the principle that the best method of surviving a horrific situation is to simply leave, posited by Eddie Murphy in his long-form standup comedy film Delirious; "it's very simple; if there's a ghost in the house, get the f**k out the house"
in Eden Lake, when faced with a bunch of abusive ASBO kids with a Rottweiler, Fassbender should simply have employed Murphy's Razor and gone to a Holiday inn instead of camping in the forest.

Get the Murphy's Razor mug."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's Razor mug.A simple problem requires multiple complicated solutions to be discussed at length. This usually takes place while people are saying their goodbyes in an inconvenient location.

Get the Connolly's Razor mug."Stan was already having a bad day. His partner had left him, he was laid off from work, and his cat had run away. In spite of this, Stan decided he would enjoy some barefoot running ( a farvorite pastime). Forgetting Neuwirth's Razor. Stan forgot to check his surroundings before leaving his apartment, and stepped on a freshly deposited cat dropping. "
