Elon is a 14 year old trapped in a man's body isn't he? He wished to be big.

[–] Stern@lemmy.world 103 points 2 months ago (2 children)

You ever see the trench coat pic of him? It's like a fedora short of being a full on "that guy" stereotype.

It’s giving the same vibes as this:

This picture at least has better lighting and framing. Which is impressive, given that it seems to be a poorly propped up selfie with flash on.

[–] Opisek@lemmy.world 7 points 2 months ago

The composition, the pose - this is a masterpiece!

Look, when I was a kid I had some cringe taste. I'm sure many of us did. He looks a bit old for the teenage cringe era here, though.

And a mall ninja sword

Most rich people are, especially if they grew up wealthy. They never had to face any consequences or handle real responsibility, and it shows.

[–] Tangent5280@lemmy.world 6 points 2 months ago

They also didn't have to develop the leadership skills that would make people want to follow them without the promise of rewards or punishment - In the words of kids nowadays, they have a permanent aura debuff.

He's JP from Grandma's Boy

Did he just admit to murder? I’m pretty sure that’s an admission of murder, and he intends to murder again.

[–] Mouselemming@sh.itjust.works 111 points 2 months ago (4 children)

Sounds like terrorism to me

[–] rockSlayer@lemmy.world 38 points 2 months ago (2 children)

It's only terrorism if he kills himself.

[–] bobs_monkey@lemm.ee 17 points 2 months ago

I'd call that a win for society

Well, of course. He's from apartheid Africa

[–] bleistift2@sopuli.xyz 93 points 2 months ago

Remember the olden days? When you would laugh at such a (then) blog post and immediately know that that user had been hacked, because there was no way that guy would say something like this?

Pepperidge Farms remembers.

[–] rayyy@lemmy.world 85 points 2 months ago (2 children)

He sounds like those 14 YOs on Reddit.

[–] criitz@reddthat.com 37 points 2 months ago

He basically is a 14 year old on reddit

energy drink

they sell ketamine in beverage form now?

[–] nialv7@lemmy.world 72 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (4 children)

I mean, I hate musk as much as everyone here, but it's deceptive trying to pass a one-year-old tweet as relevant to current events...

If you check the context, elon was goofing around , clearly not taking himself seriously, replying to a tweet of a photo of him holding a katana: https://x.com/elonmusk/status/1726989224073896365

[–] Earflap@reddthat.com 25 points 2 months ago (8 children)

Some of us think its weird to post this shit in any context.

They also removed the date. It's quite intentionally misleading, it's so gross.

In other words, President Musk is confessing that he had killed, and buried people already and he's not afraid of continuing to do so? I'm my eyes, that's a terrorist. I'm scared.

[–] FinalRemix@lemmy.world 33 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

I mean... the guy's (poorly) quoting movies and shit these days. "Take a big step back and fuck your own face" is literally Les Grossman from Tropic Thunder, verbatim.

He doesn't even have original thoughts. This is some Ruroni Kenshin shit, here.

You silly, a "terrorist" is a poor person. Musk is rich so he can't be one!

He could pay full-time coolness coaches to teach him how to be cool and it still wouldn't work.

[–] Quill7513@slrpnk.net 41 points 2 months ago (1 children)

coolness is all about being authentically you. you can't be cool and trying to act cool at the same time. you can only be cool by cultivating within yourself the type of friend you'd want to hang out with. the world's richest dickhead, meanwhile, has not cultivated within himself anything worthy of being friends with. he is purely superficial, not at all authentic. he's a sequence of memes brought to life meant to make you think he's part of your culture when he isn't. interactions with him rob you of the genuine interactions you could be having with people around you, people with real thoughts and real feelings. not just some dumb amalgamation of crufty memes the rest of us moved on from.

[–] funkless_eck@sh.itjust.works 13 points 2 months ago (1 children)

and you know, running a major business at an executive level just isn't very cool. Oh great you directed a team to run an extensive RFP of manufacturing materials to see if panama or the horn of africa is cheaper when shipping full containers and then you looked at the report and picked the lower number, before staying up until 4am to try and impress a 53 year old guy from China so he'd give you a 2% discount on warehouse space. So fucking cool my dude, let me write a quick rap about it.

[–] Soup@lemmy.world 9 points 2 months ago (5 children)

Well, that and anyone who pays even a little bit of attention knows that he’s really fucking bad being a CEO, too. Money and ownership makes it really easy to cover up being an utter failure because you can pay smarter people to do your work for you and they can’t even talk back because you’ll fire them in a temper tantrum.

This sounds like those tweets from Andrew Tate about when he was fighting dream ghosts from jail.

New copypasta just dropped

Elon, you backed out of a charity fight with Zuckerberg, because your mum told you that you're not allowed to fight, shut the fuck up.

For how long did he study the blade?

[–] Easyreever@lemmy.world 22 points 2 months ago

Bro, save some cringe for the rest of us

[–] pyre@lemmy.world 21 points 2 months ago

"the likes of which you cannot comprehend" was really painful too. he's trying so hard to be intimidating to compensate for the fact that he's built like a walrus with genetic defects and looks like a troglodyte. we all saw you jump around like a dipshit on stage and become the first person in history to fuck up the USA chant.

[–] BenLeMan@lemmy.world 19 points 2 months ago

I was just thinking this is from r/im14andthisisdeep.

[–] HawlSera@lemm.ee 15 points 2 months ago

Can someone just fuck Elon Musk and tell him that he's their little pog champ?

Yeah... no I wouldn't do it either.

Sorry it's just, there's gotta be some way for him to get validation without rubbing his tiny penis in everyone's face.

[–] lemmylommy@lemmy.world 15 points 2 months ago

Is he trained in gorilla warfare?

[–] BigDanishGuy@sh.itjust.works 13 points 2 months ago

Oh shit, looks like Elon got to go to the mall to "train" with the swords at gamestop, and now he's all cocky.

[–] levzzz@lemmy.world 8 points 2 months ago

I guess he's not wrong if the working class are his enemies

If he slashes social spending, he can choose a grave for himself in the same breath.

[–] TheEighthDoctor@lemmy.world 5 points 2 months ago

Also my dad is a cop and will arrest yours
