Elon Musk Takes April Fools’ Day Pranks To A New Level With Tesla Bankruptcy

Elon Musk knows how to take the advantage of every moment. After Tesla’s worst month in last seven years, Musk was seen joking about the bankruptcy of Tesla on Twitter. He posted a series of tweets in support of this. Known for converting his words into action, Elon would have threatened the investors of Tesla.

He made his fans curious by posting a tweet reading ‘Important news in a few hours’

Important news in a few hours …

The first tweet that revealed about the bankrupcy of Tesla was very proffessional looking and must have made a lot of audience believe Musk.

Tesla Goes Bankrupt
Palo Alto, California, April 1, 2018 — Despite intense efforts to raise money, including a last-ditch mass sale of Easter Eggs, we are sad to report that Tesla has gone completely and totally bankrupt. So bankrupt, you can't believe it.

— Elon Musk (@elonmusk) April 1, 2018


The prank didn’t ended here, he followed this with other tweets:

There are many chapters of bankruptcy and, as critics so rightly pointed out, Tesla has them *all*, including Chapter 14 and a half (the worst one).

— Elon Musk (@elonmusk) April 1, 2018

Another tweet included a photo of Elon with a message that he “was found passed out against a Tesla Model 3, surrounded by ‘Teslaquilla’ bottles, the tracks of dried tears still visible on his cheeks.”

Elon was found passed out against a Tesla Model 3, surrounded by "Teslaquilla" bottles, the tracks of dried tears still visible on his cheeks.

This is not a forward-looking statement, because, obviously, what's the point?

Happy New Month! pic.twitter.com/YcouvFz6Y1

— Elon Musk (@elonmusk) April 1, 2018

Twitter users took this as a chance to connect with Tesla and some of them replied with interesting tweets:

Please release good news Tomorrow.

I got some tesla stock. Please release good news Tomorrow. My shares are hurting lol.

— MLGJeanmarc (@MLGJeanmarc) April 1, 2018


How about a joint venture

We agree. How ‘bout a joint venture @elonmusk ? Nosotros Teslaquilla?

— Nosotros Tequila (@NosotrosTequila) April 2, 2018

Amazing isn’t it? Well, Musk knows how to keep his followers interested in Tesla and his future plans. Note that Tesla’s stock rates fell drastically by 22% in March 2018, which is the biggest monthly drop for the company since December 2010.
