A little something for all the developers out there, making our lives easier and melting their eyes in front of screens for hours on end. We salute you.

Hating on stuff that people love is one of the oldest forms of meme-ing, and "The World If" memes are proof that it's still going strong. These memes, which depict a utopian, technologically advanced future, suggest that all would be right in the world if it weren't for that one little thing. While many seasoned memers are tiring of formats like this, it's still a fun way to poke fun at people and the world.

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.

Futurism is a comic that takes sad parts of our technological/societal realities and kinda blows them up to show us some seriously sad future possibilities. For more dystopian drawings, give 'em a follow here.
