Of all people, Elon should be able to appreciate this, being the meme lord that he is.

Someone should splice Elon’s cringe performance in with that Microsoft Windows launch video from the 90’s where Bill Gates and Steve Ballmer jump around and dance awkwardly on stage for an uncomfortably long time.

#DorkMAGA was trending on Twitter.

***From Rolling Stone’s Peter Wade:***
*The tech billionaire declared himself “dark MAGA” and got mocked for it on the social media network he owns.*
Elon Musk joined Donald Trump on stage at a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, the site of the assassination attempt that killed firefighter Corey Comperatore and injured Trump and others. But this was not a solemn occasion.
As Musk took the stage in an all-black MAGA cap and “Occupy Mars” t-shirt, he bounced up and down, launching countless memes as the internet mocked him — often on X (formerly Twitter), the social media site Musk purchased for $44 billion in 2022. Recently, Musk shared that the company is now valued at just $19 billion, a $25 billion decline.
Critiques of Musk’s jumping technique pointed out just how awkward he looked as well as Trump’s visual disgust when Musk took the stage. As Rolling Stone reported in August, Trump thinks Musk is “weird,” “boring,” annoying and has mood swings. In 2022, Trump publicly called Musk “another bullshit artist.”
Users on Threads took the photo of Musk’s leaps and inserted it into famous movie moments, including Jack and Rose’s romantic embrace on the bow of the Titanic, Patrick Swayze’s finale lift in Dirty Dancing, and, of course, Musk as Joaquin Phoenix’s Joker dancing down the stairs.
This kind of reminds me of Tom Cruise jumping up on Oprah’s couch in the early day of his relationship with Katie Holmes. I hope Elon gets mocked at least as much as Tom did for that.

The guy is so desperately wanting to be loved and adored.
Elon, the guy who is embarrassed by his teen age trans daughter?

Ah his leap cries “Yippie!!!! Fascism and theft by deception with a hot side of immgrant bashing racism! OMG if I wasn’t so old I would have jizzed my pants at the prospect!”

I saw that pic flash across my feed yesterday and didn’t recognize Elmo at first. I thought it was someone who rushed the stage for the lolz.
Don’t need to watch to know how cringe it is.

Body shaming or not, Elon Musk is a tub of lard.

I like how they color code the MAGA caps. If they are wearing black they are evil, if it’s red they are crazy.

You can tell he’s so jealous of the dark Brandon meme and thinks it’s soo cool he’s got to try and cringingly copy it. What a fucking loser.

How did they go from the most epic and iconic photo with perfect triangular composition . Blood. A defiant fist. The flag. I mean I taught photography for years and regardless of the person in it, it was just about the most quintessential image you could ever hope to produce.
And then this one. The most meme-iest photo of all time.
