Of Tweets and Thrones: When King Julien Fires Mort

by | Jun 6, 2025

A Kingdom Built on Algorithms and Egos

Once upon a time in the jungle of America’s digital kingdom, two mighty rulers reigned supreme: King Julien of MAGAstan, and his tiny, techie admirer Mort from Teslaland. Their alliance? Unholy, unlikely, and undeniably viral. One had a golden throne built on slogans and side-eyes; the other built rockets, rebranded Twitter, and still somehow had time to livestream himself coding at 3 a.m.

Together, they ruled over memes, markets, and madness. But every jungle has its drama – and this week, Mort got fired. Not from Tesla. Not from X. From King Julien’s royal favor. And the Kingdom? It’s in shambles.

Mort’s Rise: From Meme to Monarch-in-Waiting

For a while, Mort (a.k.a. Elon Musk) played the adorable sidekick. He carried bananas (Starlink satellites), fetched coconut milk (revenue), and kept the kingdom’s algorithms buzzing. He even turned Twitter into “X” – a move only a royal pet could get away with.

But something changed. Mort began to think. He started asking questions. About freedom of speech, about shadow bans, and most recently – about one of King Julien’s policies. The very nerve.

Julien watched in horror as Mort’s little paws reached for the scepter of influence. That wasn’t admiration anymore. That was…ambition. And in royal jungles, ambition smells a lot like betrayal.

The “You’re Fired” Heard Across the Timeline

Like any good reality show plot twist, the King made it public. A statement, a tweet, maybe a grunt from the throne – “You’re fired, Mort.” No ceremony. No jungle drums. Just exile via press release.

Mort blinked twice, calculated stock response probability, and posted a meme about it. But the kingdom knew: this was real. The bromance that launched 10,000 GIFs was over.

The last time King Julien fired someone this publicly, it involved a real boardroom and a hit NBC show. This time, he fired a man who literally owns satellites.

Banana Splits and Billionaire Egos

Of course, this wasn’t about just one disagreement. It was always brewing.

Julien demands loyalty. Mort demands liberty (plus infinite characters per tweet and neural link access). King Julien wants the jungle to chant his name. Mort wants it to run on solar power and Mars maps. They were never that compatible. One ruled with rallies, the other with robots.

Still, watching them split was like seeing a banana sundae hit the floor. The crowd gasped. Reddit erupted. Threads got weirdly poetic. Truth Social just said “sad!”

Thrones, Tweets & Broken Bromances

And so the tale of Julien and Mort joins the ancient scrolls of billionaire fallouts. Right next to the great feuds of Jobs vs. Gates, Zuckerberg vs. Everyone, and Kanye vs. Reality.

The lesson? If you build your empire on algorithms and affection, don’t be surprised when the server crashes. In this jungle, one day you’re holding the remote to X, and the next, you’re just another jungle meme.

Maybe Mort was never meant to kneel. Maybe King Julien should’ve brewed espresso instead of throwing shade. Maybe bromance was never scalable.

Either way, the jungle watches. And laughs.

Brewed Insight

Even digital kingdoms have palace drama. But in the end, the jungle remembers who brought the coffee – and who spilled it.
