UPDATE: Elon Musk Shipped to Notorious El Salvador Prison by ICE, Head Shaved, Now Incommunicado — Trump Says, “Terrible Mistake, But What Can You Do?”

March 29, 2025 — San Salvador / Washington D.C. / Literal Prison of Innovation

In what can only be described as a dystopian tech-fueled fever dream crossed with a bureaucratic acid trip, billionaire Elon Musk has now officially vanished into the bowels of El Salvador’s most notorious maximum-security prison, following his mistaken deportation by U.S. immigration authorities.

After being stripped of his devices, shaved bald, and fitted with a standard-issue prison jumpsuit Musk has not been seen or heard from in days.

Prison authorities confirm he is being held incommunicado, with access to neither Wi-Fi, satellites, nor Grimes.

“We placed him in Cell Block X,” said prison warden Rafael López, “because he kept shouting something about X being the center of the universe and/or Twitter. He’s quiet now. Stares at the wall. Sometimes tries to draw Tesla blueprints with a spoon.”

Trump Responds: “Very Sad. But the System Is the System.”

President Donald J. Trump, under whose administration the ICE error technically occurred, expressed regret—but also a distinct lack of action.

“Look, Elon is a terrific guy. Rich. Weird. Tremendous ideas. Love the rocket stuff. Love the memes,” Trump said from Mar-a-Lago’s all-you-can-eat shrimp buffet.
“But he got deported. Mistakenly, sure. But that’s what happens when you make your name sound foreign.”

When pressed on whether he would order Musk’s release, Trump shrugged:

“It’s a terrible mistake. A real shame. But there’s nothing to be done. That’s just how government works—when it works at all. Honestly, he should’ve launched himself to Mars when he had the chance.”

He added, “On the bright side, we finally got tough on tech billionaires. People say I don’t deliver. Well, how’s life imprisonment in a foreign prison for delivery?”

The Tech World Is Spiraling

Panic has spread across Silicon Valley, where companies are reportedly drafting contingency plans in case their CEOs are suddenly deported for “talking weird.”

Apple issued a statement:

“Tim Cook is American-born. Please don’t take him.”

Mark Zuckerberg posted a grainy selfie captioned “Am human. Am citizen. No take pls.”

Final Thought: The Billionaire Who Forgot to Have Paperwork

As Musk’s future fades into the florescent-lit gray of maximum-security lockdown, the world is left to ask: how does the richest man on Earth—owner of satellites, rockets, and whatever X is now—get deported like a tourist with a fake passport and just stay there?

The answer, apparently, is: “because someone checked the wrong box.”

“It’s all very ironic,” said ICE agent Chad Henderson. “He kept tweeting about border security. Now he is border security. Kind of poetic, honestly.”

As of now, there are no plans to extract Elon Musk from prison.

He is expected to spend the rest of his life in Cell X.

America, you’ve done it again.
