After Elon Musk Tweets Meme Making Fun Of Corporations Celebrating Pride Month, People Remember When Tesla Celebrated Pride Month

Billionaire Elon Musk has added to his lengthy list of recent controversies that include his contentious Twitter deal, his sexual misconduct allegation, his Elden Ring build and his lost internet argument with satirical magazine Hard Drive by tweeting a Tornado Selfie meme about corporations during Pride Month.

It seems Musk shares the increasingly common opinion, particularly on Reddit, that corporations being vocally supportive of the LGBTQ+ community during June is cringeworthy considering how companies seem to do nothing to support the community during the other 11 months of the year.

This, as many have noticed, was not always Musk's stance, and people quickly remembered when his company Tesla, and Musk himself, outspokenly participated in Pride Month on social media in 2018.

It's difficult to get a read on how Musk feels about the LGBTQ+ community and Pride Month in general. Just two years after he championed the LGBTQ+ community on Twitter, he tweeted the controversial "Pronouns suck," much to the frustration of then-girlfriend Grimes. Today, a mere 24 hours after he posted his "corporations celebrating Pride Month" meme, he bragged about how Tesla scored "100/100 for LGBTQ equality" (which Tesla then retweeted).

Personal choices are your own and are respected.

Perhaps the whole situation is yet another incident of contradictory shitposting from Musk, whose attempts to be funny on Twitter have often conflicted with his position as the CEO of a major company.

Naturally, this isn't the only controversy Musk has found himself embroiled in today, for while he was posting uncredited memes, he purportedly threatened termination for any Tesla employee who didn't want to return to in-office work.
