Just shows his intellectual level.

This violates the terms-of-use for most social networks that demand we use our real names.

Proof that Musk doesn't think rules apply to him.

X lost 72% after Musk bought it. Seems that his form of truth isn't really desired by most people.

I have no problem with people using aliases online, provided they aren't abusing their anonymous standing AND their govt isn't out to arrest them for it.

"Kek" is also a reference to a "virtual white nationalist god," the nonprofit Southern Poverty Law Center told AFP, adding that Roman male images have been used by white nationalist groups such as Identity Evropa.

This is some 4-chan level trollery, but Musk has used his position to monetize it with his memecoin like this and DOGE.

Elon Musk has adopted a new online persona, sparking a flood of speculation online

I wonder why Musk has taken to wearing his host of children like human shields?

"Flummoxes"? No, I don't think so. "Causes the internet to roll its collective eyes and bolsters their view that all the money in the world can't buy you happiness".

Musk also just got slapped by the MAGA people who are against H-1B Visas

BTW, this is what Trump previously said about H-1B Visas on a Republican Presidential debate:

“H1B is very very bad for our workers. It’s very bad for business. It’s bad for our workers. It’s unfair for our workers. And we should end it.” — @realDonaldTrump

Taken too seriously by most.

Taken too seriously by most.

With all the crazy statements made by Musk and Trump, it is difficult to know what is satire and what they truly believe. As facts have very little to do with Trump's decisions, we are all still confused - those who don't blindly trust a liar like Trump. I want a president who knows that words can harm people, not someone who spouts nonsense constantly.

the technical term for musk’s condition is “lost his marbles.”

he’s having a psychiatric event and in need of intervention.

Elon Musk adopted the moniker "Kekius Maximus" 

Elon Musk is the living breath example of proximus egomet mihi.

A term Musk was born with.

Trump's use of Pepe the Frog may just be down to his ignorance and stupidity, and he thinks it's popular with his most hardcore fans. It is, but that's because they're extreme racists.

When used politically, Pepe is a far right symbol.

That depends on your outlook, I feel the same about most Democrats

Musk and Trump are individuals. Democrats are a group and you haven't met all of them to make a sweeping judgment.

Musk and Trump both have serious personality traits expressed by their behaviors.

A Trump-Musk bromance.

Trump and Musk are dangerous narcissists.

Then apply that to every single Democrat in congress right now.

and you haven't met all of them to make a sweeping judgment.

You have not met Trump or Musk either and you make a clear judgement, no difference.

Musk and Trump both have serious personality traits expressed by their behaviors.

As do the vast majority of Democrat individuals, take your pick.

A Trump-Musk bromance.

Don't see that as a bad thing.

Trump and Musk are dangerous narcissists.

Most of the U.S. feels the same about the Dems, that’s why they’re about to get their walking papers

You have not met Trump or Musk either and you make a clear judgement, no difference.

Nor have you.

48% voted for the Democrats. That is almost half of them.
