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.
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.”
???
I said out loud while watching it that he’s got all the charm of an awkward 12 year old boy
No wonder Trump likes him. He must think he’s like Jeffrey Epstein reincarnated or something.
Musk and Trump are people who never developed. They seem like children because they stopped growing somewhere in elementary school.
Facing challenges helps us to grow, they faced few until they opened their mouths on the public stage.
I do believe that Trump and his entourage were genuinely shocked about the amount of attention his personal life would get after declaring his candidacy. That they’d be able to carry on like normal.
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.
Surely not all of it.
Maybe all of it except the young boyishness
What a fucking weirdo. At least he provided a bit of laughter to the world with his idiocy this time.
Would have been funny as fuck if he caught a round mid jump
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.
i am not having fun after hearing that fact
Sorry about that. Allow me an attempt to rectify that.
thank you. that fact was much more fun
“X-MAGA” would have sent mixed signals
I thought it was in reference to Dark Brandon.
As did I. Though if it was, I think he’s misunderstood what Dark Brandon even meant.
I assumed it was the equivalent of “dark enlightenment”.
I assumed it was a weird reference to the Phoenix Force from X-Men.
Considering this is the man who thought that the name of the main character in Blade Runner is “Bladerunner,” I doubt it.
https://futurism.com/the-byte/elon-musk-main-character-blade-runner
I don’t want him associating with my favorite movie. Secondly, he probably thinks the theatrical cut is the canonical one.
Apparently he hasn’t seen any cut if he thinks Deckard’s name is Bladerunner. It’s not like they never say his name in the movie. It’s said multiple times.
Imagine watching Bladerunner and being so fucked up on whatever drugs he was on to think the main character’s name was “Bladerunner”.
Dark MAGA? I’m surprised he isn’t X-MAGA.
Does Musk’s t-shirt have a nipple hole? …wtf
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.
Whereas that’s hilarious, that’s a pic of Mars on his shirt.
😂 thanks for clarifying. I was staring at it and all I could think of was the South Park Comcast episode.
Still need proof money cant buy cool? So weird. So desperate. So SAD.
The US government should seize all of Musk’s companies and most of his money.
Just leave him with a billion dollars
Leave him a billion pennies and he’d still be doing just fine.
How about $3.50?
“Oh Lord, they didn’t bring a sacrifice chile.”
I said, “Get the hell outta here, you damn monstah!”
I think he might actually be worse off with a hundred billion pennies for the full billion dollars. Not only would dealing with that many pennies in one place legitimately be challenging, but having that percentage of the total pennies in circulation suddenly removed could be enough to get the US Government to reconsider deprecating them, leaving him with the bag.
I say give him the full billion in pennies.
If it’s like the old half-cent coins, then pennies will be worth more as collectibles after they’re discontinued.
I thi k the US should follow other countries’ lead and just stop minting the penny. It’s basically a subsidie anyway.
People are hyper aware of this. That’s part of the problem, now there are penny collectors causing an increase in demand.
Musk is like a real life Poochie, from “The Simpsons” who doesn’t know how shallow and cringey he really is.
Woah. Elmo drove a Tesla??
He’s edgy, he’s “in your face.” You’ve heard the expression, “let’s get busy”? Well, this is a
dogmanchild who gets “biz-zay!” Consistently and thoroughly.I feel like we should rastify him by about 10% or so…
Shit sticks together
What a fucking loser
Why is he so weird. Look at how weird that guy is. Unbelievably cringey and weird.
Weird too.
Dark MAGA?
What is it with Right Wingers and outright admitting to being the villains?
I mean, as much as it’s cringe it was cringe when Biden did “Dark Brandon”. I imagine this is a response to that not “we’re the villains” (even though they are)
Biden was not the originator of the DB memes
And yet the Biden teams plastered it all over the his social media
What you’re doing right now is called moving the goalposts
I didn’t set any goalposts. I’m not arguing with you. Just pointing out that they weren’t “admitting to being evil” as the poster of this thread said, simply Elon trying to copy the dark Brandon thing because it got popular for Biden.
Okay
For the audience who get their political information from fucking Twitter, that’s just fine.
Dark Brandon was created as an evil representation of Biden that did evil things, like helping people. His supporters found this funny, because if this person where actually real they’d like him a lot more, so they spread memes of “Dark Brandon” supporting policies they liked. The Biden team saw this and started using it too, as a way to share actual good policies they were doing. Basically, it was an insult turned into a weapon.
Musk doing this is skipping all that context and essentially just saying they’re the supposedly bad thing. Without actually saying why it’s good, it just sounds like you’re doing the bad thing —which they absolutely are, but shouldn’t want to own. He’s an internet edgelord who never understood internet culture and purchased a social media site. It’s sad.
Naw, Dark Brandon was kinda based
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.
“i’M RIk BOutCh!!”
Because being rich makes you cool. /s
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.
Is he blaming the Jews now? Sigh, I’m getting really sick and tired of this antisemitism bullshit
Arent jews starting a whole ass war in the middle east simply because they’re assholes?
Or is it because they want to rob even more land and lives from the arab palestinian. I dont dislike jews for anything other then their constant war crimes since the 30s.
WHICH THERE ARE A LOT OF WAR CRIMES!!! Other than the russians, what other country does such vile shit. Iran litteraly shakes their head at Israel and says they’re fucked up. North Korea is even better behaved compared to Israel.
No Israel is. It’s a nation state not an ethnicity/religion. Israel attempts to conflate the two, but the rabbis marching against it and the long Jewish tradition of arguing over Zionism say otherwise.
Watch his recent SNL opening monologue. Or don’t - that’s also a good choice.
Oh no, yeah I’d rather not watch a man insult queer and Jewish people and get mad when I don’t find his bigotry funny.
Shamelessly stolen from bidens campaign, so very original.
It’s not like Musk does anything new
Not even, it’s a crypto shit coin. Unless the crypto scheme copied that.
It did, according to the article linked in @FlyingSquid@lemmy.world’s post.
The dark Brandon thing doesn’t even make sense applied to maga. All maga is dark maga.
