Ice Cube Melts Down Elon Musk with a Fiery Meme on X
The rapper and the tech mogul had a heated exchange on the social media platform formerly known as Twitter, after Musk posted a meme that poked fun at Ice Cube’s name and age.
The meme, which Musk shared with his 100 million followers, showed a picture of Ice Cube next to a glass of water, with the caption “Remember Ice Cube? This is him now, feel old yet?” The meme implied that Ice Cube, who is 53 years old, had melted away like an ice cube in water.
Ice Cube, who is known for his rap career and his roles in movies such as Friday and 21 Jump Street, did not take the joke lightly. He responded with a meme of his own, showing the X logo next to a dumpster fire, with the caption “Remember Twitter? This is it now, feel stupid yet?” He also added a link to his song “No Vaseline”, which is a diss track aimed at his former group N.W.A.
The online feud sparked a lot of reactions from other users, who commented on the rap beef between Ice Cube and Elon Musk. Some users supported Ice Cube and praised him for standing up to Musk. Others defended Musk and said that he was just joking and that Ice Cube was overreacting. Some users also made jokes about the situation, such as “Ice Cube vs Elon Musk is the rap beef we didn’t know we needed” or “Elon Musk should have posted a picture of Ice-T instead”.
This is not the first time that Musk has clashed with celebrities on X. He has also had disputes with Mark Zuckerberg, Soulja Boy, Azealia Banks, and others. He has also been criticized for some of the changes he made to the platform since he bought it in 2022, such as charging users for verification badges and renaming it to X.
