Elon Musk uses all opportunities to mock everything and everybody he sets his eyes on. Most recently he makes fun of the big tech companies, for changing the logo in the rainbow colors during June, the pride month. The logos on the meme include Twitter, the logo of a company he is trying to buy for $44 billion.
On the 31st of May, he posts a meme where a tornado of ‘corporate LGBT pride logos’ is shown approaching a scared man. Accompanying the meme are the words ‘June is almost there’.
Elon Musk Makes Fun Of Companies For Changing Logo Colors During Pride Month
Musk is criticizing the social media for quite some time now. He mocks the platform’s politics, censuring policies, lawyer’s team, etc. Now, he appears to mock them for rubbing it in our face for their support of the LGBT community.
Today, the 1st of June, marks the first day of Pride Month. Many companies worldwide tend to put rainbows next to their official logos as a sign of support for the LGBT community. This grows to be a tradition now since not a year passes without the internet marking the Pride Month with rainbows ‘all over the place’.
Whilst this is growing into a tradition, another tradition for generating mockery around it is on the rise as well. Many companies and individuals are putting the rainbow as a sign of their support for the gay population. However, there are many that do so only to gain some popularity while they are deeply not supportive at all.
Imagine the two-facedness. Many Automotive giants change their logos to rainbow signs all over the world except in the Middle East. The world widely accepts gay rights and shows support for them. However, the Middle East has a limitation on the matter. Mercedes Benz, BMW, and Volkswagen are just some examples of companies that did this. The Middle East is a major market for many car manufacturers, so they do not want to risk this by simply waving rainbow flags there.
What is this if not hypocrisy? If you support LGBT rights, you support them everywhere. What difference does it make for you if someone is gay in the USA, or UK, and in the Middle East?
Other companies have had similar situations in the past as well. Google, YouTube, Microsoft as well as Proctor are changing logos for the pride month in accordance with the region. Somewhere logos are changed on the 1st of June, and somewhere not at all.
So Elon might have a point here for mocking the giants. Finally, fans see his post as something that is not against the LGBT community but against the duplicity of the companies.
