not really a fair comparison since erlang is a fully fledged operating system (joke).
in general functional languages do worse due to the abstraction, and then VM languages do worse still, and then dynamically typed languages are less efficient than statically typed. Erlang is all the above.
F# fits the first 2 (functional lang on a VM) and has a pretty bad energy rating despite being a fast language.

So, it's only a joke in the "Ha ha but seriously" sense. Lisp also fits all those criteria and is quite efficient, but it developed under different design constraints.
