Making Placeholder Text Multiplanetary™

Elon Musk-themed placeholder text generator - Lorem Ipsum but with rockets, AI, and Mars. Because regular Lorem Ipsum is so 15th century.

Lorem Muskum is a parody placeholder text generator inspired by Elon Musk's ventures, tweets, and visionary statements. Perfect for developers who want to add some tech-bro energy to their mockups and prototypes.

Simply tweeting at 3am about Dogecoin. The key to selling flamethrowers to fund Mars is meme and Dogecoin. Big galaxy-brain energy!
const loremMuskum = require('lorem-muskum'); // Generate 1 paragraph (default) console.log(loremMuskum()); // Generate 3 paragraphs console.log(loremMuskum(3));
const loremMuskum = require('lorem-muskum'); // Generate 50 words console.log(loremMuskum.words(50)); // Generate 20 words console.log(loremMuskum.words(20));
const loremMuskum = require('lorem-muskum'); // Generate 5 sentences with technical style (default) console.log(loremMuskum.sentences(5)); // Generate 3 sentences in tweet style console.log(loremMuskum.sentences(3, 'tweet')); // Generate 2 sentences in visionary style console.log(loremMuskum.sentences(2, 'visionary'));
const loremMuskum = require('lorem-muskum'); // Generate 3 paragraphs console.log(loremMuskum.paragraphs(3)); // Generate 2 paragraphs in visionary style console.log(loremMuskum.paragraphs(2, 'visionary'));

Advanced Usage with Options

const loremMuskum = require('lorem-muskum'); // Generate with custom options console.log(loremMuskum.generate({ count: 5, units: 'sentences', style: 'tweet' })); console.log(loremMuskum.generate({ count: 100, units: 'words' })); console.log(loremMuskum.generate({ count: 2, units: 'paragraphs', style: 'visionary' }));
import loremMuskum from 'lorem-muskum'; console.log(loremMuskum.sentences(3, 'tweet'));
import loremMuskum, { GenerateOptions, StyleType } from 'lorem-muskum'; const options: GenerateOptions = { count: 5, units: 'sentences', style: 'technical' }; const text: string = loremMuskum.generate(options); console.log(text);

You can also use Lorem Muskum from the command line:

# Generate 3 paragraphs (default) npx lorem-muskum # Generate 5 sentences npx lorem-muskum -c 5 -u sentences # Generate 100 words npx lorem-muskum --count 100 --units words # Generate 2 paragraphs in visionary style npx lorem-muskum -c 2 -u paragraphs -s visionary # Generate tweets npx lorem-muskum -c 5 -u sentences -s tweet # Show help npx lorem-muskum --help
  • -c, --count <number> - Number of units to generate (default: 3)
  • -u, --units <type> - Type of units: words, sentences, paragraphs (default: paragraphs)
  • -s, --style <type> - Style: tweet, technical, visionary (default: technical)
  • -h, --help - Show help message

Lorem Muskum supports three different styles:

Professional, technical statements about technology and innovation.

Short, punchy statements in the style of social media posts.

Example:

"Mars! Working on high-bandwidth brain-machine interface. Starship is the future."

Longer, inspirational statements about the future of humanity and technology.

Example:

"Imagine a world where taking humanity to Mars is possible through advanced rocket technology. This isn't science fiction - it's the inevitable future we're building."
