A Google keyword search revealed that the meme and caption shared on Facebook originated from a February 8, 2024, Facebook post published by the “SpaceX Fanclub” page . The page includes an intro that reads:
We post SATIRE, nothing on this page is real.
In the comment section, the author of this post linked an Esspots.com article with the exact title of the kohajone.press article — “Breaking: Elon Musk Says “I’d Rather Drink Sewer Water Than See Taylor Swift At The Super Bowl” published by the satirical website Esspots on January 20, 2024.
