People are using the same meme template to troll Elon Musk's Twitter

Twitter has always been a bit of a dumpster fire, but over the past week it's evolved into something that pretty much defies metaphors.

It started when Elon Musk's reluctant takeover became official, then quickly escalated as he fired top executives, announced the introduction of an $8 monthly fee for Twitter Blue (which includes the blue tick), and generally made a lot of people quite angry.

"Twitter laid me off today," wrote Ho. "If you know of any open positions for project managers or senior software engineers, let me know. I was in charge of the feature that made sure every time you tweeted about climate change you were served a fossil fuel ad."

Ho isn't the first person to use this format, which pokes fun at the things people find frustrating about the platform. It's been around for a few days now, and has slowly been picking up more and more steam.
