The actor couldn't help but zing Musk after he quoted Patinkin's character in the film, Inigo Montoya, during an interview with CNBC, saying 'offer me money, offer me power, I don’t care.'

Inconceivable!

Elon Musk tried to justify his ridiculous tweets and their negative impact by quoting Inigo Montoya, yes THE Inigo Montoya from The Princess Bride.


In a recent interview with David Faber on CNBC, Musk was questioned about his usually controversial comments and posts on his own platform and whether or not they affect his business.

Musk took a loooong pause and then replied smugly:

“You know, I’m reminded of. There’s a scene in ‘The Princess Bride’ — great movie — where he confronts the person who killed his father and he says, ‘Offer me money, offer me power, I don’t care.’”

Faber asked for clarification:

"So you just don't care?"

And the CEO responded:

“I’ll say what I want to say and if the consequence of that is losing money, so be it."

You can watch the clip below.

But the man behind the iconic character, Mandy Patinkin himself, epically trolled Musk using another Princess Bride quote:

“I do not think it means what you think it means.”

Life is pain, Highness.

People on Musk's own platform rejoiced in Patinkin's clapback.












Of course, Patinkin is no stranger to quoting the hilarious fairy tale to get his point across.

Last week he picketed for the Writers Guild of America strike holding a sign that read:

"You killed residuals"
"Prepare to pay"

Well done, Mandy, well done.

Stephen Colbert Makes Somber Plea To Americans In Wake Of Charlie Kirk's Death

Late-night host Stephen Colbert had a somber message for Americans as he addressed the assassination of far-right activist Charlie Kirk, stressing that "political violence only leads to more political violence."

Kirk died after an unidentified gunman shot him in the neck as he—ironically enough—mocked victims of gun violence at an event in Utah Valley State University. Kirk's murder has galvanized the far-right, with President Donald Trump and his surrogates claiming without evidence that rhetoric from Democrats is responsible for Kirk's death.

TikToker Hilariously Calls Out Target After Champion Pants Feature Awkwardly-Placed Front Pleat

Sometimes you can just tell when something was designed *for* women, but was not actually designed *by* women.

Take, for instance, the new pleated pants available at Target from the Champion clothing line. While there's nothing wrong with pleated pants and they certainly have a suitable spot in the workplace, the latest rendition of Champion pleated pants are, shall we say, NSFW.

Woman Goes Viral After Revealing How Her Obsession With Matcha Landed Her In The Hospital

Let's be honest: Too much of anything isn't good for us. It's all about the balance!

But the media and social media trends have taught us that certain things are really good for us, encouraging us to be like the "very mindful and very demure" girls and take care of ourselves. One such example is drinking more matcha, especially if you really like coffee or think you have a caffeine addiction.
