Musk, the billionaire owner of X, formerly Twitter, and CEO of SpaceX and Tesla, joined Trump onstage in Butler on Saturday to show his support for the Republican and state that he is "not just MAGA — I am Dark MAGA."

A number of people have mocked Musk's appearance at the Butler rally on Saturday on social media, as well as criticizing his public speaking efforts.

Still need proof money cant buy cool? So weird. So desperate. So SAD.

[–] I_Clean_Here@lemmy.world 42 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Why is he so weird. Look at how weird that guy is. Unbelievably cringey and weird.

[–] root_beer@midwest.social 501 points 3 days ago (11 children)

Dork MAGA. Price Is Right-ass motherfucker jumpin’ around like he’s gonna bid on a Broyhill bedroom set with fresh white sheets. Zooted the fuck out on ket, dancin’ around on stage like a 7-year-old with glioblastoma at his very own MAGA-Wish event.

He looks like he wants to use my cars air filter for its nest.

[–] assembly@lemmy.world 100 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Goddamn that is the type of insult that needs to be printed and framed.

[–] floofloof@lemmy.ca 58 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago) (1 children)

I dunno. A friend's kid has glioblastoma. It hurt a bit to see their child compared to Elon Musk.

Every once in a while, a comment like this comes along and makes me wish Lemmy had awards.

Amazing work. It's remarkable how much he's (proudly?) transitioned into the neckbeard meme. Severe untreated mental illness is so hot right now.

I still can't stop laughing. Can't wait for the one with even derpier eyes.

[–] necromancyr@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 1 day ago

There you go. Can't get much derpier.

[–] pyre@lemmy.world 10 points 2 days ago

this looks infinitely more human than that troglodyte

[–] ByteOnBikes@slrpnk.net 27 points 3 days ago (2 children)

I can just hear the mouth breathing.

(No offense to mouth breathers, of which I am one)

[–] Zron@lemmy.world 6 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

I can hear all of the “Uhh” and “Ummmm” sounds that he makes every other word during a presentation.

You can tell he’s been coasting on daddy’s money his whole life, because no way would I give this man $5 for anything with the way he presents things. If you can’t present your own product confidently, it makes people feel you don’t have confidence in the product.

How he manages to get people to invest in things when even his investor calls sound like a 5th grader giving a report on a book they only read the summary of is beyond me.

Dark MAGA?

What is it with Right Wingers and outright admitting to being the villains?

Musk is truly the king of cringe.

Remember when he sued those advertisers for leaving Twitter after he told those advertisers to, and Im quoting here, "Go fuck yourselves"? He is basically 14.

[–] ZeroCool@slrpnk.net 141 points 3 days ago

“Your honor these companies won’t give me money despite the fact that I want it!”

Did you ask them politely and provide a service worth advertising on?

“I told them to go fuck themselves and banned everyone that was mean to the neo-nazis.”

Lol remember when he tried to be relevant by coming out on stage at a Dave Chapelle show? Everyone booed and Dave Chapelle has just continuously tanked his career since then.

[–] ChickenLadyLovesLife@lemmy.world 73 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago) (7 children)

Dave Chapelle has just continuously tanked his career since then

No, it's the Jews and the alphabet people that have tanked his career - according to one Dave Chapelle.

I do genuinely wonder how much money Melon Husk gave him for that stage appearance.

I'm surprised Newsweek didn't explain why he said "Dark MAGA."

Because it was a crypto scheme.

[–] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.world 66 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Yet another Musk pump&dump.

Fun fact: if the law applied evenly to billionaires, he'd still be in prison for his previous two market manipulation schemes (the doge coin pump and dump and the pretending that he was about to take Tesla private to boost the stock), sexual harassment, and much more.

[–] affiliate@lemmy.world 28 points 3 days ago (1 children)

i am not having fun after hearing that fact

[–] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.world 31 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Sorry about that. Allow me an attempt to rectify that.

Musk is like a real life Poochie, from "The Simpsons" who doesn't know how shallow and cringey he really is.

[–] SatansMaggotyCumFart@lemmy.world 68 points 3 days ago (1 children)

The US government should seize all of Musk’s companies and most of his money.

Just leave him with a billion dollars

[–] AbidanYre@lemmy.world 46 points 3 days ago (7 children)

Leave him a billion pennies and he'd still be doing just fine.

Does Musk's t-shirt have a nipple hole? ...wtf

[–] TehWorld@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Whereas that's hilarious, that's a pic of Mars on his shirt.

[–] bookcrawler@lemmy.world 1 points 23 hours ago

😂 thanks for clarifying. I was staring at it and all I could think of was the South Park Comcast episode.

[–] Astronauticaldb@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

It does look surprisingly like that, hit it's just Amrs unfortunately. His shirt specifically says "Occupy Mars" as if that's a good thing.

[–] HootinNHollerin@lemmy.world 39 points 3 days ago

What a fucking loser

[–] ohellidk@sh.itjust.works 48 points 3 days ago (4 children)

Shamelessly stolen from bidens campaign, so very original.
