    This man is perpetually trying to go back to a time where he was more popular. Doge memes. Libertarians being relevant (le epic Ron Paul and Ron Swanson). Tumblr tier puns (let that sink in). 69/420 funny numbers. Occupy Wall Street. Its as if I can peer into his mind. I see a divorced man, former cool uncle, now going through a midlife crisis, desperately throwing the same memes and references to recapture his former status as "cool".

    Man's gonna release a Harlem Shake video with Trump Jr. and Eric in 2024 wearing a Dicks Out For Harambe shirt.

      Whenever you feel your're not good enough, not cool enough, too out of touch, too much of a dork, you just have to remember that Elon exists and immediately you'll feel better about yourself.

      In this moment, he was euphoric. Just before he started concern trolling for Christianity, he was LARPing as a devil worshiper for sheer contrarian Reddit New Atheism cred. He liked that moment so much that he kept it as his Twitter avatar for years now.

        Those dead fucking eyes, he isn't even happy in this picture. Just striking an epic pose and tricking himself into believing this feeling of coolness is what being happy is like.

          He's the richest man in the world and he spends most of his time trying to get everyone to love him on the internet, with diminishing returns even as he boosts the nazi count on Twitter as much as he can.

            It's genuinely makes me sad for him and scared for us. An empty soulless shell walking around trying to fill the void with whatever it can find. What a volatile state of mind to be in.

              Narcissists are by definition leaky buckets. Nothing can fill them, not even for long, and that insatiability does more and more damage the more power they get.
