Well, he's going to have a hard time coming up with satirical roasts about Musk that won't be overtaken by reality the next day.

I've said for years that the onion should periodically publish real articles just to fuck with people, and ever since Mango Mussolini it wouldn't even need to change much to do so.

Isn't the Onion the one that reposts the school shooting article with only the date changed everytime a shooting happens in the states? To my knowledge its a real news article

Edit: Found it, it seems though the last time they updated it was in 2022, but its basically a non satire response to the fact that absolutely nothing is being done to deal with the state's problem with mass shootings

What do you mean, nothing is being done? They're giving more people guns! Surely that will solve the problem!

No no, fakes names and misattributed quotes means it's satire
