Elon wants to be both rich and cool. He was close for a bit when he had a PR team to manage his image, so for a while folks thought he was on some Tony Stark shit. Then he canned the PR guys.
He didn’t get rich from being cool, so when he tries to be cool he now ends out just displaying how deeply uncool he is. Like a dad asking which character is Mario when you’re playing Lethal Company, or showing you a “cool new meme” and its the badger song.
Because he’s stupid rich he gets people willing to slob his knob anyhow.
If I was stupid rich I’d be doing weird rich people shit like building a floating collosseum in the middle of the ocean and pay per viewing death matches between convicts, not trying to get likes on twitter for 10 year old boomer memes.
