“Elon Musk Buys” is a rising trend on Google, beginning when it was revealed that the billionaire would be buying Twitter. The fact that a single person can just go ahead and buy one of the top social media platforms is clearly outlandish to some, as memes about Elon Musk buying other outrageous properties are now doing the rounds. “Elon Musk Buys Fortnite,” “Elon Musk Buys Moon,” “Elon Musk Buys Coca Cola,” and “Elon Musk Buys Country Music” are just a few examples of the meme format.
Why is “Elon Musk Buys” trending?
“Elon Musk Buys” was initially trending because of the heavily rumored and then very official purchase of Twitter by the business magnate.
In the aftermath of this news, memes were generated using the “Elon Musk Buys” format, applying it to entities such as Fortnite, Coca-Cola, and country music. It’s tough to imagine how Elon Musk could buy country music, but many thought the same thing of Twitter, and now look where we are.
Is Elon Musk really going to buy and delete Fortnite?
At the time of writing, there is no public plan for Elon Musk to buy Fortnite and delete the game. Though the man has certainly surprised folks by buying Twitter, the phenom battle royale title is not yet in his sights.
The “Elon Musk Buys Fortnite” trend likely stems from this tweet that was posted by Elon Musk in 2018. A screenshot from a satirical article with the headline “Elon Musk buys Fortnite and deletes it” was accompanied by Musk’s own words of “Had to be done ur welcome.”
Fortnite is still up and running… for now.
In related news, “Elon Musk Delete Twitter” has been trending ahead of his acquisition of the social media platform. In gaming news, NBA 2K22 was revealed as a surprise addition to the Xbox Game Pass. Also, Miyamoto has delayed the Super Mario Bros. animated movie until next year.
