While Facebook and Instagram scrambled to recover from a Tuesday evening outage, Elon Musk took a playful jab at their parent company, Meta.

Following Meta spokesperson Andy Stone's announcement that they were working on a resolution, Musk tweeted a meme. The image depicts a meme from the animated series The Penguins of Madagascar showing three penguins labeled as Facebook, Instagram and Threads saluting the main penguins who is representing Twitter, alongside Stone's announcement.

This image is a humorous take on the situation, implying that Musk sees himself as the savior of social media, while Meta is the one experiencing problems. It capitalizes on the social media outage and Stone's announcement to playfully position Musk as the more competent figure.

This incident highlights the ongoing rivalry between Musk, the outspoken CEO of Tesla and Twitter, and Meta, the social media giant. The outage provided Musk with an opportunity to poke fun at their struggles, likely to the amusement of many Twitter users.
