Elon Musk's accomplishments

Elon Musk has asked all US government employees (except the ones already on gardening leave) to list their accomplishments, or face the sack.

In an unusual act of reciprocity, Elon's office has set out his recent achievements, which are as follows:

  •  I got my dad to lend me million dollars to start a company - how many of you have done that, huh?

  •  I won a chainsaw from Argentina.

  •  I got everyone’s personal data from US government records – useful for the X algorithms

  •  I’m supporting far right parties in Europe, although I can’t remember why

  •  I blew up a number of SpaceX rockets to distract attention away from Jeff Bezos

  •  I’m working to save Twitter, by wrecking TikTok

  •  I will have a successful car company, if I can get tariffs imposed on my Chinese competitors

  •  I’m in good with Donald, which gets me favourable treatment on lots of things

  •  I’m promoting free speech on X, especially mine

Users go wild for new We Want Your Information App

The app released on Google Play yesterday promises to steal every piece of information harvested on your android phone, including a full history of suicide and porn searches. We Want Your Information was developed in China late last year in response to a rival app called We know who you are and what you think. But users complained that this app was cumbersome, requiring more than one key stroke and taking longer than six seconds to steal all of your closest secrets.

We Know Who You Are And What You Think also failed to alert users when a fresh piece of information was stolen. 'It was glitchy,' said one. 'But We Want Your Information is slick. I really feel denuded and naked after downloading it, like the company has a portal to my bank account and greatest fears.' The app, released with the full collusive blessing of governments around the world, not only steals information. It also has a lurk function which users can switch on to be heard in toilets and family arguments.

With rumours of an update arriving soon, users are expressing the hope that We Want Your Information will have a camera option, allowing it to film and upload instantly to any social media site it desires footage of users' most shameful public and home interactions. 'I love that We Want Your Information doesn't ask for permissions. It just accesses whatever the hell it wants.'

But there are opponents of the new app, a minority of naysayers who think that there is an issue surrounding the ethics of choice. They are questioning why We Want Your Information is an optional download at all. 'In 2025 so-called 'individuality' is a relic of the last century, which, as we all know, was a terrible one. We Want Your Information should be mandatory and social points accumulated or docked according to user compliance.' An Apple version with slicker theft aesthetics is expected to follow.

Make it all about TikTok, all the time, say news bosses

'There's a war in Ukraine, a ceasefire in the Middle East which could go either way, and the UK economy - which had been anaemic - is now flat-lining,' said a typewriter-thrower from the Society of Editors, 'but we are telling our journalists to make it all about TikTok, all the sodding time.

'There are parents, me included, who'd dearly like to give TikTok a fatal punch up the bracket for warping our kids' minds,' continued the typewriter chucker. 'But we are doing these minute-by-minute updates wondering what Trump thinks about TikTok, how the guy who runs it is attending his inauguration dinner, and whether this moronic thing in cyberspace with dance moves and episodes of Skibidi Toilet might survive in the US after all.

'We realise that this news story will both mystify and irritate anyone over the age of 55 and make them rather look forward to their deaths.

'But so does all the rest of news we're putting out. There's really no hope for throwbacks like that.'
