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.

[–] ZeroCool@slrpnk.net 137 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.

[–] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.world 66 points 1 month ago (1 children)

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.

[–] affiliate@lemmy.world 28 points 1 month ago (1 children)

i am not having fun after hearing that fact

[–] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.world 31 points 1 month ago (1 children)

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

[–] affiliate@lemmy.world 15 points 1 month ago

thank you. that fact was much more fun

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.

[–] ChickenLadyLovesLife@lemmy.world 72 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (7 children)

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.

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

[–] AbidanYre@lemmy.world 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.

[–] halcyoncmdr@lemmy.world 41 points 1 month ago (1 children)

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

[–] WindyRebel@lemmy.world 17 points 1 month ago

It did, according to the article linked in @FlyingSquid@lemmy.world’s post.

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

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.

[–] fluckx@lemmy.world 18 points 1 month ago

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

[–] drunkpostdisaster@lemmy.world 15 points 1 month ago

Would have been funny as fuck if he caught a round mid jump
