Elon Musk Gets Twitter Talking By Tweeting "Free America Now"

April 29th, 2020 - 4:40 PM EDT by Bridget

As we face the uncertainty of how long the current pandemic will be affecting our lives, many are utilizing their social media accounts to express how much they miss their former lives and friends and how much they fear for their health and economic well-being. And while many celebrities have aired their frustrations, several tweets from one in particular sent Twitter over the edge.

Last night, Elon Musk not only shared his support for the state of Texas' decision to lift their lockdown restrictions this week, he also fired off a "FREE AMERICA NOW," tweet that received instant criticism. Memes, GIFs and countless critical tweets sent his name to trend all day, with many even comparing him to President Trump. While Musk had seemingly downplayed the virus back in March, many were shocked to find someone with such a strong scientific background dismissing data completely.

 


 
 

Many users were quick to point out how disappointed they were with Musk's tweets.

 

 

 

Musk's tweets happened to remind a lot of people of Trump.

 

 

 
An older tweet from Musk's account was shared to debunk his argument.

 

 
Some users weren't shocked at all by Musk's lockdown tweets.

 

 

 

Of course, many users were happy to agree with Musk.

 

 
And yet, some thought he might have actually been hacked.

 

 
However, one mystery does remain. Does Elon Musk actually live on Earth?

Realistic lockdown
- a couple of months so that hospitals have time to be supplied

What you retards want
-to be lifted 6 months to a year after a vaccine has been made and everyone is fully inoculated to make sure it works.

>Elon posts something I don't agree with
>Elon is a ardent Trump supporter & science denier who wants to kill everyone & stuff his pockets by reverting lockdown measures

If 1 tweet was all it took to send you wild, you didn't know the guy to begin with

He may be a bit crazy, but he isn't stupid.
The economy, which encompasses you, me, and everyone, can only be still so long before there are long-term effects. Just you wait until stimulus checks wear out and people start getting fired. Most people will want to get out and work pretty soon, just you wait.

Wow, the rich guy accustomed to instant gratification thinks you can just flip a switch and turn off a viral outbreak when you start to get sightly bored of it. What a surprising perspective.
