Elon Musk's break from Twitter triggers memes, netizens ask 'going to Mars?'

Twitter users and memers have used SpaceX CEO Elon Musk’s announcement of taking a break from the microblogging site as an opportunity to crack ‘space jokes’. While some people predicted that Musk might be travelling to ‘another planet’, others joked about him talking in terms of ‘Mars time and not Earth time’. Just days after all eyes were on SpaceX CEO Elon Musk for carrying out a historic Crew Dragon launch along with NASA, he has announced a break from Twitter “for a while” on June 2. Without providing any reason for the abrupt announcement, Musk, who has been active on the platform for a long time, said he would be “off” the microblogging website.

‘Time for new planet’

Even though Musk’s post drew mixed reactions with some criticising him for not voicing any stance on the death of George Floyd or Black Lives Matter, others joked about how it is his ‘time to move on to new planet’. One of the Twitter users even mocked the SpaceX CEO, who is moderately active on social media, and said ‘it won’t be long till you’re back’. One internet user even brought in Marvel’s Avengers and predicted ‘Ironman is coming'.
