We are no stranger to the fact that Tesla and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk is a bit of a geek. However, he also has a decent sense of humour and is known for pulling pranks.
Keeping his funny side aside, Musk is one such person whom you would not want to mess with. Remember the time when people challenged him to delete his Facebook pages and he took them off immediately? Of course, you do.
This brings us to today’s story where Elon Musk put a homophobic troll to his place.
Elon Musk’s Tesla team came together to celebrate the LGBT ‘Pride Month’ which stands for sexual diversity. The team expressed their support towards the LGBT community by uploading the pictures from the event on Twitter.

A homophobic troll, who was clearly not happy with the brand’s actions, took to the micro-blogging site and stated that Tesla should stick to their business of selling products instead of promoting ‘alternative lifestyles’.
Elon Musk was quick to note his comment and give him the answer he needed. Musk stated that the brand is proud to have collected full marks in the corporate equality index for four years in a row. He went on to ask the person to not buy their cars if he has a problem with that. Savage!
Then you will really hate that Tesla scored 100/100 four years in a row on LGBTQ equality https://t.co/AzwWIhpyLW

Don’t buy our car if that’s a problem. People should be free to live their lives where their heart takes them ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜🖤💖🌈

This is exactly how you deal with trolls. Every individual has the right to live their life on their own terms and we should do nothing but respect that. We love you Elon Musk! <3
