On President Donald Trump's inauguration as the 47th President of the United States of America, many people attended, especially the big social media platform CEOs—Elon Musk included.

X's (formerly Twitter) CEO, Elon Musk, is the talk of the town during President Trump's inauguration, and this tweet encapsulates how he reacted toward people who criticized his appearance during the inauguration.

Elon Musk's supporters also replied to his tweet, clapping back his critics.

"Humor is the fascist way to defeat these people!" - an X user said

Elon, who is always chronically online in his app, replied to the tweet:

"They can’t stand being mocked." - he replied

Other users came in defense of Elon Musk's clapback, citing that Elon Musk made every American know a little bit of history.

"I’m just glad Americans will be googling these jokes and learning some history. H****** sis an easy one but I doubt many non-Brits know of H***." - a fan added

Some users also noted that what Elon Musk did is just the same as any Monty Phyton skit.

Fans also tried to do witty puns, but they're having a hard time doing it correctly.

"Elon wants to do the reicht thing but he Kant. I don’t know what Emmanuel Kant has to do with this, I need to work on my pun game." - one user noted

What did Elon Musk do?

Well, it's all over the news, but what Elon Musk did during President Donald Trump's inauguration clearly made everybody polarized. Some did not like what he did, while some defended him on what he did. But as an adult, Elon Musk can fend for himself. So maybe the clapback tweets are a way of defending himself against his critics?


Whatever Elon Musk did or what he will do in the coming days, it's up to him to make things right in the world that he is part of.
