Well now, the Tesla CEO has liked a satirical article that pokes fun at the reaction from liberals.

The Libs of TikTok Twitter reposted an article titled: 'Liberals Raise Concerns About Account That's Making Them Look Bad By Just Sharing Their Actual Words.' It was published by The Babylon Bee, a conservative Christian news satire website.

"Liberals are worried that the popular Libs of TikTok account is making them look 'bad, stupid, and completely out of touch with reality,'" they penned.

"According to multiple sources, it's doing this by just sharing their actual words, according to leftists who have raised concerns about the targeted harassment of their ideas by just sharing their ideas."

The article continued to mock the idea that liberals were angered by their own content. In one hypothetical interview, the article wrote:

"'Yes, I posted that video of myself screaming about teaching gender ideology to kindergartners,' said local Portland teacher Marie Walsky. 'But it was just intended for psychotic people on TikTok to consume—I never meant for normal people with regular thoughts and feelings to see it. By sharing my ideas, the Libs of TikTok account is making me look like a real dummy.'

'When I screamed at the sky because someone misgendered me, I never thought someone would amplify that to a wider audience and make me look like a completely unhinged psychopath. By, you know, just sharing exactly what I actually did.'

They jokingly concluded: "At publishing time, Taylor Lorenz was knocking on the door of the author of this Babylon Bee article."
