This might be the best thing Elon Musk has done since taking over Twitter — ignoring Jimmy Fallon.
Yesterday, the hashtag #RIPJimmyFallon went viral. The only problem with that, of course, was the Fallon was still alive. (He still is today, so far as I know.)
Fallon, either annoyed by the hashtag or perhaps just playing along, tweeted at Musk, asking for help.
Musk was not quite as helpful as Fallon might have hoped.
Fix what?

About three hours later, Musk tweeted at @CommunityNotes, apparently suggesting that the new pilot program designed to combat misinformation on the platform could help.
Sounds like a job for @CommunityNotes!

I sort of hope they leave it alone, because the tweets — both before Musk’s involvement and after — have made my day so far.
Here are just a few that caught my fancy, either because I found them particularly amusing or because I’m simply floored at the amount of work some people will put into a tweet. (It’s all I can do to remember to proofread mine … and I don’t always do that.) You can go here if you’re interested in seeing more.
