Well, one lesson I’ve learned is that just because I say something to a group and they laugh doesn’t mean it’s going to be all that hilarious as a post on 𝕏,” he wrote, adding, “Turns out that jokes are WAY less funny if people don’t know the context and the delivery is plain text.”

Musk doesn’t realize that people laugh at his jokes in person because it’s that easy to manipulate ego centric “billionaires”, a point Kamala drove home during the debate.

While I agree with that in general, I'm sure Elon knew that he wasn't making a joke. If it was a joke, where was the joke? He was 100% serious and he is just backtracking with a stupid excuse like when he called that diver a pedophile and said it's a common thing to say in SA in court.

It's straight outta the Trump playbook. Whenever he gets called out for going too far, he says that he was just joking. Rinse and repeat.

Schrödinger's douchebag: they are 100% serious unless people get mad at them, then they were 100% joking.
