    He’s always been desperate for attention, but now the public sentiment has finally turned against him everything he does just looks sad.

    Oh and his memes were always stale AF.

      Elon just wants everyone to think he’s funny and smart.

      Unfortunately he’s so determined to be constantly visibly online it’s completely shattered that illusion.

        He’s just not funny.

        A lot of comedy comes from situational absurdity of unexpected actions, and there is nothing that kills the joke faster than to realize that they are not pretending. It was funny at first when a boomer (Ok, elder Gen X) billionaire started posting bad middle school humor on Twitter, it immediately stopped being funny when it turns out his real maturity level never got past middle school.

        Which is also why Trump is such a black hole for comedy, you just can’t make fun of him, because any absurd and ridiculous thing you can think of him doing, you would expect him to actually do it.
