As rumors of a Coachella 2020 postponement continue to swirl amid concerns of the COVID-19 outbreak, tech impresario and coronavirus denier Elon Musk took to Twitter to bash the festival for a sustained period of what he called "sucking."

Coachella should postpone itself until it stops sucking

Too much corporate sponsorship killed the vibe

Was good maybe 5 or 6 years ago when you could wonder around & find great unknown bands

Just as it looked like Musk was going to drag the festival through the mud uncontested, Coachella's Twitter shut him down with a photo and a simple "lol."

The photo is from Jaden Smith's Coachella set last year, where he had a Tesla Model X suspended in the air with its Falcon Wing Doors up.

This may just be the best shit ever. Jaden Smith performed on top of a flying Tesla with the doors up during his Coachella performance. This is next level!! pic.twitter.com/T7CfUfSRnU

Musk, a co-founder of Tesla, couldn't help but acknowledge their strong comeback. 

Ok fine, that was good haha

In the middle of all of this was Jaden, who tried to extend an olive branch of love for both parties. 

:) @elonmusk I Love You @coachella I Love You

If there's one good thing to come out of coronavirus, this brief but entertaining Twitter feud is it.
