Billionaire Elon Musk, with a staggering net worth of USD 334.3 billion, recently tickled netizens with a playful jab at himself, dubbing himself “Irony Man.” Sharing an image of him in an Iron Man suit, Musk joked about using the “power of irony” to vanquish villains. His witty post also poked fun at superhero rivalries, as he mockingly added, “Oh, you call yourself ‘The Joker’? Then why can’t you tell a joke! How ironic.” In response to a fan’s observation that Iron Man belongs to Marvel while The Joker is a DC character, Musk quipped, “Oh no, not more irony!”
