Elon Musk has somehow managed to out-cringe himself

Elon Musk.

At this point, you don’t need to say more than that to make people cringe, and yet we will say more, because Musk has once again outdone himself:

Elon Musk: Brain genius

The video above comes from his latest conversation with Joe Rogan. That conversation goes a little like this:

Elon Musk: I was a hero of the left, it’s fair to say.

Joe Rogan: It was a thing. If you drove a Tesla, it showed that you were environmentally conscious, and you were on the right side.

Elon Musk: Yeah. Yeah. I mean, I’m still the same human. I didn’t, like, have a brain transplant between, you know, since, in like three years ago, you know.

While Musk hasn’t had a brain transplant, his political positions are wildly at odds with how he presented himself a few years ago. For instance, although he still thinks of himself as a ‘centrist’, he supports far-right activists like Tommy Robinson:


Musk supports Robinson so much that he literally paid for his recent legal defence.

Another thing to note is that while Musk has the same brain, that brain clearly isn’t doing so well. This is easy to see when you compare older interviews to videos from this year:

Is this the result of his alleged drug use?

We don’t know, but it’s certainly evidence he’s not half the man he used to be.

The interview continued as follows:

Joe Rogan: That’s my favourite bumper sticker that people put on Teslas now: ‘I bought this before Elon went crazy’.

After some waffle, Musk demonstrated his inability to string a sentence together:

Elon Musk: But the bumper sticker should read, there should be an addendum to the bumper sticker. It’s like, I bought this car before Elon turned crazy. Actually, now I realise he’s not crazy, and I’ve seen the light. 

Elon, you literally did a fucking Nazi salute — what light do you think people are seeing?

Gestures aside, he also ran the so-called Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) — an endeavour, which resulted in abject failure. Despite this very public humiliation, Reform want to import DOGE to the UK:

After he left office, Musk was literally the “least popular public figure in America“. He hasn’t done anything to reverse that, but he probably thinks otherwise because he’s holed up on Twitter — his very own Hitler bunker — a website which is algorithmically designed to promote people who suck up to him:

Loser

At the end of his latest interview, Musk said:

Yeah, that old saying where it’s really easy to fool somebody, but it’s almost impossible to convince someone that they were fooled.

There’s another saying Musk should look to instead, which is this:

You can fool all of the people some of the time, and you can fool Joe Rogan all of the time, but you can’t fool all of the people all of the time.

Musk became too famous for his grift, and now he’s fooling no one besides the suck ups.
