Recently, a meme went viral on social media featuring entrepreneur Elon Musk as a Pakistani man in Shalwar Qameez walking in the streets of Pakistan as a poor man and dubbed as “Elon Khan” just because he bought fruits. The current inflation and surging prices of food and necessary items have irked people and many of them want to boycott buying these goods. However, as always, we find our way to carve out joy from such things, and this time, it is one meme making rounds on social media.
In the holy month of Ramadan, it is common for families to have fruit chaat for iftar but spiraling prices have become a challenge for people.
“Elon Musk after buying fruits for Fruit chaat in Pakistan,” several people posted the image with the caption.
The meme went viral on multiple social media platforms including Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp.

While hundreds of people sharing the meme, a user expressed the same sentiment in a different meme. In their joke, Elon Musk lost his limbs, in fact, the entire body, after buying fruits in Pakistan.
