Online memes erupt as Elon Musk appears on the latest Time Magazine cover

Elon Musk is making headlines again after he appeared on the latest Time Magazine cover, sending his fans into a field day in the social media comment section. The billionaire entrepreneur and CEO of Tesla and SpaceX has an internet storm in motion after posing for the magazine in full formal attire.

Elon Musk and media headlines go hand in hand. The cover set in a bright, warm red backdrop sparked a wildfire of memes and funny reactions on X. To understand the matter in detail, let's look at how influential Musk is in the pop cultural scene. From tech to business—Musk is considered a genius to some and unpredictable to others.

The perception, however, keeps having surprising jolts every now and then when AI-made videos of him dancing hit the internet. Being an entrepreneur and CEO of a world-famous company like Tesla, you'd expect him to be serious all the time. Still, quite contrary to expectations, Elon has another side to his personality.

When this unexpected buzz came out, fans took the opportunity to craft funny memes out of the cover image itself and kept the bar on entertainment.
