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.
