The postscript to Elon Musk boasting that the Tesla Cybertruck could stop an arrow was even funnier
When Elon Musk got his good friend Joe Rogan to fire an arrow at a Tesla Cybertruck, Twitter must have thought that this man is the gift that keeps on giving.
His follow-up comment was the cherry on the icing of the cake – if the cherry were a billionaire tech ‘genius’ telling us he’s never watched Blade Runner without telling us he’s never watched Blade Runner.
Once again, the internet stepped up with some hilarious takedowns.

Just seen the new John Lewis ad, Santa is flying through the sky in a panic as Rick Bladerunner flies after him firing arrows. His sleigh is not designed to withstand primitive weaponry and crashes. Rick laughs & smokes a cigar while a sleighbell version of My humps plays.

Remember that time in Bladerunner when Bladerunner was going all like BLAM BLAM with his gun at the replicons and the replicone was like NO WAY Bladerunner I have seen the fire over the galactic dump or whatever?
Man, that Bladerunner is one bad azz Bladerunner!

‘I've seen things you people wouldn't believe…Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion…I watched Joe Rogan firing arrows at Dave BladeRunner’s Cybertruck. All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain. Time to die.’ pic.twitter.com/aUc7RgY4IL

Sorry but I cannot let this slide.
It’s Blade Runner, and that’s not his name. Unforgivable. https://t.co/Damyq3oCns

Why would Bladerunner drive a car? His whole thing is that he runs ultra-fast on his blades. https://t.co/FUGwlcKGFu

If you’re ever feeling like you aren’t good enough just remember the guy who everyone calls a genius thinks Blade Runner is about a guy named Bladerunner https://t.co/IuB2Hl2ok1

We’ll just leave this here.
…does he know what happens to the tech billionaire who designs autonomous, self aware slaves in that movie? Just curious. https://t.co/a8AhrI69F3
