There have been countless ridiculous Elon Musk Twitter parody accounts, but French Elon Musque has to be one of our favorites!

The world's most meme-able billionaire is making headlines again for offering his tech services and expertise to a Thai soccer team of 12 boys and their coach who were trapped in a cave for two weeks. The soccer team was miraculously rescued, but not with Musk's help - the mission was completed by Thai Navy Seals and Musk's devices and rescue plans were deemed unnecessary and impractical by the heads of the operation. Regardless, the internet has begun joking about his determination to help, and tendency to perhaps take unnecessary credit...
In light of the ordeal, here are some hilarious Musk memes we can all laugh at - some at his expense and some made by the man himself.
If you're anything like us, you've been desperately following the harrowing saga of a Thai youth soccer team that has been trapped in flooded caves for nearly two weeks. The complicated rescue, which has already resulted in the death of one diving expert, has caught the attention of the entire world. Including, apparently, Elon Musk.
Musk and a team of engineers quickly designed a submarine "escape pod" to aid the rescue efforts. Tested in an LA high school pool, the pod may arrive in time to help the rescue of the final five boys stuck in the caves. While many people are quick to accuse Elon of publicity stunts, the gravity of this rescue operation has been emphasized ever since it began. It's comforting that the great minds of the world can't be utilized in times of crisis. Respect.
Elon Musk's Boring Company recently released its flamethrowers to eager consumers on Saturday for $500 each. Perhaps the best part of it all is that the name of the flamethrower is "Not-a-Flamethrower" due to restrictions on shipping for anything labeled such an extreme fire hazard.
Musk himself tweeted that the best use of the flamethrowers would be to light fires in one's fireplace or barbecue, but of course people are using them for more epic purposes. Was this a good idea on Musk's part? Probably not, but at least it provides us with some entertainment!
What could possibly go wrong!

As parody accounts go, @BoredElonMusk is a special case. The account has been around for five years, during which Ellon Musk has become more of a pop culture icon. The jokey tweets that dream of everyday innovation have become closer to reality than we'd ever imagined - Musk even met his girlfriend on Twitter. Whatever happens between the genius Tesla CEO and Grimes, we hope she convinces him to make these tweets a reality.
