"Elon's Razor" is a reference to both Occam's Razor and an internet celebrity and noted meme enjoyer, Elon Musk. Like Occam's Razor, Elon's Razor attempts to "boil down" or simplify the complex nature of meme culture to state that the presence of comedy or relatable themes in a meme usually mean that the meme has struck at the heart of the matter, and is therefore more honest or truthy in effect.
This idea descends from several concepts of "painful truths" being present in comedy, and from online forum and image-board culture, as well as a tweet from Elon himself tweets on Nov 19th 2022 wherein he states: "the most entertaining outcome is the most likely." Referencing Occam's Razor.
Particularly it draws inspiration from the popular 4chan meme: "The Left Can't Meme", which lambasts the position of left leaning memes, that are often displays of right think, or virtue signalling, or in effect, propaganda. Particularly, propaganda that is to be accepted, instead of funny, relatable or novel, which are the main drivers in the sharing of memes.
Man A.) Let me share this meme with you...
*Laughter*
Man B.) Man that's funny but I wouldn't say that in mixed company, it's way too controversial.
Man A.) Shyeeit that's Elon's Razor my friend. The funnier the meme, the more truth is in it.

Never attribute to a conspiracy what could be attributed to inefficient bureaucracy. Conspiracy theories are generally fueled by people trying to make sense of the unexplained. People who have not been a part of really large organizations overestimate the level of internal coordination that actually happens. Generally, they are too slow moving to accmplish big complex things quickly and quietly. This mostly applies to "Enemy Above" type conspiracies. In short, the government or other large organizations is rarely competent enough to pull of a large conspiracy, and almost definitely could not keep it a secret - it probably just moves slow.
Related to Hanlon's razor (Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity), but more focused on whether conspiracy theories are true. It was penned by Jamie Wallace (@jamiemw) in 2023 to after 20+ years of working in large organizations.
Wallace's Razor would explain why Pearl Harbor happened, the bureaucracy of the Navy prevented signals intel from getting to the right sources in time, it wasn't that FDR just wanted an excuse for war.
Occamom's razor
1st def: Not a "problem-solving" principle that, when Wife/Mom presented with competing hypothetical answers to a problem, The Wife/Mom will select the one situation that makes the most assumptions, and will always cause collateral anxiety and illogical responses for everyone except the Mom/Wife.
2nd def: The most complex reaction to a simple situation... is what it is ...period
Background : Our kids and I , have a wonderful Wife/Mom, We are so fortunate ....But, all three of us get a kick out of the least likely situation to be the one that never (statistically ) ever happens .
I welcome any help on articulating this better :) Im sure everyone has experienced this.. thank you for your consideration
Using Occamom's razor,: My Wife when asked if our 12 and 13 year old daughters could walk around the block of our extremely safe neighborhood . She said no thinking that they would get get kidnapped by a suspicious white van she saw the last week .
