"This social media app is no more! It has ceased to be! It's expired and gone to meet its maker! This is a late-stage social media app. It's a stiff. Bereft of life, it rests in peace. If you hadn't nailed it to the perch, it would be pushin' up the daisies! It's run down the curtain and joined the choir invisible! This is an X-Twitter!"

I kind of hate when a meme is built from something I already know about because it's impossible to appreciate a mid-tier gag like this when I know the point of the original sketch.

John Cleese, here overlaid with Elon Musk's head, is the protagonist in this sketch. He's the one who's actually being honest about what's going on. Michael Palin, the vendor on the left, is lying about whether or not the bird he sold is dead. That's the joke. That's the point of the sketch. The humor isn't that John Cleese killed the bird, it's that Michael Palin sold him a dead bird.

This meme would make sense if Musk bought an already dead platform, but that's not what happened. Twitter was at its peak when he took the helm. He's actually the one that killed it.

This misses the whole point of the bit.

It's pining for the fjords.

Edit: oh someone beat me to it. That's what I get for deciding to watch the entire sketch before pressing submit. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4vuW6tQ0218

It’s pining for the fjords!

DEAD DOVE DO NOT EAT

This is an ex-social media! It has ceased to be!

it wouldn't go vrooom if you put 40,000 volts up it.

Tin foil hat time!

Elon wanted to kill it, and after successfully killing it he changed the icon to a literal X as in closed, or no as a "subtle" declaration.
