In the roughly two weeks since Musk dropped $44 billion to buy the social network, it's slashed its workforce by half and experienced an exodus of both senior executives and advertisers.Boy, it didn't take Texas billionaire and full-time internet troll Elon Musk long to turn Twitter into even more of a shit show.

Musk himself tweeted the following day that the platform would begin tagging parody accounts with the label"Parody."
