When you think so outside of the box people think you're crazy, but your idea ends up being way better than anyone thought.
Inspires people to come up with ideas to fix problems we didn't know we had.

Bro 1: "Bro, what if we made rockets that landed themselves upright after their flight, and dug tunnels under Los Angeles so we don't have to deal with traffic?"
Bro 2: "Bro that's crazy....so crazy it might just work."
Bro 1: "Thanks bro, I knew I could inspire you to think like a billionaire toddler. I call that shit the Elon Musk Effect!"

1) The name of the effect where someone has an idea for a product that is so outside the box, no one thinks it will work, but it works way better than people thought it would.
2) (On Twitter) When Elon Musk links something or references a website, his followers (eg, the musketeers), will immediately click the link, overwhelming the site's servers and acting as a DDOS, meaning only the first several people to click the link will see the page, and the rest will have to wait for the site to die down.

The biggest Bratan in the Universe. 6,022*10^23 times bigger and better than anything you will ever achieve. Let that sink in for a moment. For reference, that number looks like this: 602200000000000000000000, with this many zeros (23). That would be like comparing the biggest Bratan in the observable Universe to 6,022*10^23 Toyota Corollas.

"Elon's Razor" is a reference to both Occam's Razor and an internet celebrity and noted meme enjoyer, Elon Musk. Like Occam's Razor, Elon's Razor attempts to "boil down" or simplify the complex nature of meme culture to state that the presence of comedy or relatable themes in a meme usually mean that the meme has struck at the heart of the matter, and is therefore more honest or truthy in effect.
This idea descends from several concepts of "painful truths" being present in comedy, and from online forum and image-board culture, as well as a tweet from Elon himself tweets on Nov 19th 2022 wherein he states: "the most entertaining outcome is the most likely." Referencing Occam's Razor.
Particularly it draws inspiration from the popular 4chan meme: "The Left Can't Meme", which lambasts the position of left leaning memes, that are often displays of right think, or virtue signalling, or in effect, propaganda. Particularly, propaganda that is to be accepted, instead of funny, relatable or novel, which are the main drivers in the sharing of memes.

Man A.) Let me share this meme with you...
*Laughter*
Man B.) Man that's funny but I wouldn't say that in mixed company, it's way too controversial.
Man A.) Shyeeit that's Elon's Razor my friend. The funnier the meme, the more truth is in it.
