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.
Did he get pubic hair transplanted to his face?
Well, technically speaking, pubic hairs and facial hairs are the same kind of hair for everyone.
Still need proof money cant buy cool? So weird. So desperate. So SAD.
Does Musk’s t-shirt have a nipple hole? …wtf
Whereas that’s hilarious, that’s a pic of Mars on his shirt.
I’m surprised Newsweek didn’t explain why he said “Dark MAGA.”
Because it was a crypto scheme.

I assumed it was the equivalent of “dark enlightenment”.
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
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.
“X-MAGA” would have sent mixed signals
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”.
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.
People are hyper aware of this. That’s part of the problem, now there are penny collectors causing an increase in demand.
Shamelessly stolen from bidens campaign, so very original.
The dark Brandon thing doesn’t even make sense applied to maga. All maga is dark maga.
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.
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 a awkward 12 year old boy
Surely not all of it.
Maybe all of it except the young boyishness
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.
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.
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.
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.
You had me in the first half
have some lemmy gold
if you remove the gold foil its also lemmy chocolate
He looks like he wants to use my cars air filter for its nest.
OMFG I haven’t laughed this hard at an Internet comment in years.
Every once in a while, a comment like this comes along and makes me wish Lemmy had awards.
Here, hand out some of these instead:
🏅🏅🏅🥇🥇🥇🎖️🎖️🎖️Not exactly that but reactions like MissKey/SharkKey had
This guy just rolled a natural 20 for Viscous Mockery
I know some of those words!
Brother I’m dead after reading that 🤣
I want you to write my eulogy.
When I bought broyhill this weekend
ow man
This is, by far, the best insult I’ve seen all year
Why is he so weird. Look at how weird that guy is. Unbelievably cringey and weird.
Weird too.
What a fucking weirdo. At least he provided a bit of laughter to the world with his idiocy this time.
Elon is coming to California on the 10th. I have a feeling it is not going to be a warm welcome.
“jump”
Higher … faster!
Dark MAGA has entered the stage!
Light MAGA where you at?
“Try the all new Lite Maga! All the bigotry and hatred you’ve come to expect, with half the calories!”
More hateful!
Less sense!
More hateful!
Less sense!
That’s Dork MAGA
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)
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
Biden was not the originator of the DB memes
And yet the Biden teams plastered it all over the his social media
For the audience who get their political information from fucking Twitter, that’s just fine.
What you’re doing right now is called moving the goalposts
Okay
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.
Would have been funny as fuck if he caught a round mid jump
