Elon Musk is hard work. The man’s richer than God. If he was a kind, committed socialist, he’d spend his time redistributing his wealth rather than living like a cyberpunk king.

Instead of doing that, Elon spends his time acting like a total, insufferable jerk on Twitter. Last month, he dropped an irritating Soundcloud single on the website as a ‘joke.’  This week, he has decided to pick a fight with Coachella.

Yep, Elon Musk reckons that the now-cancelled festival “should postpone itself until it stops sucking”, a reasonably amusing joke that he immediately followed up with a hypocritical sledge.

“Too much corporate sponsorship” killed Coachella apparently, says the man who personifies everything wrong with corporations.

Anyway, unsurprisingly, Coachella weren’t ready to take that one lying down. Almost immediately, they clapped back with an image from Jaden Smith’s famous 2019 Coachella set, during which he performed on top of a floating Tesla Model X.

To be honest, it’s weird that Musk has decided to come for Coachella at all, given that he’s elsewhere admitted that’s where he first clapped his eyes on his now girlfriend, the musician Grimes.

In any case, Elon, if you’re reading this, stop being a 14-year-old troll and start donating 74 percent of your wealth to charitable causes. Redistribute, you failed 4-chan poster-turned oligarch, and then we can talk.
