Beloved PBS children's cartoon Arthur just roasted Elon Musk with a perfectly repurposed clip, and the internet is collectively cheering.

In a video captioned "To each their own," the cartoon's official TikTok perfectly captured Musk's response to advertisers like Disney, Lionsgate and IBM pulling ads and promotions from X, formerly Twitter, and greatly reducing their activity on the platform following an antisemitic tweet posted by its owner last month.

In the original cartoon, Arthur expresses surprise over seeing friends he thought were occupied elsewhere “solving unsolvable problems.”

But his friends shared that they just decided to stop trying to solve them.

In the clip posted to TikTok, Arthur is labeled as "Advertisers leaving X."

When another friend suggests that "maybe there is something to be learned from all this," the characters labeled "Elon" responded in unison:

"Nah."

To each their own. #Arthur #Twitter #Elon

The roughly 900k viewers of the TikTok were absolutely living for this shade.
