I find Musk to be a very unique cow because I don't think I've ever seen a public figure be so obsessed with being seen as unironically "cool" and "hip".
The thread has no doubt covered everything cringe about him, but as thread tax I'll bring up his complete lack of creativity and dependence on movies for all his product names post-Tesla (not that Tesla was his product either):
"Starship", "Optimus", "Cybertruck", "Werobot", "Robotaxi", "Hyperloop", "Starlink".
All the names give off the vibe of "hey remember that thing from that movie, I'm making it real. Please love me"
Rather than looking at problems that need solutions, he obviously looks to movies for inspiration on his products, as if he's only concerned with recreating things from the movies that people recognize. I think rather than say, solving world hunger in a realistic way (we know this because he asked for a solution, was presented with one and just ignored it), Musk would prefer to be the "inventor" of the "replicator from Start Trek", solely because people know what a replicator is and that would make him him look cool.
You can also tell this by the number of times he's said "it'll be just like Skynet/Blade Runner/Matrix/other 80s/90s movie thing".
It's just hard to fathom a 50 year old, let alone a 50 yo billionaire, being so pathetic and desperate for attention.
Also I'm surprised the board of Tesla let him get away with basing the names of the cars on "S3XY". Not even on the basis of it being inappropriate but just for how embarrassing it is for a man in his 40s to think this is in any way funny or cool.
