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.

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.

I hate that people shit on the neck beard, im sorry my shit doesnt connect. I wish i had easy access to some extra testosterone like the trans community. Iove them, but they are so privileged getting t shots so easily. I want more beard growth, and testosterone does help. I used to rub the slight liquid from a friend of mine on my neck and cheeks trying tp promote growth.

It’s more about the meme and less about the beard. He’s wealthy enough to look like anyone/thing he wants. But it’s funny that he chooses to look and act like that, and post on Twitter all day like a loser/troll.

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.

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.

“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.”

Being financially insulated from the consequences of their own actions via their wealthy parents seems to have an effect on stunting their emotional development prematurely. Trump and Musk are both sad losers with more money than sense.

The billionaire class must be abolished.

I’m surprised Newsweek didn’t explain why he said “Dark MAGA.”

Because it was a crypto scheme.

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.
