What part of "satire" could be called credible?

I don't understand how so many of you even took this seriously.

I can't speak for others, but I have autism and interpret things literally unless there are obvious signs of a joke. I'm one of the people that benefit from textual tone indicators.

Fair enough. It's the nature of satire not to be credible, and that's what the joke was all about.
