The way he asked was super cringy too. Like someone who has never been invited to an event before.

If I could get just one message to Elon, that I know he would recieve:

No matter how much money you have, no matter how hard you try, no matter how many people you surround yourself with, you are a fucking loser. we all think that. The people that don't act like it, they think it too, but they want your money. But we all think it you creep.

Society suffers because some South African rich kid can't handle the fact that he's a humongous dork. It's absolutely wild.

And being a dork isn't even the problem. I'm a big dork. I like video games and computer nerd stuff. The problem is that incel culture overlaps heavily with nerd culture. Dorks with poor social skills think that it empowers them while it actually just exacerbates and reinforces their insecurities, and stops their emotional development.

His concept of "cool" never got past that 4chan edgelord phase, and he doesn't even realize how pathetically embarrassing it is.

This is so real. Dude lives perpetually in 2010 when most people thought he was Tony Stark, which he makes obvious today with his tantrums when anyone calls him out for what he truly is.

The thing that truly makes me sick about him is how much his buffoonery aids as a cloak to all the other billionaires we don’t know of and don’t talk about.

Great news! This is chat on everyone of his live streams

That's how you know it's true.
