When Elon Musk tweeted “Don’t post anything controversial” followed by a winking emoji on Sunday night, the tweet got the attention of every major social media platform. His warning to never post anything controversial was seen as an ironic statement considering SpaceX’s recent rocket launch that failed after only two minutes.

This announcement started a meme-fest on Twitter with people trying to make lighthearted and humorous posts about potentially controversial topics like politics, religion, and Donald Trump.

A few hours later he tweeted “This too shall pass” with a rainbow emoji, which many saw as a reference to his company’s successful launch of the Falcon Heavy rocket.

Elon Musk, the world’s wealthiest man and a Twitter fan favorite, sent a tweet that shocked the internet. The Tesla founder is a frequent Twitter user and recently posted a funny Twitter sign-up meme. It was his caption, “Good thing I don’t tweet anything controversial,” that caught everyone’s attention.
