Biohacker Bryan Johnson makes a bizarre dig at Elon Musk on social media.
Elon Musk is no certainly no stranger to criticism - particularly before he made the decision to buy Twitter in 2022.
But after replying to a post about biohacker Bryan Johnson, the millionaire hit back fiercely.
But let's back up first - who is Johnson?

Johnson, 46, has been thrust into the media spotlight for his efforts to turn back the clock on his aging process.
His methods aren’t as straightforward as just more rest and a good face cream however, they are a lot more unconventional to put it mildly.
Johnson reportedly used his own son's blood in some treatments, as well as adhering to strict diets and counting his night-time erections with shockwave therapy.
In his aim to make his body younger, he spends $2million a year.
But the millionaire mogul seems to be a little bit sensitive about his appearance as well.
X (formerly Twitter) user Matt Paulson was able to get a response from Johnson after sharing two pictures of him at different ages.
“Unpopular opinion of the day is that Bryan Johnson looked way better before he started spending $2 million/year on his body,” he wrote.
And Johnson seemed to take it lightly at first, writing: “Former Bryan didn’t get invited to vampire cosplay as himself,”
However, Musk also commented on the viral post, simply putting the 100 emoji.
Sharing the post on December 31, Johnson replied to Musk: “The difference between Elon and me: I’ll nourish you and drink your blood; he’ll fire you and leave you to die.”
While it isn’t exactly clear what Johnson meant by this, some social media users' just assumed that he was trolling the billionaire Tesla CEO.
UNILAD has contacted Musk's reps for comment.
Along with de-aging objectives, Johnson also admitted that trolling was one of his goals for 2024.
“2024 goals: 0.Make history’s most nutritious program cost competitive w/ fast food. Scale globally,” he wrote on an X post.
“1.Build DON’T DIE into a planetary community, movement & guiding 21st-century philosophy.2. Lower .69 speed of aging & clean up aging damage. Open source it all. 3.Troll.”
The treatment Johnson receives is from a company called Minicircle and is backed by tech billionaire Peter Thiel and OpenAI CEO Sam Altman.
Johnson's daily routine includes starting his day at 5am and undergoes a high-intensity workout.
He also maintains a strict vegan diet that never exceeds 2,250 calories, and has a strict bedtime routine that involves wearing blue light glasses.
