"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.

Get the Elon Musk mug.An irrational attachment to Elon Musk, believing that the South African trust fund baby is some kind of super-genius, a sort of real-life Tony Stark, even though he didn't invent any element of SpaceX's rockets - he merely bought the company - nor did he invent any part of Tesla Motors' electric cars - he merely bought the company - nor did he create x.com - he merely bought Twitter, the most successful and popular site online, and turned it into a foul pit of bigotry.
Now that Elon is destroying one Federal agency after another with authority handed to him by donald trump, he is being credited with "ending waste" and thereby "saving billions", when he has merely shut down important functions of one of the world's great powers and cut their operations out of the Federal budget - and usually only reducing Federal outlays by a few million.

"Jimmy thinks Elon is some kind of 'Great Man' because he 'restored free speech' on x.com. My x account was deleted for referring to MYSELF as 'cis'. Some haven of free speech! Jimmy is totally suffering from Elon Derangement Syndrome."
