Bye Bye Birdie: Elon Musk is at a table with two advisors. The woman says "You've allowed Nazis back on your platform, turning it into a cesspoll of hate and disinformation. You've made a number of increasingly bizarre business decisions, causing Twitter to lose much of its value! You've made insane comments, causing advertisers to flee and panicking investors! We need to take immediate action!" And Elon says, "I've been a fool! Of course, it's been right in front of me all along!" The man says, "By George I think he's got it!" But Elon holds up a sign with an X and is wearing a pirate hat with an X, and he says "We need a name change! Arrrrr!"
