The Elon Musk Botched Penis Implant Rumor refers to a viral rumor that Elon Musk received a botched penile implant that left him impotent. The conspiracy theory spread en masse in early 2025, following discourse about the use of in vitro fertilization (IVF) and surrogate mothers to birth most of his children, alluding to some that Musk was purportedly unable to perform. The speculation then sparked allegations claiming that Musk had a botched penis implant. The rumor was jumpstarted by American rapper and singer-songwriter Azealia Banks who stated on Twitter / X that fellow recording artist Grimes once told her that it was true. Grimes and Musk were romantically involved from 2018 to 2021 and had three children together. Only one of them, Nevada Musk, was naturally born, which fueled speculation online about the theory.

February 26th Slime Ya HB, also known as National Backdoor Day, refers to memes and jokes in which TikTokers joke about getting backstabbed or "slimed" by their friends or "homeboys" on February 26th, 2025. The trend began gaining traction in the week leading up to the date, with TikTokers posting videos jokingly offering tips and tricks for how to deal with people trying to trick you on February 26th.

The Elon Musk and Donald Trump Baki Chapter refers to Chapter 39 of the manga Baki Rahen called "Great, Again!" that featured depictions of Elon Musk and U.S. President Donald Trump (called "Tramp" in the manga). It went viral on Twitter / X, Reddit and other social media sites soon after. The comic adds to a Baki tradition of the character Yujiro Hanma bullying newly elected U.S. presidents with slightly different names to their real-world counterparts, including "Barack Ozma," "George Bosch" and "Bidem." Much of the discourse and meme-posting in mid-February 2025 was about page 19 of the chapter in which Yujiro shouts, "I'll rape the both of you!" at Musk and Trump. Viral memes about Elon Musk getting raped in the new Baki chapter spread online thereafter.
