There has been an image of a Tweet exchange between Elon Musk and Donald Trump going around the internet and we need to inform you that it is 100% fake. Elon Musk has manners and this is what he really said.
Fake news is a constant topic here at Good Things Guy and recently we saw an image circulating the internet about an exchange between Donald Trump and Elon Musk. From the second we saw the picture we took a guess that it was fake but went and looked it up online anyway to be sure.
Our guess was confirmed when we saw the real response from Elon. It was polite and well worded. You can see the real tweet below. If you have seen the fake tweet, you will know that everyone wishes that really was his response.

Real Tweet:
Thank you on behalf of SpaceX. An exciting future lies ahead!

Now things might seem anticlimactic but don’t fear! While Elon didn’t insult the American President himself, many people took Donald Trump’s tweet and gave him an education about where exactly Elon Musk was born. Here is a clue… It’s a total Sh*thole!
But wait isn’t Elon Musk from a “shithole country”? Are you confused because of the melanin?

Like so many great American innovators, @elonmusk is a first generation immigrant. Happens to be an immigrant from Africa. Welcoming immigrants from Africa and elsewhere continues to serve America well.

Ironic that @realDonaldTrump seeks to close US borders to Africans when he's just praised @elonmusk, who is an immigrant from South Africa.

Thank you for setting the record straight. It was sooo cringe to see that. Elon Musk has a brain! So his rebuff would have been much more eloquent and clever.
