Elon Musk, Twitter CEO, known for his instinctual tweets, has come up with a new question. The Tesla CEO has been posting memes and conducting polls on Twitter for long and this time, he posed the question, “Wait, if I Tweet does that count as work?”

By Shubhi Mishra: Since taking over Twitter, Elon Musk has always been in the news. Be it because of mass layoffs, major changes in the organizational structure and workings of the social media giant, the Tesla chief has done it all. The billionaire himself is quite active on Twitter, obviously, with his tweets going viral in no time and garnering attention. And even Uttar Pradesh Police replied to one of his tweets. Needless to say, the post went viral.

 

While replies poured in the comments section, it was Uttar Pradesh Police who grabbed the attention of Indian internet users. In a quirky reply, the police force wrote, “Wait, if @uppolice solves your problems over a Tweet, does that count as work?”

Taking to Twitter, the law enforcement agency shared the screenshot of the exchange and triggered laughter online. Some users also came up with funny reactions. A user commented, “Wait, If @Uppolice does not solve the problem over a Tweet, then that counts as not working.” Another user wrote, “On some of the tweets UP Police takes cognizance and sometimes takes necessary action too.” A third user wrote, “Services of UP Police is now beyond limits.”

Since the takeover of Twitter, the SpaceX CEO has been in the spotlight with a slew of tweets and memes. Amid reports of mass resignation of Twitter employees, Musk posted a popular meme of a man posing in front of a tombstone. Twitter logo was seen on the man’s face while he showed victory sign in front of the tombstone. Photographs and videos showing Twitter’s San Francisco headquarters being reportedly projected with various messages attacking Musk also surfaced.

New Delhi:  Elon Musk remains in the headlines for witty tweets and replies on his microblogging site Twitter. But sometimes other Twitter users outwit the Twitter owner with their replies. This time UP Police took on the microblogging site to reply to Tesla CEO's post, and it went viral on social media.

Elon Musk on Twitter wrote "Wait, if I Tweet does that count as work?" to which the UP Police replied " Wait, if @uppolice solves your problem over a tweet, does that count as work?" Sharing the screengrab of its own reply under Musk's Tweet UP, police itself said that the solving problem on Twitter is counted as work.

UP police's tweet went viral on the social media giant and garnered thousands of likes and hundreds of comments expressing the users' amusement over UP police's reply. "Services of UP Police is now beyond limits," wrote one user,  "beautiful reply by UP police," wrote another.

Quite ironic that a major news outlet failed to do basic diligence and fell for a crisis actor prank, resulting in the spread of misinfo, on the first day of new ownership," Lee tweeted. "All you had to do was ask to see a badge or look for bird-themed stuff in the boxes. Also, we don't use Zoom." Meanwhile, on Wednesday, Musk walked the halls of the Twitter headquarters in San Francisco, carrying the bowl of a sink which garnered massive views over the internet. Musk tweeted a video of himself carrying a kitchen sink and wrote, "let that sink in! "Furthermore, Elon Musk also changed his Twitter profile to read "Chief Twit" shortly after he hinted at going forward with the Twitter acquisition deal. In July, Musk who had long been showing his interest to buy Twitter terminated the deal, claiming that Twitter violated their mutual purchase agreement by misrepresenting the number of spam and fake bot accounts on its platform. After Musk put out the deal termination announcement, the market saw a sharp decline.

Later, Twitter sued Musk accusing him of using bots as a pretext to exit a deal.
