Every time I see this clip and remember the original he's trying to copy, I can't help but guffaw at how pathetic an imitation it is. Don't mistake this for endorsement, by any means, but the original had composure, posture, military , projected control and determination, all the ingredients for the image of strength he wanted to project.
Musk? He has an edgy tryhard teenager's imitation, biting his lip like he's trying to look super focused, moving as if he's trying to put feeling into it or whatever. It's like the uncanny valley of parody: We know it's not parody, but it's also not really the original.
It's like "How do you do, fellow ~~kids~~ Nazis" except Buscemi doesn't deserve being used as analogy for that. Nobody does, really.
God, Musk is such a loser and it's a mystery how he got as influential among young people as he did.
i blame simcity 3000. it made me eco, and he was the only eco guy with a platform targeting teenagers in 2005
