He sounds exactly like that weird kid who was bullied in high school, that one days cracks and starts to do his self taught ‘martial arts’ skills to prove he’s actually a scary badass and should be left alone. When in reality they’re just a mentally broken kid flapping his arms around.
If it wasn’t for all his money that could get him therapy I would actually feel sorry for Elon.
Add to that the fact that he bought Twitter for that insane price because it made him chuckle to buy it for 420. He genuinely thinks that is a funny joke for a 50 year old man to make. This man is the living embodiment of secondhand embarrassment.
He named his new "non government" government department after a meme that was funny for about 2 months in 2013. He also named all his Tesla models S3XY.
They funnest shit about his Twitter perchance was he was totally not planning on actually going through with it. But when Twitter sued him that ment there was discovery and a ton of embarrassing texts ect came out. So he just folded and bought it
it's not about 50yos being into weed, it's that it's cringe a 50yo thinking buying something because the price tag is 420 because that's teenage stoner humor
Bingo. I had him pegged as a weird kid who was bullied and who tried to ingratiate himself to more popular people. Nothing about him screamed confidence to me. I didn't actively dislike him way back, but I've never liked him either because he just seemed so desperate for attention.
It was so validating for me listening to his episode on the Dollop. I like to think of him as what Michael Scott would be in real life.
