Elon Musk has been circling Twitter like a weird vulture in the last few weeks. After becoming the social media platform’s largest shareholder, he was invited to join the board of directors, which he accepted before tweeting through it over the weekend and then deciding not to join the board after all.

On Thursday, Musk announced that he had decided to make an offer to buy Twitter outright, causing many to wonder what he would do if he were in charge, or whether or not this was just an attempt by a bored billionaire to manipulate the stock price.

Regardless, if Musk did buy Twitter, he would certainly have the ability to make changes, such as deleting unflattering images. That’s perhaps the hope of Tom Brady, who tweeted a request at Musk to remove his infamous combine photo off the platform if he purchased it.

Naturally, this led to someone immediately posting the image in question. And Tom certainly had a good sense of humor about it. At least, we assume this is a joke…

Brady’s tweet certainly garnered a lot of reactions around Twitter, from those who see a flaw in his plan to other who think the photo needs to stay up.

Hopefully, we don’t find ourselves in a position to find out whether or not Musk can make it happen. Elon has certainly said a lot of things over the years that never happened.
