Who has two thumbs, rocket ships, and the stankest of memes? This guy, that’s who.
Everyone’s favorite hole digger, Elon Musk, announced on Feb. 1 that he is now the new and proud owner of what is sure to turn into a bustling empire. That’s right, Musk bought stankmemes.com.
“Just bought stankmemes.com oh yeah,” he tweeted in what was either a great public-relations move for a burgeoning meme empire or a bold declaration that even the rich start dicking around online come Friday afternoon at the office.
