Found the tweet that Joyce Carol Oates bodied Elon Musk with and it's so beautiful in its eloquent, simple take down. So much so he's crashing out trying to prove he reads books now. Put this in the Louvre.

<p>Israel has refused to provide names with the bodies, and there are no DNA testing facilities currently in Gaza.</p>
