Elon Lights up the Internet With Tweet About Dying 'Under Mysterious Circumstances'

Elon Musk had people talking again when he tweeted — seemingly half in jest and half seriously — about the possibility of dying mysteriously.

If I die under mysterious circumstances, it’s been nice knowin ya

Now, he knows he’s taking on a lot when he’s standing in the way of the various powers that be with the position that he’s taking. A variety of groups on the left, including former Clinton operatives, are trying to throw blocks into his acquisition of Twitter, trying to get companies to boycott the platform.

Some people joked back at Musk’s comment.

Wait… What do you know about Hillary Clinton??

Do you have dirt on the Clintons?

But he also had tweeted that he’d been threatened by the head of the Russian space agency Roscosmos Dimitri Rogozin in tweets just before he tweeted the “mysterious” comment. The threat was allegedly over Musk providing Starlink to help Ukraine continue to keep their internet going.

“Elon Musk, thus, is involved in supplying the fascist forces in Ukraine with military communication equipment,” the statement read. “And for this, Elon, you will be held accountable like an adult—no matter how much you’ll play the fool.”

Rogozin also bragged on his Telegram channel, “In a nuclear war, NATO countries will be destroyed by us in half an hour,” but said that they wouldn’t do that because it could affect the “state of the Earth.”

But Musk shot back at Rogozin, indicating that his threats weren’t worth much if Rogozin couldn’t even take criticism on Twitter and had to protect his timeline.

Seriously, how tough are you really if can’t even handle 280 chars of criticism!?

But while Musk was joking and making light of threats, his mom — just like any mother — didn’t think it was all that funny and Musk tried to apologize for causing her concern on Mother’s Day.
