I don't think the right realizes that this kind of self-conscious, attention-baiting, tryhard stuff gets them easily clocked as losers. They remind me of the uncool guys in middle school who always had their hands in their pockets because they were too afraid of moving them wrong, and would call any expression of unbridled enthusiasm "gay" because they resented not feeling like they had the social permission for similar expression.
Yeah, was uncomfortable in my skin and anxious most of the time and kept my hands in my pockets cuz I didn't know what else to do with them. Always hoped others didn't notice too much and you're shattering the illusion I sustained for at least a decade...
That in itself is not bad, it is that in conjunction with bullying others to sustain the facade to yourself that you are cool that is bad. Everyone does it to some extent but people like Elon never grew out of it or did any self-searching to diffuse their need for self-consciously seeking strangers' approval.
It's people uncomfortable in their own skin and always wondering where they are on the social totem pole assuaging their anxieties by pantomiming what they have seen cooler people do, edit: but mainly just by picking on the kids they felt to be weaker (even those with some disability) or mock any sincerity they didn't feel like they had the social permission to express

this just sounds like autism, though I'm pretty sure "autistic = loser" isn't the point you're trying to make
I guess I should add that unlike those with autism they also would pick on kids less popular than them, spread fake rumors to make people pariahs and elevate their own social status comparatively, and call every act of unbridled enthusiasm by anyone "gay" as well.
Musk always reminds me of a guy I went to high school with that was something like a glorified ballboy for the basketball team, but acted like he was ACTUALLY a player
Good fucking lord why is that the one he's obsessed with, that doggo shit was done to death years ago. And don't get me wrong, I was one of the ones doing it, but you gotta move on sometime
Pepe was done dirty. Matt Furie is probably the most disgruntled cartoonist of all time.

Actually, I’m sure that’s not true.
Dilbert guy is definitely in the running for the disgruntled awards.
Crying and shidding out dilberitos while posting about hypnosis on the internet in between editing his book about a fart joke so good it killed God.
Just everyday normal dude things. Not disgruntled at all.
This is the one guy who's allowed to sprey and pray with DMCA notices
People behave in strange and unpredictable ways when they are scared and nobody fears death and irrelevance more than the idiot prince of the internet.
i didnt notice doge and i thought he was referencing the norman rockwell
meme insteadNot to sound like a libertarian but "government efficiency" for a state that basically perfected bureaucracy is certainly one of the takes of all time.
Honestly, that's why it might actually be a good idea. We could use someone figuring out where the best places to cut bureaucracy and get things running better are.
That person just absolutely shouldn't be a delusional manchild or a "cut everything" style conservative.
What and get rid of 10s of thousands of useless jobs just to let the workers who actually create meaningful things actually work? Bah! Bah, I say!
This man is a charisma black hole. You know how Sorkin and Mark Hamill are cringy because they're trying to be cool and epic? Elon doesn't have to try (and fail) to be cool to be cringe. This man is effortlessly cringe. He exhales and anyone not in his orbit recoils. So when he does actually try to be cool and fall flat, it's an automatic critical strike
part of the government efficiency is getting rid of some states. cutting the ones that are dead weight, merging the redundant ones, selling some off to other countries.
Excuse me Ms France, do you want to buy Louisiana? Maybe you Ms Russia, i got nice and almost untouched Alaska here? Mom Brtiannia maybe you want some back?
Hillary Vs Musk 2028 and the whole universe collapses in on itself cause of the cringe and we can finally get some god damned peace and quiet.
HURRRR MUH DOGE MUH MURICA PRESIDUNT!!!this is the sort of infantile shit that is usually put to rest after secondary school at the latest
If the government is looking for efficiencies then you can bet the department of government efficiency is first on the chopping block
