Elon Musk finally hosts PewDiePie\u2019s \u2018Meme Review\u2019 in last-ditch effort to fend off T-Series PewDiePie, YouTubeAfter nearly a month of waiting, Tesla CEO Elon Musk has finally hosted YouTube king Felix \u2018PewDiePie\u2019 Kjellberg\u2019s \u2018Meme Review\u2019 show \u2013 with the help of another special guest. PewDiePie uploaded the episode on February 22, where he appeared to fake out fans by insinuating that \u2018Fresh Prince\u2019 actor Will Smith had hosted the segment, instead. However, viewers were not disappointed, as both Musk and Justin Roiland of \u2018Rick and Morty\u2019 fame appeared for a \u2018Bonus Meme\u2019 portion of the show towards the video\u2019s end. [Timestamp: 13:27 for mobile viewers.] A few of the memes reviewed by the duo poked fun at Elon, himself, including a photoshop of his face on rapper Post Malone\u2019s head \u2013 which he took in good humor. Musk even gave viewers a fun factoid about the word \u201cmeme,\u201d noting that its origin stemmed from Richard Dawkins\u2019 1976 book \u2018The Selfish Gene,\u2019 who coined the phrase in relation to a \u201csurvival of the fittest\u201d concept. https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=zpWYQ1YtgnITheir collaboration seems to have helped the YouTuber rise above T-Series, who now sits at over 17,000 subs above the label \u2013 compared to his mere 9,000 sub gap earlier that very same day. Elon showed interest in hosting PewDiePie\u2019s show with a humorous Tweet in late January, where he was pictured holding aloft one of his famed flamethrowers in a show of mock intimidation. While PewDiePie initially expressed some doubt as to the truth of Elon\u2019s statement, it looks like the tech millionaire finally pulled through \u2013 with the help of Rick and Morty\u2019s voice actor.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
