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.

    I said out loud while watching it that he’s got all the charm of an awkward 12 year old boy

      Musk and Trump are people who never developed. They seem like children because they stopped growing somewhere in elementary school.

        Being financially insulated from the consequences of their own actions via their wealthy parents seems to have an effect on stunting their emotional development prematurely. Trump and Musk are both sad losers with more money than sense.

        The billionaire class must be abolished.

          I do believe that Trump and his entourage were genuinely shocked about the amount of attention his personal life would get after declaring his candidacy. That they’d be able to carry on like normal.

      No wonder Trump likes him. He must think he’s like Jeffrey Epstein reincarnated or something.
