionaire only embarrassed himself further.

Elon Musk and his ‘legalise comedy’ routine… it’s not great
Indeed, he may be the world’s richest man. But there is a growing case in support of those who openly refer to him as the world’s unfunniest man. He might also be in the running for world’s worst joke, following the absolute mare he had on Friday.
Elon Musk seems to believe that, at some point, comedy was ‘illegal’. We all absolutely missed that memo. Anyway, he now thinks that his smash-and-grab on the American political system means that comedy has been ‘legalised’ again.
Queue that McBain meme from The Simpsons… because ‘that’s the joke’.
US-Ukraine relations under strain again
Anyway, if this is what counts as ‘comedy’ these days, perhaps we should try and get it criminalised. No-one’s laughing here anyway, and Elon even had to prompt the crowd to laugh when he finished with the babbling.
It caps another mad week in the MAGA world. Fresh from branding the Ukrainian President a ‘dictator’, Donald Trump is also reportedly trying to acquire the war-torn nation’s mineral resources in exchange for a security deal.
It is further understood that Volodymyr Zelenskyy has been told Ukraine could lose access to Musk’s Starlink satellite if they don’t play ball and acquiesce to the lop-sided deal – a move which would dramatically limit domestic communication systems.
The barbaric proposition comes as both Trump and Elon Musk continue to parrot lines straight from the Kremlin, arguing that Ukraine are the aggressors in the war – and, you know, not the country that actively invaded its neighbour in 2022.
