    We know the “joke.” But that wasn’t what you were doing. You are actually literally blaming Obama.

      Sure. That’s why I put it in quotes AND italics. Let’s also ignore the context that Elon is once again begging the federal government to save his ass.

      The joke didn’t land. I’ll take that L.

        Well maybe you don’t get the joke then… It’s meant to be sarcastic. So when you’re actually earnestly blaming Obama for something, it doesn’t read as a joke anymore.

          If I was earnestly blaming Obama, I wouldn’t have purposely phrased it and typed it the way I did.

          I was too subtle and it didn’t land. It happens.
