Billionaire Space Race Hits a Bump: Elon Musk’s Neuralink Accidentally Tweets ‘is bluesky down’ During Rocket Launch

In a bizarre twist that has sent the internet into a frantic loop, users across platforms witnessed Elon Musk’s official Neuralink account—which famously broadcasts the thoughts of a pig named Gertrude—mysteriously post the frantic query “is bluesky down” during the live broadcast of a Starship launch.

The post, which remained live for a full four seconds before being deleted, coincided with a global surge in traffic to the decentralized social platform Bluesky (which competes with Musk’s X/Twitter). The result? A classic internet paradox: So many people flocked to Bluesky to confirm if it was down that they briefly crashed the servers by asking if it was down.

“It’s the digital equivalent of calling your friend to ask if your phone is broken,” said Dr. Helena Meme, a leading internet archaeologist. “The irony is so thick you could spread it on a Tesla Cybertruck.”

The incident has spawned two trending hashtags: #GertrudeDidIt (blaming the pig) and #BlueskyIsDownButNotActually (a meta-meme for the ages). Meanwhile, Bluesky’s official support account remains on vacation mode, with the auto-reply: “We aren’t down, but you are. And that’s okay.”

In a final, delicious layer of irony, the only platform that did stay fully operational during the chaos? Parler. Nobody was there to test it.
