Elon Musk’s Twitter account has produced a wide range of viral moments—from dry jokes and unexpected replies to random trivia and self-mocking memes. Whether he’s commenting on serious topics or just playing around with strange ideas, his posts often get attention fast. This list brings together some of the funniest and most talked-about tweets he’s shared, showing how he uses humor, sarcasm, and occasional absurdity to keep people watching.
1. “I put the art in fart”
Only Elon could turn a fart joke into a comment on creativity. This tweet is both crude and clever, using simple humor to highlight his unusual style.
2. “Who controls the memes, controls the Universe”
In a world where internet culture shapes opinions and markets, Musk takes memes seriously. This tweet shows he understands how far a viral image can reach.
3. “The color orange is named after the fruit”
Dropping a random piece of trivia like a philosopher-turned-comedian, Musk reminds followers that not everything has to be profound—sometimes, it’s just about a strange but true fact wrapped in an oddly satisfying tweet.
4. “Laws are on one side, poets on the other”
This cryptic tweet feels like something pulled from a midnight philosophy session. Whether it’s a comment on society or just abstract musing, Musk positions himself somewhere between logic and lyricism.
5. Flamethrowers for “zombie apocalypse”
“When the zombie apocalypse happens, you’ll be glad you bought a flamethrower. Works against hordes of the undead or your money back!”
Musk turned heads when he launched The Boring Company by selling actual flamethrowers—and promoting them like doomsday essentials. He kept the bit going on Twitter, suggesting they’d be a wise investment in case of a full-on undead invasion. It was part sales pitch, part sci-fi gag, all wrapped in Elon-style chaos.
6. Musk denies involvement in the creation of a zombie apocalypse
“The rumor that I’m secretly creating a zombie apocalypse to generate demand for flamethrowers is completely false”
After fueling wild speculation with flamethrower sales, Musk leaned into the absurdity with a tongue-in-cheek denial. It was classic Elon—poking fun at conspiracy theories while keeping the entertainment going for his massive Twitter audience.
7. “Comedy is now legal on Twitter”
After taking over Twitter, Musk made a pointed joke about free speech and humor under his leadership. It was both a subtle jab and a self-aware nod to how unpredictable the platform might become under his reign.
8. April Fools’ joke close to home
“There are many chapters of bankruptcy and, as critics so rightly pointed out, Tesla has them all, including Chapter 14 and a half (the worst one). Elon was found passed out against a Tesla Model 3, surrounded by ‘Teslaquilla’ bottles, the tracks of dried tears still visible on his cheeks.”
“This is not a forward-looking statement, because, obviously, what’s the point?”
“Happy New Month!”
Musk’s infamous April Fools’ joke about Tesla going bankrupt was hilariously self-deprecating—especially considering the company’s rocky financial past. Complete with fictional tears and “Teslaquilla,” the post blurred the line between parody and too-real reality.
9. “Apparently, there is this thing called ‘Dad jokes’ and I make them”
Known for his dry wit and cringeworthy puns, Musk took to Twitter to crowdsource “Dad jokes”—proving he doesn’t take himself too seriously and is perfectly comfortable embarrassing his kids with corny humor.
10. Musk posts a meme about himself
“They said I couldn’t buy Twitter. Then they wouldn’t disclose bot info. Now they want to force me to buy Twitter in court. Now they have to disclose bot info in court.”
This meme shows Musk’s signature move: blending sarcasm with legal drama. Posted during the back-and-forth over the Twitter acquisition, it turns the chaos into comedy. Musk plays the long game, mocking the twists and turns of his own billion-dollar deal.
11. “Technically, alcohol is a solution”
Classic Elon—science nerd meets internet humor. Here, he plays with the double meaning of “solution,” mixing chemistry with a hint of wordplay that’s both clever and chuckle-worthy.
12. “The Earth is not flat, it’s a hollow globe & Donkey King lives there!”
Taking a shot at flat-earthers and adding a fictional monarch to the mix, this tweet shows Musk’s love of absurd humor. His version of Earth? A hollow globe ruled by… Donkey King.
13. “Next I’m buying Coca-Cola to put the cocaine back in”
After shaking the internet with the Twitter deal, Musk kept the momentum going by joking about buying Coca-Cola—just to restore its original formula. It’s over-the-top, but totally on-brand.
14. “A ceiling is simply a floor from below”
The great thing about Elon Musk’s Twitter account is his commitment to replying to many tweets directed at him. Sometimes this results in him offering to help the people in Flint with their water problems, other times he offers some totally bizarre insight into seeing the world from another perspective.
15. “Gigafactory in units of hamster”
Instead of using square footage, Elon decided to explain the Gigafactory’s size in the most unexpected way: 50 billion hamsters. Strange, yes—but oddly effective.
16. “It’s either traffic forever or tunnels.”
Elon Musk replies: “💯”
When Elon agrees with Elon, he makes it official with a 💯 emoji. It’s the digital equivalent of nodding at yourself in the mirror—and apparently, he does it often.
17. “Don’t want to blow your mind, but I’m pretty weird. It’s time the world knew.”
After being called out for weird behavior, Elon doesn’t deny it—he doubles down. A self-aware mic drop from the king of tech eccentricity.
18. “It’s much easier to do the CGI that way.”
In response to a question about nighttime rocket landings, Elon casually trolls conspiracy theorists with a CGI joke. Classic dry sarcasm.
19. Musk posts a philosophical meme
“I’m going to gradually replace every part of this boat with an identical new part.”
“So it remains the Ship of Theseus, right?”
“It remains the Ship of Theseus, right?”
Labeling it “Esoteric meme of the day,” Musk dives into ancient philosophical territory with a modern meme twist. The Ship of Theseus paradox asks whether something that has had all its components replaced remains fundamentally the same. It’s a smart—and subtly hilarious—nod to identity, change, and maybe even corporate restructuring.
20. Musk mocks passive likers with a meme
In this tweet, Musk shares a meme using classical statues to call out people who like tweets but never retweet them. Labeling himself as the only one hitting the retweet button while others just tap the like icon, the image humorously criticizes passive social media behavior. It’s a simple post, but one that plays into the dynamics of Twitter engagement—and Elon’s habit of pushing people to act, not just observe.
