The 25 funniest tweets of the week
What a week it’s been. Donald Trump backtracked on favouring Vladimir Putin’s version of events over that of his own intelligence services, before inviting him for a sleepover, Elon Musk nearly apologised for calling a hero diver “pedo guy” and the Egyptians opened a mysterious sarcophagus, in spite of us all warning them not to.
Over on Twitter, funny people helped us laugh through the pain and these 25 were our favourites.

What's cool about Elon Musk is that he's like a real life Tony Stark. In fact, this scene from Iron Man is almost eerie in how much it resembles him. pic.twitter.com/YqXekK3b7Y

My daughter just asked me what Brexit is. Trying to explain it to her was akin to learning Sanskrit in less than 24 hours, translating Hamlet into said Sanskrit in less than 24 hours, learning said play in less than 24 hours and putting it on at The Palladium for a six year run.

Well son, I was at work one day and someone showed me a website called twitter that had a funny picture of a dog, and I like funny pictures of dogs so I joined the website and – long story short – that is how I came to lead this revolutionary communist guerilla insurgency.
