Elon Musk Throws Off Would-be Assassin By Jumping Up And Down

At a Trump rally this weekend, Elon Musk deployed his new anti-assassination technique: jumping up and down really fast.

Former president, Donald Trump returned to Butler, Pennsylvania twelve weeks after the failed assassination attempt on his life. During his speech, Trump invited Elon Musk onto the stage to speak. The billionaire proceeded to jump up and down in what initially appeared to be an impromptu performance of ‘the YMCA’ but was actually a defensive technique against a potential assassination attempt.

“He’s been practicing for months,” explained former Olympic high jumper and Musk’s personal trainer, Robyn Bobbin, “When Elon heard the rally was coming up, he said he wanted to be able to dodge bullets and I told him, when you’re ready, you won’t have to.”

“It’s the same technique I use at the Olympics or at the dentist and to this day I’ve not been shot more than twice,” Ms. Bobbin continued. “The principle is very simple, by jumping up and down you create a moving target, that’s number one. Number two is you’re confusing the shooter because they’re looking at you going, ‘what the hell are they doing?’ and you can’t fire a gun when you’re confused.”

By all accounts, the technique was successful with no incidents at the event. As amateur historian, Derbert Monfreese, explained, “Had Abraham Lincoln jumped up and down, maybe he’d still be with us today.”

After tuckering himself out from jumping, Musk proceeded with his speech. “Hi everyone. As you can see, I’m not just MAGA, I’m ‘dark MAGA’,” Musk said, referencing both his black ‘Make America Great Again’ hat and the ‘dark MAGA’ meme. You see, whereas MAGA hats are normally red, Musk’s hat was black, or ‘dark’, like the meme. Ordinarily, if you have to explain the joke, it’s not funny, however, this is not true with the elevated humor of Elon Musk.

Unable to ‘block’ the ‘X’ owner ‘IRL’, rallygoers and Trump listened to Musk’s expression of free speech as he proceeded to recount the gruesome details of the failed Trump assassination (exciting) before lecturing about the importance of registering to vote (boring). Once concluded, Musk bunny-hopped off stage.

Reportedly the United States military has contacted Musk about the possibility of deploying his patented ‘jumping’ technique in the field. However, it remains to be seen whether Trump himself will apply Musk’s move at future public appearances or just stick to his signature ‘fist dance’ to bamboozle any potential assassins.
