Elon Musk says it's a 'good sign' that the founder of his first acquisition as Twitter owner is a 'notorious' trashposter

At times, he has also attempted to wade into the realm of trashposting or shitposting. That's the trollish use of absurd posts, sometimes to provoke debate or satirize, and other times just for a laugh.to journalists' enquiries is a relevant example of Musk's affinity for online trolling.

And it looks like his love of good posts has weighed into Twitter's recent purchase of Laskie, a tech recruitment company. "Only fitting that Twitter's first acquisition in the Elon era is a company run by a notorious shitposter," Austen Allred, a tech founder, tweeted Tuesday night in reference to Laskie's founder, Chris Bakke. Bakke has over 147,000 followers on Twitter and wouldn't have reached that without his so-called shitposts, which often see over a million views.

Unlike Musk's memes, they're original jokes which use absurd examples – often mockingly or just latching onto topical discussions with humor.
