20 Hilarious Twitter Memes About Twitter
When it comes to memes, Twitter is one of the best places to find them. The social media platform was first conceived by Jack Dorsey. It originally went by the name Twttr, with Dorsey sending the first tweet in 2006. Since then Twitter has become one of the top social media platforms in the world. There are roughly 330 million people with a Twitter account. They use the program to send out messages, images, videos, links, and of course, memes.
When it comes to memes, Twitter users can be ruthless. There are countless Twitter accounts set up to only tweet memes. While there are safety guides and regulations, many Twitter memes slip through the cracks. Hundreds of these memes are also aimed at Twitter HQ and the platform itself. These types of memes have intensified this year after Elon Musk revealed he intends to buy Twitter.
In honor of the social media platform and Musk’s impending purchase, here are 20 of the best memes about Twitter.
1. The Hobbit In Meme Form
This hilarious meme casts Jack Dorsey and Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg as the main charters from The Hobbit.
2. Some Men Just Want To Watch the World Burn
When it was announced Elon Musk wanted to buy Twitter, the internet went into meltdown. It resulted in hundreds of hilarious memes, including this one about Twitter CEO Parag Agrawal. Taking inspiration from The Dark Knight, it proposes Musk as the chaotic Joker telling Agrawal he is now in charge.
3. The Rasputin Look
Twitter owner Jack Dorsey went full wild man during quarantine, growing a huge beard. He copped a lot of flack for it, with this Twitter meme comparing Dorsey to Russian mystic Rasputin. The resemblance is uncanny.
