About

Muskposting refers to humorous variations of the name of entrepreneur Elon Musk, often paired with photoshopped images of objects created using his photographs.

On July 11th, 2014, Twitter user @jdcrowley[1] tweeted a joke explaining that Elon Musk's full name is "Elongated Muskrat", which gained over 45 likes and 10 retweets over the next five years (shown below).
