But someone like Musk, who is 53, engages in memes and stupid jokes. The ones who haven't progressed beyond 12 years old emotionally, I think they have a problem and insecurity. Musk changed his Twitter ID to a juvenile joke earlier today. I'm not offended, it's just stupid. Underneath it all, he's quite crafty and strategic. Some of it is performative and some of it is deep insecurity. He likes the power and he likes the attention.
