It is April fools day, and although many people like to shoot their loved ones in recent years, the celebration has intensified to involve brands that join canuline – and even some media.
To keep you in the loop on what is real and what is not, Yahoo News breaks down some of the new viral pranks that government publications, social accounts and celebrities have done.
Berkshire Hathaway of Warren Buffett did not buy Tesla d’Elon Musk for 1 Billion of Dollars in cash, as reported by GoBankingrates in a self-written “satirical” article published for the day of April Fools.
The point of sale joked by saying that Buffett told investors: “Although I publicly support that I do not understand technological companies, I secretly led a cybertruck to my Nebraska district at night.”
In reality, while Musk publicly recommended to invest Buffett in Tesla, Buffett does not seem interested in the company. During the annual meeting of Berkshire Hathaway in 2023, Buffett described Musk as “brilliant and brilliant guy”, but added: “We do not want to compete with Elon in many things”.
The late Charlie Munger, the former right man of Buffett and the vice-president of Berkshire Hathaway, added at the time: “We do not want much failure.”
Tiger Woods, a big golf champion, fifteen times, shared in an article on X this morning: “A few weeks after having broken my left Achilles, sleep in a hyperbaric room and the explosive elevators that my doctors and coaches have ready to play the masters next week! I can’t wait! Go to the course. “
Woods cannot physically play professional golf course before 2026 at the earliest. Golfweek said that the only event that Woods has planned for next week is the champions dinner in Augusta National.
Later, Woods wrote: “PS April Fools My Achille is always a mess.”
The Ministry of Government Effectiveness (DOGE) does not distribute recovery checks of $ 1 million to each Republican in the United States, while GoBankingrates joked in another April article.
DOGE does not send recovery checks, whatever their political affiliation. However, Musk and President Trump said Doge had saved a lot of public spending since the group’s creation in January. The DOGE website currently claims to have saved $ 140 billion, but an analysis by Yahoo News revealed that only $ 35 billion in savings were detailed on the site.
In February, Trump suggested that the administration was planning to give 20% of Doge’s savings to Americans as stimulation checks. The proposal came at the origin of the businessman James Fishback, who posted a four -page suggestion on a “Dogende” of $ 5,000. Musk replied: “will check with the president.”
It is not known whether the Americans will receive a recovery check or a dividend of the “economies” of Doge of any time. According to the Associated Press, budget experts claim that these checks are very unlikely.
The official Instagram account of New Jersey shared this morning this morning saying that state officials had finalized plans to start building Mont Jonas – a replica of Mount Rushmore but with the faces of the three brothers Jonas, Kevin, Joe and Nick, who grew up in the state.
“I approve of this message,” joked Kevin Jones.
No, Musk does not give $ 43,000 of Tesla cars to the 535 members of the Congress today, as Gobankingrates jokingly in another article.
In reality, there are an increasing number of public figures who abandon their teslas on the recent actions of Musk and participation in government, notably the Senator of Arizona Mark Kelly, Democrat.
Trump, on the other hand, promoted Tesla and, during a photo outside the White House on March 11, announced that he would buy a Tesla himself to support Musk.
The Instagram account of the Official Government of New York published a false ad according to which it would implement a walking speed limit of 1 MPH throughout the city.
“This will reduce pedestrian collisions on tourists and improve the mental well-being of New Yorkers,” joked the city in a legend on one of a series of photos in the post.
Yahoo announces an “too innovative” product to make fun of the technological world constantly increasing. The Touch Grass keyboard is announced as a keyboard covered with real grass, an allusion to the joke on the Internet on how people online chronically need to go out and “touch the grass”.
Although it is a gag gift, it will be legitimately available on the Yahoo Tiktok store today!
