Tesla CEO—and prospective new Twitter owner—Elon Musk is known for his eccentric, often boundary-pushing tweets.

But one he posted on Mother's Day crossed a line, at least where Musk's mother Maye was concerned.

On the big day, Elon Musk posted a cryptic tweet about dying "under mysterious circumstances" after a Russian official threatened him for supporting Ukraine. But Maye—a well-known fashion and beauty model for 50 years—wasn't laughing.

She quickly set her son straight with a quote tweet, seen below.

In a chiding tweet most of us could probably hear in our own mother's voices, Maye Musk wrote "That's not funny" along with several angry frown emojis.

Maye Musk's hackles were up because of the strange tweet Elon Musk posted earlier that evening, which just read:

"If I die under mysterious circumstances, it’s been nice knowin ya"

The timing of the tweet would imply it was a response to a threat issued to Elon Musk by Russian space chief Dmitry Rogozin, who lashed out at him earlier that day for supplying Ukraine's military with his Starlink satellite internet terminals amid the Russian invasion.

Elon appeared undeterred by Rogozin's rhetoric however.

Along with a screenshot of Rogozin's press release in which he claimed the troops Musk supplied with Starlink terminals are "Nazis," he included a tersely worded retort.

Elon Musk wrote:

"The word 'Nazi' doesn’t mean what he seems to think it does."

Rogozin directly threatened Musk for his involvement, writing:

"Elon, you will be held accountable like an adult—no matter how much you'll play the fool."

Given the severity with which Russia and its President Vladimir Putin infamously deal with its enemies and detractors, Elon Musk's quip about dying mysteriously makes a lot more sense—and so does Maye Musk's lack of amusement about it.

For his part, Elon did what he could to keep the atmosphere light, following up with his mom with yet another joke.

Many others on Twitter were able to find the humor in the situation.




Here's hoping Maye's Mother's Day got better from here.

Travel Website Trivago Sparks Debate After Asking Customers For A Tip At Checkout

Traveling is much more expensive than it used to be, and it's also become increasingly hard to plan out with more delayed and canceled flights and excessive tourism in destinations popularized by social media.

That makes websites that make travel planning and booking easier practically invaluable—but what's the best way for users to show their appreciation beyond utilizing these sites and recommending them to fellow travelers?

No matter how beautiful they are, every rose has its thorns—and apparently so does fabric softener.

Fabric softener is marketed to consumers, especially moms and families, as the perfect finishing touch to washing laundry. Not only will the clothes be clean, but they'll be softer to the touch and smell of beautiful flowers instead of "just" cleanliness.
