Elon Musk

The billionaire so terrified of being ordinary, he became a caricature of extraordinary

Published: November 27, 2025

The Performance: Richest man alive, arguing with strangers at 3am on his own platform. Bought Twitter for $44 billion to… shitpost and ban critics. Dating celebrities, making designer babies, cosplaying Tony Stark. Every move screams: “Look how NOT boring I am!”

The man with infinite resources and zero peace.

The Product: Tesla isn’t selling cars - it’s selling anti-skuf identity. “You’re not a suburban dad in a Honda, you’re a tech visionary!” SpaceX, Neuralink, Boring Company - toys that let office skufs LARP as futurists from their couches.

He cracked the code: sell meaning to meaning-starved masses. Subscriptions to hope.

The System: Media needs him - he generates clicks. Wall Street needs him - retail investors gambling on every tweet. Culture needs him - someone to worship or hate. Everyone profits from the Elon show.

Tesla valued higher than all automakers combined despite making 2% of cars. It’s not a company, it’s a cult with a stock ticker.

The skuf truth: Built an empire selling dreams to skufs while becoming the most exhausted skuf of all - the one who can never stop performing. Not alpha behavior. Addiction to attention.

How many hours have you spent consuming his content instead of building your own?
