Warren Buffett Did NOT Buy Tesla for $1 Trillion

In a comical twist, GoBankingRates released a satirical article claiming that the legendary investor Warren Buffett had purchased Tesla from Elon Musk for a staggering $1 trillion. The piece humorously portrayed Buffett confessing his secret love for tech while driving a Cybertruck.

In reality, while Musk has suggested Buffett should invest in Tesla, the Berkshire Hathaway CEO has shown no interest in competing in the tech sphere. At the latest Berkshire Hathaway annual meeting, Buffett praised Musk but clarified, “We don’t want to compete with Elon in many things.” It’s plain to see that this was an elaborate April Fools' joke!

Tiger Woods Is NOT Playing in the Masters

Golfing icon Tiger Woods teased fans with a social media post suggesting he would be competing in the Masters Tournament shortly after healing from a left Achilles injury. Unfortunately for fans, Woods candidly confirmed that he wouldn't be hitting the greens anytime soon, as he is physically unable to return to competition until at least 2026. The only event on his calendar is the Champions Dinner at Augusta—revealing later, “April Fools! My Achilles is still a mess.”

No, DOGE Is Not Sending $1 Million Checks to Republicans

In a playful jab at government inefficiency, GoBankingRates also declared the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) would distribute $1 million stimulus checks to all Republicans. Of course, this was a jest. Despite claims of astronomic savings claimed by DOGE, a deeper analysis has indicated only a fraction of those savings is supported by evidence. Experts predict it is highly unlikely that any checks will be issued to Americans from these supposed savings anytime soon.

New Jersey’s ‘Mount Jonas’ Was a Prank Too

New Jersey’s official Instagram account joined the fun with a post stating plans to build ‘Mount Jonas,’ a lookalike of Mount Rushmore featuring the beloved Jonas Brothers. While the state officials might not have been quite serious about the monument, the social media stunt definitely caught the attention of fans and locals alike.

Musk Is NOT Giving Teslas to Congress Members

In another far-fetched claim, a report stated that Elon Musk was donating $43,000 Tesla vehicles to every member of Congress. In actuality, Musk is facing backlash from some public figures who are distancing themselves from his recent political controversies. Arizona Senator Mark Kelly, for example, has refused to support the Tesla CEO, showing that these gifts are strictly fictional.

NYC's Imaginary 1 MPH Walking Speed Limit

In a laughable announcement, New York City’s government Instagram shared that a new 1 mph walking speed limit would be enforced throughout the city. The creative twist suggested it would improve mental wellbeing and decrease collisions, showcasing the city’s signature humor.

Duolingo's Nonexistent 5-Year Cruise

Duolingo, known for its language learning app, provoked amusement with a faux advertisement about a 5-year cruise around the world with the app's mascot, Duo, as captain. While hilarious, the plan was pure fiction, but it certainly got people talking!

Yahoo’s Touch Grass Keyboard – Gag or Reality?

Finally, Yahoo introduced a playful gag product, the Touch Grass Keyboard, designed to poke fun at individuals who are “chronically online.” This novelty item made waves but actually exists as a tongue-in-cheek product available on Yahoo’s TikTok shop.
