Tech billionaire Elon Musk today pulled off a classic Elon Musk with a tweet. When a satire website shared a piece called, “Whistleblower fired from Facebook for constantly blowing whistle while everyone was trying to program”, the Tesla boss responded, saying his electric vehicle company too may have faced the same situation.
“I feel like this has happened at Tesla a few times,” Musk tweeted, replying the link of the satire piece shared by The Babylon Bee.
