If you are here asking: "Is this a science meme?"
Probably, yes. We use the Dawkins definition of meme: a replicating idea, not just an image macro with a fact on it. A good post here doesn't need to teach you something. It needs to make you ask something: who, what, where, when, and especially why or how.
Science isn't a filing cabinet of facts, it's a conversation. For example, a photo of an eel or other localized wildlife counts because most people never see one, and wonder is the first step of inquiry. A car meme counts if it makes you curious about what's under the bonnet. If you want to talk about something you noticed in the world, chances are someone else wants to talk about it too.
We moderate for vibe, not category. Pruning is light, especially where a post creates interesting discussion. Experimenting is encouraged.
See the pinned paper on Shitposting as Public Pedagogy if you want the academic case for why this works.

Hm. That would insinuate that Trump is Jesus, and that’s not the message I feel we should be sending.
He's for certain an Antichrist.
I can't ever turn down the opportunity to share this site
Amazing. The one problem is that when the Bible explicitly uses "Antichrist" it is plural.
I mean, we're about to get a round 2...
Like maybe a church organization, that backs trump and has a ton of political influence, such as Liberty University and their churches
Would that make Musk the Anti Judas?
I understood it more as Musk betraying his previous fanbase. Those that used to think that he was a positive force, investing in cool things. Before he revealed himself as a deranged asshole.
Same. Dude started off on the semblance-of-sanity side and then betrayed logic and science in multiple stunning acts of pure idiocy.
This is Judas-as-metaphor, not picture The Last Supper.

Here me out: Judas betrays Jesus.
Not saying you're wrong. But I'm willing to let the man speak.
I’m fine with the betrayal part. It’s the deification of the asshole Trump I have a huge problem with.
So trump will go to heaven in April?
That, or Jesus was the American people and we're in a post-betrayal world, which I guess would make Trump Pontius Pilate.
