For context, this article is from 2022 but it was just reposted by the Onion’s social media accounts tonight, and I’m sharing it here, because: The Elon / Trump interview on X started with an immediate tech disaster / Musk claims there was a DDOS attack on X — but The Verge is told there was not.

“Remove all the wires, or you are all fired. We’re transitioning to the AI Cloud. You’ll all be sleeping in your office cots this month.”

The grammar falling apart at the very end of the title is peak Onion writing.

Twitter demands Elon to explain why that many unused brain cells.
