Honestly, some real talk, y'all: referring to Elon Musk as "Elmo" has got to stop. It isnt fair and it is dragging a good person's name through the mud.

Elmo clearly is a caring, curious, diligent, and thoughtful Muppet. It doesn't deserve to be compared to the manchild running Twitter.

@ross Additionally all these „cute nicknames“ make filtering and muting incredibly difficult.

@ross @mmasnick Good point! I started to use “Enlo Murks” a while ago (“Murks” meaning “a botched job” or “a mess” in my native language German 😆)

@ross I prefer "melon," as the closest object to his level of social media acumen.

@ross I always thought "Eloi" was a more appropriate moniker.

@ross I just assumed they were talking about Elmo Zumwalt.

@ross It seems appropriate to use "Elmo" for someone who took over and ruined a popular institution. kotaku.com/how-elmo-ruined-ses

@ross Has anyone tried manipulating Elon by shoving a hand up his ass?

@ross @mmasnick indeed. His One True Name is apartheid emerald Karen, and thus shall it ever be.

@ministerofimpediments @ross @mmasnick nope, he's never actually been to space, nor has he meaningfully contributed to anyone or anything else going to space. (Having lots of money and saying "wouldn't it be cool if you made rockets for me" doesn't count as a meaningful contribution, in my book)

@womble @ross @mmasnick …but…that’s the point. That’s what a Karen ‘is’. Do you think the ones asking for the manager in a random Starbucks know how anything there works?
Electric Karen would also technically fit.
