17 Dad Jokes For, And About Elon Musk

There comes a moment when a dad looks into his kid’s eyes and suddenly feels … an overwhelming desire to make bad puns. Yes, dad jokes are a proud tradition for most dads — even billionaire entrepreneurs like Elon Musk.

But sadly, while Mr. Musk admitted to making dad jokes, he left the Twitter world in complete darkness as to what they might be. Are they the standard, what-do-clouds-wear-under-their-clothes-type jokes? (Thunderpants, BTW.) Or are they something more disruptive and innovative?

For right now, all the world can do is speculate — kind of like people already do about most Musk projects. (How exactly will an anti-traffic tunnel be different than a subway?)
