Elon Musk Shares Bizarre Bee Memes, Other Odd Postings In Latest Social Media Stunt

Billionaire tech entrepreneur Elon Musk on Sunday shared curious bee-themed memes on Twitter, confusing his followers. It remains unclear what message Musk was seeking to convey.

Musk, who is known for his eccentric habits, seemed to be teasing the letter "B" to his 27.7 million Twitter followers. He referenced the Teletubbies, a British children's television series, as well as Queen Elizabeth, as a "queen bee," with bumblebee emojis.

The Tesla CEO had eight Twitter postings in the early hours of Sunday. Two of them involved the classic Hollywood dance duo of Ginger Rogers and Fred Astaire.

More confounding was a post that read: "His name is Eric, of course," which received over 38,000 likes.

But to Musk's credit, he appeared to be aware of the ambiguity of his tweets.

Musk has landed in trouble with his Twitter feed in the past. He famously announced that he would take Tesla private at $420 a share, which drew him into a legal conflict with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).

Some analysts have criticized Musk's eccentric social media presence. "It's all based around this rabid Elon Musk fan base, once that fan base starts to see that person they’ve been worshipping, they will turn on you on a dime," outspoken hedge fund manager Matt Spiegel said.

Another major public figure, Donald Trump, also frequently uses Twitter and the attempts by some to draw comparisons between the two have angered Musk.

Musk, 48, is the CEO and founder of luxury electric vehicle company Tesla, the space exploration firm SpaceX, and Tunnel Construction company The Boring Company.
