Twitter banter between Malala and Elon Musk is winning the internet

Twitterati are praising renowned Pakistani educational activist and Nobel laureate Malala Yousafzai over her epic reply to Tesla CEO Elon Musk.

It all began when a satirical website called Clickhole published a piece with the headline “More Bad Press For Elon: The Car Elon Musk Launched Into Orbit Has Fallen Back Down To Earth And Crushed Malala Yousafzai”, along with the link on Twitter.

The story, explains how Musk's Tesla car fell from the sky and “crushed Malala to death”, saying “the successful launch of [Elon Musk's] car into orbit... will be forever linked to the tragic and untimely death of the 20-year-old activist who has inspired millions around the globe with her amazing advocacy for peace and education,” according to TeenVogue.

Undeterred, Malala wrote on her Twitter handle, “Hello from the other side @elonmusk”

Musk, who tweeted on the story earlier on Wednesday, replied to her, “Hi @Malala!”.

Malala then gave Musk an epic reply, “I'm keeping the car btw!”

Malala's brother Khushal Yousafzai, while reading the conversation tweeted, “You are too funnyyy sometimes”

To this, Malala once again gave an epic reply, tweeting a gif of a girl with “OBVIOUSLY” written below.

It may be noted that Malala visited Pakistan earlier in March, after spending about six years in the United Kingdom. It was Malala's first trip since she survived an assassination attempt by Taliban militants while returning from school in her native place, Swat Valley in 2012.

During her four-day stay in Pakistan, Malala visited her native place and interacted with top Pakistani officials, including now-outgoing Prime Minister Shahid Khaqan Abbasi.
