The 'Elon Musk Buys and Deletes' meme format surged in popularity following his high-profile acquisition of Twitter. It satirizes Musk’s massive wealth and unpredictable business moves by imagining him purchasing unpopular apps, websites, or cultural phenomena simply to erase them from existence. Often presented as a fake news headline or a tweet screenshot, the meme functions as a digital wish-fulfillment tool for users who want to see certain platforms disappear. It highlights the intersection of billionaire influence and internet culture, turning corporate takeovers into a recurring punchline about fixing the internet through destruction.
