X-formerly-Twitter owner Elon Musk suffered a mini-meltdown over the weekend after receiving a deadly broadside from an esteemed literary figure, Joyce Carol Oates, who in a single tweet vivisected his whole persona with cold, surgical brevity. “Oates is a liar and delights in being mean,” Musk also said. Shortly after being accused of being an uncultured buffoon who doesn’t watch movies or read books, Musk began posting about watching movies and referencing books. The ads claimed that Musk “reads a lot.”In the aftermath of Musk crashing out, Oates nonchalantly revealed that her intent wasn’t to roast Musk in the first place.
