Elon Musk Buys Twitter to Secure World Domination, Calls It an “Insane Power Trip”

In what experts are calling the boldest and possibly most eyebrow-raising move since Ancient Rome decided to use cats to deliver mail, Elon Musk has added social media mogul to his eclectic collection of titles by purchasing Twitter at the bargain price of one billion electric cars. Musk, the man described by acquaintances as “that kid who went too deep imagining himself in a sci-fi novel,” now holds the reigns to the digital amphitheater of our age.

Veteran media critic and self-proclaimed “Internet Jedi,” Jeff Jarvis, has voiced concerns over Musk’s internet negotiations. “Somebody had to protect the freedoms of the internet,” noted Jarvis, while meticulously arranging his Funko Pop collection. “At this rate, Musk will be tweeting our deepest desires to the world before we’ve even realized we’re having them.”

Critics argue that this purchase is less about Musk’s Twitter fascination and more about his plot to turn cyberspace into a real-life episode of Black Mirror. “I just want to send a rocket to Mars full of tweets,” Musk hypothetically quipped in a fictional interview that never happened. “If I can amass enough online power, they might even let me colonize the moon on weekends.”

Jarvis warns that we may be on the edge of “a new era,” characterized by tech bros with too much time, money, and an uncanny ability to ignore real-world consequences. “These guys have more on their minds than AI,” Jarvis implied, choosing not to speculate on whether Musk might install himself as the first king of the virtual world.

Some quirky technocrats were seen cautiously looking up “freedom” in the dictionary before frantically coding in basements that looked suspiciously like their mom’s laundry room. But when reached for comment, Musk simply suggested, “Let’s all focus on the stars,” presumably referencing either celestial bodies or his next venture involving dosed-up celebrity endorsements.

As the world awaits Musk’s next move with the anticipation of a cat stalking a laser pointer, Jarvis has called upon the general public to rid the internet of “geeks.” Last seen browsing Reddit defiantly, they remain unfazed, maybe because everyone knows you can’t log off from the world’s most obsessive pastime, no matter how many electric cars and tweets it takes.
