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.

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

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

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

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.

[–] [email protected] 141 points 1 month 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.”

Musk and Trump are people who never developed. They seem like children because they stopped growing somewhere in elementary school.

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.

[–] [email protected] 28 points 1 month ago (1 children)

i am not having fun after hearing that fact

[–] [email protected] 31 points 1 month ago (1 children)

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

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.

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.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 1 month ago (6 children)

Is he blaming the Jews now? Sigh, I’m getting really sick and tired of this antisemitism bullshit

Dark MAGA?

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

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

Just leave him with a billion dollars

[–] [email protected] 46 points 1 month ago (5 children)

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

Shamelessly stolen from bidens campaign, so very original.

[–] [email protected] 41 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Not even, it's a crypto shit coin. Unless the crypto scheme copied that.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 1 month ago

It did, according to the article linked in @[email protected]’s post.

The dark Brandon thing doesn't even make sense applied to maga. All maga is dark maga.

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

[–] [email protected] 23 points 1 month ago (1 children)

He's edgy, he's "in your face." You've heard the expression, "let's get busy"? Well, this is a ~~dog~~ manchild who gets "biz-zay!" Consistently and thoroughly.

What a fucking loser

What a fucking weirdo. At least he provided a bit of laughter to the world with his idiocy this time.

Did he get pubic hair transplanted to his face?

Elon is coming to California on the 10th. I have a feeling it is not going to be a warm welcome.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 1 month ago

Dark MAGA? I'm surprised he isn't X-MAGA.
