Twitter boss Elon Musk has slammed liberals for having “no sense of humor” because their worldview is “premised on a lie.”
“The essence of comedy is to reveal the truth,” Musk explained during a recent interview with The Babylon Bee.
“A hidden truth that people understand intuitively or explicitly, and there’s that moment of revealed, kernel of often unacknowledged truth.
“And in that unacknowledged truth is the humor.
“If you’re premised on a lie, you can no longer be funny, because there’s no revealed truth.
“A lot of people on the left have no sense of humor.
“They’re not funny.
“If there are so many no-fly zones that you have to avoid all the time then there’s nothing left to make fun about.”

Musk also took a swipe at National Public Radio (NPR).
“I think they got to pull their punches when critiquing the government at NPR.
“Just a guess, based on their extreme dependence on government funding.
“You don’t generally bite the hand that feeds you.
“If we’re going to call some media state-affiliated, well, there’s plenty of organizations in the West that are state-affiliated.
“So then we should apply the label equally.”
