Horror author Stephen King accidentally kicked off a dad joke competition on X, starting with Elon Musk.
Is there anything more eye-rollingly entertaining than the hilariously unfunny “dad” joke? The kind that you are violently embarrassed of as a teenager, but find yourself using later in life? King posted one to X, issuing what amounted to a challenge to the platform’s CEO Elon Musk.
The Italian chef died. You could say he pasta-way.
Can Elon tell jokes like that?
I’m thinking no.— Stephen King (@StephenKing) July 25, 2024
“The Italian chef died. You could say he pasta-way. Can Elon tell jokes like that? I’m thinking no,” King tweeted.
Musk came back with some hilarious zingers of his own.
What do you call a Great Dane eating a small piece of ham in a little village?
Hamlet eating hamlet in a hamlet.

The lumberjack loved his new computer. He especially enjoyed logging in.
