Trump Signs Executive Order Requiring All Americans to Be Friends With Elon Musk (theshovel.com.au)

Elon Musk will finally achieve his dream of people liking him, after President Trump made it a criminal offence not to, in an executive order signed today.

In what is believed to be a quid pro quo for over US$270 million in campaign donations, the executive order will also require Americans to laugh at Elon Musk’s jokes, a harsh stipulation which some experts say may contravene human rights.

Man do I wish Jeb Bush, from a family of political oligarchy, was what we had to deal with these days instead this shit.

It is arguably getting pretty hard to figure out which news articles are true and which not (if it wasn’t filed under The Onion. I guess that is probably not a good sign.

I'm friends with Tom already, I don't need Elon in my life.

The reason I knew this wasn't true is because it said Elon Musk, not Trump.
