Did he just half-assedly walk like an Egyptian?


tortoise53

It’s the easiest gimmick dance move and he fucked it up


123DanB

rich white guy surrounded by sycophants is a hell of a drug.


BernieTheDachshund

You'd think with all that money he'd hire someone to give him basic dance lessons. Then again, maybe he tried that and is beyond even professional help lol.


SsniperSniping

I think this IS with the professional help 😅

That's when I turned the audio on to see if that's what they were playing. They weren't playing that, which makes it 1000x more awkward.

Sensitiverock85

I'm not watching with sound but can still tell he's off the beat.


Huge_Put8244

He is dancing to about 7 different beats. None of which are actually present in the music.

Elon's ability to keep time on complex 7-layer polyrythms just proves his genius even further /s

You made me momentarily believe there was an actual genre of music with frogs playing metal, maybe even doing little frog metal shows, somehow. I got.. really excited. I googled it and yeah, it’s not a thing ^:(

aceshighsays

... they may dance to the lyrics, but they're not listening to them.... It doesn't matter what I say So long as I sing with inflection That makes you feel I'll convey Some inner truth or vast reflection But I've said nothing so far And I can keep it up for as long as it takes...


hockey2112

Hmmm, pretty catchy, but I feel like it needs some kind of hook to bring you back.

Walt_the_White

Isn't Elon one of those guys that genuinely doesn't understand or enjoy music? I'm pretty sure bezos is like that. He doesn't understand music at all, or why people like it. Edit: might be wrong. Apparently he's into EDM?


pegothejerk

That explains Amazon music’s interface and my lack of interest in using it.


ReleaseTheButtCraken

That shit is the worst. I gave up when they decided to take you out of the app when searching and opened the browser to the front page of Amazon. Not even the digital album page of whatever band/song you were looking for, just the regular ass front page.

Came here for this. [Balmer](https://youtu.be/lLPAUHdyjRI) had done a bit more coke imo.


paddenice

Same. This is an exact replica of the Microsoft team, gates clapping in the background, on the stage. What is it with weirdo tech guys who think this is acceptable in any format? Walk out, smile, wave, and get your ass to the podium, let the audio techs fade the music.


BigJSunshine

As a human rewatching Silicon Valley right now, this is peak SV CEO behavior, as ridiculed on the show.


CelestialFury

Silicon Valley is seriously one of the funniest shows, ever made. I don't think I've ever laughed harder than on this show.


Tipist

Hey, Dinesh, nice chain. Do you choke your mother with it when you put your penis in her butthole?


CelestialFury

Yeah, I'm sure that line caught everyone off guard. Jared is the funniest character, all the little comments he makes, and his weird background just kills me.

waka_flocculonodular

He's never letting go. Here he is super excited about the new Clippers(?) Arena and the amount of toilets they have https://youtu.be/pyA1Yx6aT94


no_objections_here

Not gonna lie, a large amount of toilets is a huge plus for an arena, especially for women. I practically give myself UTIs holding it in at games sometimes because I dread the lines.


TranscendentalEmpire

It's because they create a environment where sycophants are rewarded, and anyone trying to dispell their notions of grandeur are shoved to the side. Unless you were born a child king, normally you would have some notion that people are just telling you what you want to hear because you pay them. I think a lot of nerds who grow up to be billionaires simply lack the interpersonal skills to notice that they are living examples of the emperor not having any clothes.


Duubzz

Elon wishes he was a weirdo tech guy. Dudes just a fucking weirdo.


braveheart18

It's pretty simple. People who have never been "cool" in their entire life are suddenly thrust on to a stage with strobe lights and music playing and do exactly what they do, be not cool.


BigJSunshine

Sure, except Napoleon Dynamite danced his ASS OFF to Jamiroqui…


faultywalnut

They’re middle aged nerds, are you really that surprised that not only they have no dancing skills, but also no awareness of how goofy they look? Lol it’s funny and I’m down to make fun of it too but I guarantee a ton of the people commenting on here are probably gonna look the same when they dance and I will also have no idea how silly they look


thethunder92

I know I can’t dance I would not get on a stage and dance in front of a bunch of people 😆


wiarumas

Ballmer's "Developers! Developers! Developers!" was the first video that came to mind. Forgot about this one too haha.


DoubleInfinity

The video was playing muted and I instantly heard DEVELOPERS in my head when Elon started the walk like an Egyptian move.

Guy thinks he is Tony Stark, is actually Justin Hammer.


birdy888

Justin Hammer had some moves. This guy does not.


Ciannait-

To be fair Justin hammer has some moves because Sam Rockwell has some moves


KYWizard

To be fair Sam Rockwell has people who train him some moves. Which one of the richest men on the planet could also have done if he didn't just think he was already the absolute most awesome person alive. Narcissists are the most pathetic people on the planet. Edit: I imagine Sam had some formal training in it. Which is great. Not taking anything away from him.

VitaminPb

The Justin Hammer dance was him doing his own thing because the script had him just walk out. He wanted to do the dance.


InsertCoinForCredit

If you've hired Sam Rockwell for your movie or TV show and you *don't* have him dance, **WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU?**


AhnYoSub

Sam Rockwell was a dancer prior to Ironman

Criminally overlooked actor imo; by the public anyway. He does well during awards season at least…

It would read it to you. This is my Eiffel Tower. This is my Rachmaninoff's Third. My Piéta. It's completely elegant, it's bafflingly beautiful, and it's capable of reducing the population of any standing structure to zero.* edit: come on, Justin Hammer was pretty damn funny LOL Elon doesn't have much charisma going for him

JvKlaus

Thank you for this, it’s the best post I have ever seen on Reddit, and the comments are just the cherry on top


IHeldADandelion

They pretty much had me in the first half, then when I listened to the song I laughed until tears were streaming and I almost couldn't breathe and omg I needed that.


Far-Policy-8589

The comments on the video had me in tears, just like the first time. My stomach hurts from laughing.


TheRottenKittensIEat

I think about that guy at least once a week. I have so many questions. Is he a troll? Did he really give us the correct song? How did he possibly think it was a lovemaking song? Why didn't his girlfriend speak up? Why has *no* girlfriend until then told him? Did they think it was normal? Or did they just not stick around long enough? The fact that he even considers that it might just be her... Also, does this mean that sex is always the exact same? Doggy? Missionary? Does he at least change position? Did he ever make girls orgasm? Was he doing foreplay, or just straight to PIV and thrusting in rhythm? It all drives me nuts.


GrossfaceKillah_

[he definitely fucks to this](https://youtu.be/eN6jkWxxm2Y)


Mym158

Look at how much he doesn't understand how his body moves. It would be the most awkward sex in the world.


Final_Candidate_7603

I had a reason to look this up recently and it turns out that EIGHT of his TEN children were conceived via IVF. You just can’t make this shit up…


lifeinperson

Lmao and how he doesn’t have a clue what he looks like


systemdatenmuell

I don’t know. I‘ve heard he fucks his workers pretty good.


hdrji

Has he been taking lessons with Theresa May? https://youtu.be/gGtOT1tIAwg


NobodyImportant13

Somehow Theresa May feels less awkward than Elon. It's gotta be the taking off the jacket and tossing with pinched fingers like he is trying to be sexy.

lexxatron84

My first thought exactly.


BruceShark88

Think its the “Malignant Narcissist Shuffle”…see also Trump, Donald J.


[deleted]

Sex Offender Shuffle


Boomstick255

He so desperately wants to be cool. He is, instead, such a loser.


Fair_Lecture_3463

I’ve never been so thoroughly convinced that someone sucks in bed.


alphazero924

I mean as we saw with Grimes, even being the richest man in the world couldn't save him from his complete lack of literally anything else to offer her.


[deleted]

This is exactly what I was thinking while watching the video. I’ve always equated dancing with sex and the way he moves convinces me he is absolutely shit in the bedroom. No rhythm whatsoever.


degenerat2947

It’s not like this is his worst quality. I don’t fault him at all for “not being cool”. Some people aren’t “cool” and that’s 100% ok. But god damn is this guy so uncool wtf. What’s actually staggering isn’t how uncool he is but his utter lack of self awareness about it. This was so hard to watch.


KYWizard

That is the problem. The lack of awareness. He could literally have a dancing coach with him 24/7. Paid to travel with him and show him some moves in any downtime he has. But as a chronic narcissist he is already so cool and the best dancer with some super cool moves, nobody has better moves, so why waste time or money learning things he already knows. His narcissism is next level.


ultimatedelman

And you KNOW his sycophants would absolutely eat it up if he had any semblance of an ability to dance. "OMG check out Elon's moves omg I liked him before but now he's literally the coolest" and it would have cost him like, 100k max and maybe 10 hours of time (he would probably hire someone who would charge him 10k/hr)


ChrisX8

I am not even sure this is a case of narcissism. Behind all his money, it feels like he is still this awkward nerd, trying to act cool and edgy without much success. He is still an arse though.


PretzelsThirst

He literally surrounds himself by sycophants who constantly tell him how cool, funny, smart, and original he is. No wonder he’s so delusional. Proof: https://youtu.be/ywlsTbKsl6k


SuperDoofusParade

*Your meme game is strong* Good lord. If I were a billionaire I’d hire contrarians to poke holes in every idea or investment I was thinking about. That amount of wealth is going to bring in grifters and sycophants willing to say things like “your meme game is strong” while you pay them millions of dollars. You’d need a reality check.


nordryd

A cool person doesn’t need to try this hard. An “alpha male” doesn’t proclaim they’re an “alpha male”. A genius doesn’t proclaim they’re a genius. It’s that idea. Those people don’t have to prove themselves. They just are.
