‘We are so back!’ Elon Musk ignites X with hilarious Trump meme

September 26, 2025 | | Print Article

Elon Musk had a little fun with the long-overdue indictment of disgraced former FBI Director James Comey, who was charged with giving false statements and obstruction of a congressional proceeding after allegedly lying to a Senate committee in 2020 about whether he authorized a leak of classified information to the media.

Responding to a meme featuring President Donald J. Trump rearranging seashells to spell out “FAFO,” Musk replied: “Cool shell formation found on beach walk.”

“FAFO” stands for the phrase, F*ck around, find out,” and the seashell meme is a play on a seemingly tacit threat directed at Trump — back in May, Comey shared a picture on Instagram of seashells on a beach arranged into the numbers “8647.”

(86 is a slang term that means “get rid of,” or “kill,” and Trump is the 47th president of the United States.)

“Cool shell formation on my beach walk,” the caption of Comey’s post read.

The weasel deleted the post after the predictable outcry, claiming he didn’t associate it with violence.

“I didn’t realize some folks associate those numbers with violence,” Comey wrote on Instagram. “It never occurred to me but I oppose violence of any kind so I took the post down.”

Here’s a quick sampling of responses to the story, as seen on X:
