Most of the general population can’t read above something like a fifth grade level. Here on HN it’s higher, but I wouldn’t say it’s safe to assume you can just engage in even mild word play without risking being misinterpreted, unfortunately.
Written word play, especially in such a short sentence, will be hit or miss with even capable readers because one's interpretation will be devoid of interpersonal context (including nonverbal signals) and heavy on other context such as expecting some in this community to continue to defend Elon/DOGE because we've seen it plenty on HN to date.
