In the year of our meme-lord 2019, Elon Musk has taken to Twitter to discuss some eerily well-executed photographs of his face edited on the body of Dwayne”The Rock” Johnson. We’ll allow the picture speak for itself .
If you were to quickly glance over these pictures, you’d totally believe they were merely generic images of The Rock. It is insane that somebody has taken the opportunity to make these masterpieces of contemporary technology. The fact that tech billionaire Elon Musk took the time out of his (assumingly) quite busy schedule to share it with a funny, self-aware and self-deprecating remark, is unexpected.
Musk has been having a peculiar pop culture moment lately, whether he is feuding with Azealia Banks or tweeting about strategies to take Telsa private, he does appear to be leaning into his popularity from the internet-meme culture.
Musk even lately went on Pewdiepie’s YouTube series, Meme Review, to discuss his personal preferred memes. Among Musk’s top memes is where enthusiasts edit his face on the body of Rapper Post Malone, providing the CEO face tattoos and unruly hair.
However, suppose with us today, what if Elon Musk and The Rock did unite personas somehow. Imagine the sort of world we’d be living in if there were a Musk-Rock hybrid walking among us mere-mortals. Both have a combined net worth of $21.58 billion (yes, we did the math). Musk-Rock would be an unstoppable force in whatever field they decided to pursue. They would probably create a self-driving rocket to fly to Mars to locate the Curiosity rover and challenge it to a Fast and Furious–design race via Martian sandstorms.
Honestly, that would be pretty amazing, and we would all watch. If photographs like this is how we input this deadline, keep those memes coming Elon.
