The Dankest Memes of Elon Musk Smoking Weed

September 7, 2018, 2:25pm

“Elon Musk smokes weed live on YouTube with Joe Rogan” might seem like a sentence created by some sort of internet Mad Lib generator, but unfortunately, this is an actual event that has occurred in real life.

Yes, the business magnate (or “magnet,” as the video description reads) faced a doink live on YouTube for an episode of The Joe Rogan Experience Thursday night, and, predictably, not too long after, the internet lost its damn mind. Amidst Tesla’s stock tumbling and speculation about whether or not he actually inhaled, Twitter and Reddit were buzzing with Musk marijuana memes (sorry).
