Summary
“I have been in the same room with Elon, and he always tries to be funny. And he’s not funny. Like, at all,” a senior Trump administration official told Rolling Stone. “He makes these jokes and little asides and smiles and then looks almost hurt if you don’t lap up his humor. I keep using the word ‘annoying’; a lot of people who have to deal with him do.”
Musk’s insufferable behavior has caused several high-ranking officials to walk out of important meetings and sincerely question if he was high on drugs, the publication reports, while Secretary of State Marco Rubio is said to be barely able to hide his immense dislike of the DOGE chief and State Department officials routinely call him “Crazy Uncle Elon” behind his back.
Other officials have suggested subjecting Musk to a mandatory drug test, which he has said is a “great idea” for federal employees, as a way to push him out of the door. The Tesla CEO has denied taking any illegal drugs, although numerous people claim to have witnessed him use LSD, cocaine, Ecstasy, and mushrooms behind closed doors, the Wall Street Journal reports.
Musk is so poor all he has is money.
He thought having more money would make him powerful and therefore likable, and he’s in the FA stage.
If he decided to do something like solve world hunger instead of buying Twitter a lot of people would begrudgingly give him some respect at least.
He’s a narcissist. He psychologically is unable to think that way. For him power comes from mone, so he cannot give it away. If he’s not rich, then he’s not special. He’s no one.
A shy guy who desperately wants to be a nerd’s nerd somehow gets tangled with the party of RAM truck buying adult frat bros who see themselves as “alpha”. I just can’t figure out the culture fit, and articles like this don’t surprise me at all. Like, isn’t Trump the kind of guy who would endlessly bully someone for saying they play videogames at all?
There are two main types of “conservative” now. The old school big truck lovin’, god-fearin’, beer guzzling, anti-environmentalist yeehaw types, and the “newer” 4chan-posting, edgelording, neckbearded, gamergatin’, crypto-lovin’ internet troll types that have arose in the last twenty-five years with the proliferation of the Internet. Elon is trying to fit in with the latter.
“newer” 4chan-posting, edgelording,
You mean asmongold grandpa?
^ This. Never forget, Trump’s first term was pushed to success by 4 chan. He is and always has been a 4chan president. He is the emolbodiement of everything /b/
He’s so used to being the boss and having everyone always laugh at his shitty jokes that he thinks he’s funny.
He’s not a politician and has no charisma or any way of getting people to do what he wants outside of ordering them to, which is why he’ll never do well in politics where building and maintaining relationships in your coalition is one of your main jobs.
He probably thinks “lolrandom” humor is the peak of comedy.
he already revealed what he thinks is comedy when he talked about his pitch to SNL. it’s unbelievable.
very curious what he pitched
I couldn’t take the suspense and I had to look it up.
Musk also told the crowd that he didn’t like the ideas he was presented with early in the week. “I was a bit worried at the beginning there,” he said, “because frankly nothing was funny.”
He then went on to reveal his idea of funny, describing one pitch in particular that did not go over well.
“One of the things that everyone’s been wondering this whole time is: Is Saturday Night Live actually live… or do they have a delay just in case there’s a wardrobe malfunction or something like that?,” Musk said to set up the pitch. “But there’s a way to test this.” (SNL does, in fact, air without a tape delay.)
In Musk’s vision, he’d tell the audience he was going to put this to the test by taking “his cock out.”
“So I’m going to reach down into my pants… and then I pull out a baby rooster,” Musk explained. “Like, ‘This is my tiny cock.’”
Unfortunately, the joke didn’t end there.
“And then Kate McKinnon walks out,” added Jason Calacanis, co-host of the All-In Podcast, who was also present in the pitch meeting. “And she says, ‘Elon, I expected you would have a bigger cock.’”
McKinnon, meanwhile, would have been holding a cat.
“You can see where this is going,” Musk told the crowd
God he’s a fucking repulsive loser.
One of the richest people in the world has the humour of a 14 year old boy slipping through the cracks of the education system.
I guess it doesn’t really surprise me though, if only this money went to something good.
He’s truly a very sad pathetic human being.
Ugh.
Fucking child.
He is so advanced, he completed mental development at 10.
And that’s what didn’t get in.
His episode ranks up among the worst examples of episodes ruined by the host (another famously bad one was Steven Seagal).
SNL lets the host drive much of the theme of an episode, and his was a particularly bad stinker.
apologies. the other commenter was helpful but the article doesn’t do justice to the way he tells the story.
Yuck. All those people laughing in that over-the-top way at his desperate attempt at humor, delivered so smugly.
dude maybe you didn’t get it. see a rooster is called a cock, which is also slang for penis. get it? but that’s not all! a cat is also called a pussy, which is slang for vagina! get it? do you get it now? isn’t it funny? it’s very subtle but they’re talking about animals but it sounds like they’re talking about genitals… oh man that’s why they call him genius, who can even think of that‽
you know, except literally everyone when they were about 12 years old.
He would be the one asking all those sex questions on askreddit, it’s almost always a 12 would askg those, since his penis is permanently managed from a botched surgery, by a questionable surgeon
You’re absolutely right - the article did this no justice. The text is quite cringey on its own, but this is… Even more yikes.
His reaction to the dead deer in the pewdiepie episode all those years ago was what first caught my eye about this lol
I’m a killjoy: I doubt that this article is accurate, or if it even matters. I think articles like this exist to placate. I wouldn’t trust anything that a “senior administration official” tells Rolling Stone.
Absolutely, these looks like a pat on the back to everyone to make them feel better about Elon and their country.
Reeks of bullshit.
I’m a bit confused, cause Trump isn’t funny. It must be awful to be in a room with either of them.
Trump is funny to conservatives. The kind who laugh at the attack helicopter joke. Elon isn’t even funny to conservatives, which is kind of impressive.
Trump is best viewed as an insult comic
Im tired of pig fucking fascists regardless if they’re funny or not.
They are definitely NOT “tired” of his money though.
“behavior has caused several high-ranking officials to walk out of important meetings and sincerely question if he was high on drugs”
Bet you dollars to donuts that he is, so, yes.
People are leaking to get Musk kicked out. Imagine how ill-behaved one must be to get kicked out of that room.
Emphasis on the plural DRUGS.
The richest man in the world isn’t trying to help you. He’s helping himself to whatever he wants. Super bad idea.
I choose to see the good in Elon; he may have finally made the cheese hat too cringe to wear.
But at what cost?
At what cost?
To lose the Wisconsin Supreme Court election: $21m.
As a wisconsinite this deeply upsets me
Your culture is wrong, I’m sorry
You don’t like cheese?
Cheese is food not fashion!
¿Porque no los dos?
Can you eat the so-called cheese hats?
No, the cheese is a lie, the crimes never end
I have unironically seen an edible cheese hat. Check mate
I don’t believe anything what this Administration says.
Not to mention the constant k-hole he seems to be in
Trump administration photoshop in 3, 2, 1…
Probably, it’s an unconventional opinion, but I believe one may on their own will take any drug as long as they are responsible about it.
There’s the case of already awful person who doesn’t understand anything, futher exaggerated by their keta binge, who doesn’t even care about how they affect people’s lives. All red flags, like it’s a red corner in a soviet school. They shouldn’t be judged on their drug abuse first, but by how they are careless and stupid by default.
Being intoxicated while making important decisions that affect the future of the country doesn’t count as “responsible,” IMO.
One can argue what intoxication means there.
But sure, what Kneelon musk does is not unlike drunk driving.
