As a dedicated follower of both Elon Musk and Rick and Morty, I find myself intrigued by Elon’s recent decision to unfollow the latter on X. Being a space enthusiast myself, I’ve admired Musk’s groundbreaking achievements in the realm of technology and space exploration. On the other hand, Rick and Morty has been a source of endless laughter and mind-bending science fiction for me.

The recent move by Elon Musk to stop following Rick and Morty on X (previously Twitter) has ignited a flurry of conjecture among fans and the press.

Elon Musk, known for his past involvement in Rick and Morty, has stopped following the show’s official account on X. This action appears to be linked to his backing of Justin Roiland, a co-creator of the series who was recently let go due to severe domestic violence accusations. Musk openly advocated for Roiland, describing him as “the soul of the show” when the scandal broke out.

Rick and Morty co-creator, Roiland, previously enjoyed a tight bond with entrepreneur Musk and even offered guidance during Musk’s purchase of Twitter.
