After surviving an attempted stabbing at a regional airport, Elon Musk abruptly condemns violence and expresses confusion over why anyone might resent the world’s billionaire class.
Yes. That is the difference between satire, and joking about lies. This headline made me think Elon Musk nearly got stabbed in real life. I immediately checked the IsElonDeadYet community to see if they were joking about it, then searched for his name in recent news. It’s not like someone trying would be met with “No! Him? Why?!”
It doesn’t even have to be worse than reality. During round one of The Idiot, I proposed something like ‘Actual US President trapped in negative zone apologizes for actions of evil doppelganger.’
It sounds like you’re asking for more sensational than… reality? 😬

Satire and jokes that are lies. Cur non ambo?
