This is not ‘cool’ or ‘edgy’, it’s just stupid

This is not an omen. This is just the brain of a 53 year old man-child raised on 4chan, who has somehow acquired more money and power than he knows what to do with.

Elon Musk has changed his X profile. His avatar is now Pepe the Frog, a mascot adopted by white supremacists. His name is a Latinisation of “Kek”, a phrase used by neo-Nazis. Musk has also backed AfD in Germany, the political home for racists. The man is telling us explicitly what he’s about.

Could someone please let him know his immaturity is exposed?

Also, haven’t all the cool kids moved on well past the “kekistan” nonsense? This is so 2015.
