Welcome back to another Week in Memes meme roundup. The online world is abuzz with Elon Musk’s purchase of Twitter. The very people who’ve made Twitter the cesspit it is are very upset about the cesspit Twitter has suddenly come. We’ll dive into that soon enough. Let’s warm up with the memes from before the Great Twitter Apocalypse!
Biden’s Social Media interns tried to craft a #iwillvote graphic.
Of course memers were having none of it.
In the cringe department, a video surfaced of John Fetterman’s 2016 Senate run. In it he reenacts a Coke commercial from the 80s. Here, don’t take my word for it.
OK, on to the feature attraction! Twitter blew up with its usual OMG! DEMOCRACY IS OVER hysteria. But this time, it’s because Elon Musk floated the idea of Blue Checks paying… wait for it… eight dollars a month for that privilege. Turns out that the champions of the little guys, the crusaders of equity, the elite class just couldn’t deal with paying for what they’re entitled to and even worse, letting the dirty masses have a shot at it.
But the true highlight of was when Socialista Barbie and Tesla owner, Congressperson Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez threw her eight dollar tantrum and a priceless back-and-forth with Elon ensued.
Others suggested this was the beginning of a beautiful relationship.
