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.

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.

The other day I saw posts from The Onion and Not The Onion right next to each other in my feed. Guess which one sounded more far fetched?
