Elon Musk Just Got Trolled Hard Using His Own Words After Asking Twitter 'What Can't We Predict?'

A tweet Elon Musk wrote back in March came back to haunt him when he asked his followers a simple question last Friday.

The business magnate and Tesla CEO asked:


"What can't we predict?"
In response, The Nation's reporter Ken Klippenstein responded with a visual clapback Musk did not predict.

Klippenstein shared a screenshot of a tweet in which Musk confidently made a prediction about the pandemic back in March.

Musk wrote:

"Based on current trends, probably close to zero new cases in US too by end of April."

In context, Musk was responding to a question about whether or not he believed the statistics mentioned in an article about there being no new cases of infection in China on that particular day.

He said, "yes," and followed up with his erroneous prediction about infection cases in the U.S. by April's end.

Of course, this was proven to be false when the World Health Organization declared the virus outbreak a global pandemic on March 11, 2020 and cases in the U.S. began to surge at the beginning of April.

As of this writing, there have been 205,000 deaths in the U.S. due to the virus.

People seized on the opportunity to troll the SpaceX founder and CEO for his tweet.









Musk has nearly 40 million followers on Twitter, and it seems many chose to interpret his inquiry as a challenge instead of a genuine question. He did not see that coming.

MAGA Influencer Charlie Kirk Called Out After Blaming DEI For High Death Toll In Texas Flooding Disaster

Turning Point USA founder and MAGA influencer Charlie Kirk was harshly criticized after he claimed the death toll in the flash floods that have devastated central Texas "would not have been as high if it wasn't for DEI," ridiculously suggesting that principles of diversity, equity, and inclusion were responsible.

Kirk's comments are reflective of President Donald Trump’s broader push to dismantle federal programs focused on diversity and inclusion—part of what he pledged in his inaugural address would be a campaign to stop attempts to “socially engineer race and gender into every aspect of public and private life.”
