I mean, seriously, what is wrong with Elon Musk? The guy’s a genius, no doubt about it, but sometimes I think he forgets he’s a human being and not a superhero action figure.
And then he goes and pulls a stunt like this at CPAC, and I’m just sitting here face-palming so hard I’m starting to get a headache. I mean, who tries to be cool by dancing like a total dad on stage?
But, you know, the internet being the internet, it didn’t take long for people to start mercilessly mocking him online – and honestly, I am HERE. FOR. IT. (Can someone please get this man a dance lessons or something?)
And let’s be real, it’s not like Elon Musk’s Twitter is exactly known for being a bastion of sanity and normalcy, but come on, dude, this is just on another level. I mean, what’s next, is he going to start wearing a cape and calling himself “The SpaceX Savior” or something?
But in all seriousness, it’s kind of sad to see someone as intelligent and innovative as Elon Musk resorting to this kind of attention-seeking behavior – can’t he just stick to, I don’t know, making space travel more accessible or something?
And don’t even get me started on the CPAC crowd – I mean, I know they’re used to seeing some pretty cringeworthy stuff, but this is just on another level. (Did they at least get a free t-shirt out of it or something?)
But hey, at the end of the day, I guess you could say Elon Musk’s CPAC stunt was a success – I mean, it got people talking, right? (Just maybe not in the way he intended – cringe, indeed.)
And can we please take a moment to appreciate the satirical goldmine that is Twitter’s reaction to this whole debacle? I mean, it’s like the internet is one big, never-ending roast – and honestly, I am HERE. FOR. IT.
But, I mean, what’s the takeaway from all this? Is it that Elon Musk needs to stick to what he’s good at (i.e., making electric cars and launching rockets)? Or is it that the internet just loves to troll people who take themselves too seriously?
And, on a completely unrelated note, does anyone know where I can get a good coffee around here? I mean, I’ve been up all night writing this rant and I’m starting to feel like a zombie.
But, I digress – back to Elon Musk’s CPAC stunt. I mean, it’s not like it’s going to go down in history as one of the most epic fails of all time or anything (oh wait, it totally is).
And, in conclusion, let this be a lesson to all the celebrities on Twitter: if you’re going to try to be funny or cool, at least make sure you’re not being a cringe lord. (Just saying.)
But hey, what do I know? I’m just a troll on the internet – what’s your take on this whole debacle? (Please, by all means, roast me in the comments below.)
