The lyrics poke fun at many aspects of the billionaire's vision for “Twitter 2.0” The video begins with Crider clarifying that the creation was “just a joke, literally a parody."

“I slept on the floor, no time for a shower, gone hardcore with my 80 hours,” Crider’s song starts.

“It’s time to get this big blue bird to fly… Working 9 to 9, it’s 2.0 initial. Get you verified, officially official…” 

Other lyrics include I open Slack, it’s just me and some guy,” referring to a mass exodus of employees from the company after some were laid off and some decided to quit due to Musk's tough policies.

“It’s enough to drive everyone to Reddit,” she sings, hinting that people could switch over their social media preferences from Twitter to Reddit while untuning her guitar in the viral video.

Meanwhile, Musk’s “rock solid” relaunch of a key Twitter feature has been postponed indefinitely until the social media site’s team becomes confident about preventing impersonations.
