Elon Musk Destroys The ‘Flat Earth Society’ With A Single Question, And Their Reply Is The Pinnacle Of Irony
Elon Musk is known for founding automaker Tesla and Space Exploration Technologies Corp. (SpaceX), but recently he has set up the Flat Earth Society for such a burn, it could be his greatest achievement yet.
The flat earth believers are either the biggest conspiracy theory, making total fun of everyone else or they are slightly cuckoo in seriously debating the shape of the earth. The Flat-Earthers supposedly believe Earth is a flat disc and everything that suggests otherwise is a conspiracy, created by NASA and other government agencies. On Tuesday, the billionaire investor, engineer, and inventor Elon Musk asked them a somewhat philosophical question on Twitter, wondering why there isn’t a Flat Mars Society. To his and everybody else’s surprise (and amusement), the official Twitter account of the Flat Earth Society responded. Scroll down to read the hilarious exchange between Musk and the flat earth conspiracy believers!

The founder of Tesla and SpaceX is working hard to make a human colony on Mars a reality, so he was interested in what the Flat-Earthers think of the Red Planet
To his and everybody else’s surprise (and amusement), the official Twitter account of the Flat Earth Society responded
Their answer, however, seems to contrast with all of their beliefs and it sparked a hilarious debate
Elon was probably as confused as the Internet
If the earth was flat, cats would have pushed everything over the edge by now.
Hah hah haaaaaah. Ahhh. Yes.
that is why there are missing ships and planes. a gigantic cat on top of the earth pushed them off the edge. :D :D :D
Perfect reply, as cats are notorious gravity testers. 🐈
Barbara, you just won the internet. Congrats!
Omg, I never thought of that! I nearly choked on my coffee!
Oh my god. This response deserves more approval.
You did a better job than Elon Musk at making the Flat Earthers look misguided!
Barbara that was beautiful
I can definitely relate
Barbara Lewis you should send that to The Flat Earth Society and Elin. This does prove the claim is false. Wouldn't space be filled of animals that fell off in the dark or fog. Maybe instead of the death penalty or life in prison we could just let them jump off the edge. How does all the water stay put. I mean I believe in a lot of shady things, ghosts and UFOs, but never in Flat Earth.
that is a fact! also, where does the water keep comming from? if it falls of the edges? the rain?
LOL i think the same thing
Ok.... that's funny.. don't care who you are
Methinks the Flat Earth Society are taking the piss?
I agree. I think the whole flat earth thing is a giant joke.
Actually if you read about Mike, this isn't the first rocket he's made, and he's only recently started "believing" on flat earth. He set up a gofundme campaign to fund his latest rocket and only got $310 out of his $150,000 target. Then he heard about the flat earth society, "converted" to their cause and they funded him. Seems like he's mainly just using them for the money, and it's doubtful he truly believes them.
Unfortunately there are many people who actually believe the earth is flat. For example Mike Hughes, who built a rocket to proof it. https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation-now/2017/11/25/mad-mike-hughes-cancels-rocket-launch-prove-earth-flat/894762001/
@Greg Even if you are right, it still shows that many people believe the earth to be flat, those who financed his rocket.
And no,there is nothing like giant joke about flat earth.Joke is what they present as earth the stupid manipulated images
Me thinks...its just fun to screw with him..if He was that smart why was he sleeping with Amber Heard!....lol
They actually aren't, and are unfortunately VERY serious.
i think so aswell , but i bet there is some real flatties out tthere
There are people who still believe in the healing power of crystals and pyramids too. I suspect most of the "serious" flat earthers are just people so lost in trolling that they themselves can't tell whether they're serious or not.
I've tangled with some flattards online, and I think if they were taking the piss, they wouldn't have used such vitriol. Plus the sheer number of flat earth videoss on You Tube; whole channels are devoted to it. Some people really are that insane.
They are. There actually are loonies who truly believe the earth is flat, but the Flat Earth Society are a bunch of trolls and jokers. It's pure satire.
You are what you eat ...even in words :;)
I thought so too, so did my bf, he joined a fb group of flats earthers and added me, they are actually into it, honestly and dogmatically into it and get enraged and abusive towards any ppl who disagrees or try to talk about it, I thought they were still kidding but once I read how predatory they went attacking other users I better left that surreal group, it was funny but rather dissapointing on human kind and stopped being funny once I saw how abusive they were, and believe me I've already got a low bar for most humans, those are study cases to whomever might be working on a thesis or essay on that, they should be examined, they are like a cult, many of them are extreme christians too, so those fixations very likely come from that. Maybe the people who started it did it as a joke but then actual insane ludicrous slow sheeps joined.
ugh, why did my comment repeated it self in every section of the replies? :O I'm trying to erase it but doesn't seem to have that option, here, WTF.
Sorry, it's the 3 dots after how long ago you commented. Edit or Delete.
Unless they are trump supporters.....then yes, they really do believe the earth is flat.
There it is! I knew someone would see this and think of Donal Trump, who is not a flat earther, BTW. It amuses me to see everyone's obsessive crush on Trump.
Stop the reason I like boredpanda no political BS
The earth is a cube, dammit!
Cube? Not a dodecahedron? My whole life was a lie...
ikr? i was banking on a trapezoid. if not at least a triangle.
No, it’s a pyramid!! God... Some people...
Dude, no, it's OBVIOUSLY a hexagon. Sheesh, learn some more science before spewing false facts. Lmaoo
Guys! It's a pentagonal dodecahedron on top of a pyramid, that is a cats ear.
YOUR'E ALL WRONG,. IT'S A PENTAGON!!!
Uh, no, It's OBVIOUSLY a decagon *rolls eyes*
YES !! thank you
I have no idea what you all are talking about. It's definitely hour-glass shaped.
It's a donut....mmmm donuts.
OH YESSS ! i take back the pyramid - how could i have ever believed it was a pyramid, pffft !
No that am Bizarro World. Me understand your confusion and think you am normally quite smart. Me am sorry, I should have called you stupid. bizarrowor...68d799.jpg
Everyone knows that the Earth is round , on a silver platter, on the back of a turtle; and it's turtles all of the way down!!
No, Warren. It's on four elephants on a turtle.
I knew it! Mine craft doesn’t lie!
Guys, guys, calm down. It can be ALL OF THEM.
wow. 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔
