He's too concerned about people not getting it. If he had just gone with "Misanthropic Thunder" or even "MisanThropic Thunder" he may have even getting a wry 'heh' out of meme but he always preemptively explains the joke and completely punctures the humor in the process, because he doesn't have The Heart of a Poster

I believe he came up -or more likely stole- a bit of word play, and didn't really understand that you need to actually put it into some sort of context and make a joke, to actually be considered clever. Musk not remotely understanding humor certainly isn't a new symptom.

but what is he even commenting on anyway. what is he characterising as misanthropic, or seeking to skewer as misanthropic and why is a reference to the movie Tropic Thunder apt

What are you talking about, it's a weak pun with Elon's name on it, showcasing the strength of his meme game. What have your demands for things like "context," "thematic consistency" and "actual humor" earned you?

Hammerite posted:but what is he even commenting on anyway. what is he characterising as misanthropic, or seeking to skewer as misanthropic and why is a reference to the movie Tropic Thunder apt Yeah absolutely nothing. which is why it doesn't really work. Like I'm pretty sure he knows that people generally think people who are good are puns and word play are smart, so he's attempting it, very badly, because as you say, you need context for it to actually be clever. Just check the post before this was about Miscsoft AI stuff and the one directly after was: https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1636264167681163264 So possibly he's on more drugs than usually as well.

Elon desperately wants to be Dril and it's killing him that no amount of money, stealing jokes, or hiring ghost writers will actually make that happen. You can just taste the despair in those "jokes"

"Hey guys look at me I thought of a pun" Elon dude this isn't the username ideas thread, you have to think of a joke to put the pun in or it just comes across as stupid Comedians aren't lacking in material because your giant brain isn't helping come up with new puns for them to harvest out of the copious, copious wrinkles

That's 17,600 lifetimes(assuming 50 years worked before retirement) of making 50,000 a year if you want a more relatable number. You know, assuming you never spend a dime of any of it. All of it set ablaze because he wanted to make people see how incredibly

This whole discussion makes no sense because it assumes the word intelligence would have anything to do with musk, even in an insulting manner.

It’s like he read a book on puns and the only thing he took away from it was “thing sound like other thing.” Where’s the rest of the joke Elon? Oh, it’s you

That's a lot of money to make, anyone on that kind of wage could reasonably be considered rich. Not top-of-the-food-chain rich, but reasonably well off. Someone who made that much money every year for the entirety of human history would have around one billion dollars. 2.3% of the amount of money Elon Musk spent making sure people see his tweets as Twitter dies.

Elon was just pure celebrity idolatry building him up.

Hey, he didn't steal the joke. He just kept the joke after the divorce. It was originally Grimes' joke. From 2019.
