So social media has broken even Elon Musk. I’m forced to ask: U OK hun? | Marina Hyde
negativeWorld Affairs
Elon Musk, the self-proclaimed "primo edgelord" of the internet, found himself in the awkward position of apologizing for tweets (not "X posts," as the article cheekily insists) after a public spat with Donald Trump. The irony? The man who owns X (formerly Twitter) got tangled in his own platform’s drama, proving even billionaires aren’t immune to social media’s chaos. The piece pokes fun at Musk’s uncharacteristic backtracking, framing it as a cringe-worthy moment for someone who usually thrives on controversy.
Editor’s Note: This isn’t just about Musk or Trump—it’s a reminder that social media’s toxicity spares no one, not even the people who run it. The story highlights how platforms designed for engagement often end up embarrassing their most powerful users, turning even the biggest egos into cautionary tales. It’s a wry commentary on the absurdity of online discourse and the inevitability of getting burned by the very tools we (or in this case, Musk) think we control.

Editor’s Note: Nishimoto's story is a heartwarming reminder that social media isn't just for the young—it can be a space for joy, self-expression, and connection at any age. Her viral fame also highlights how digital platforms can celebrate unconventional personalities, making her legacy both inspiring and culturally significant. Even in her late 90s, she brought smiles to thousands, showing that life (and the internet) is what you make of it.
