    Feels like body shaming. Elon sucks, but idk shirts are short sometimes?

    I disagree with Elon’s whole act, so it’s hard to feel bad for him.

      They are zooming to his face, not shirt/belly. I don’t think this is even a subconscious body shaming by OP

        Fair. Idk why I even bother to react. It’s meant to make people angry. This one feels particularly lame because it’s just Elon in an awkward pose. Anyone can be awkward in a still photo. I guess I mentally file this one along side those ones where people try to make Biden hugging/kissing a baby awkward, or Trump hugging/kissing a baby awkward. It’s a thing candidates do. Politics guy has his arms upward and it’s showing his belly? How awful.

        Let’s hate people like Elon for things they say and do. Not because they look sorta dumb in a still photo. Am I asking too much?

          Literally jumping up and down while waving your arms in support of trump of all people is what people think is dumb. Thats something he did. Youre the only person whos bringing up how he looks.

            Yes and I agree. Elon sucks. Trump sucks. But clearly it’s a still photo meant to capture the awkwardness of his belly. The “story” is that Elon supports Trump to the tune of $45 million a month. But if that’s what this post was about they would have mentioned it.

              I didn’t notice his belly at all, and the second photo doesn’t even include his stomach… I noticed his expression whilst he praised Trump lol

              That’s all I noticed…

              I think you might have some body issues or something thats causing you to hyperfixate on his belly. Literally no other comment has even mentioned it. All the comments are focusing on his ridiculous expression and the absurdity of a grown man worth billions of dollars jumping up and down like a failing children’s entertainer trying to work up some excitement from the crowd.

              I think it’s evocative of Tom Cruise jumping all over Oprah’s couches: we are supposed to read it as Musk is unhinged.

              I don’t believe this has anything to do with his physical aspects. I am a woman, and I just zoomed in on his shirt to try to read it, the body didn’t register as abnormal to me. (It’s not.) Those dead eyes though…

              TLDR: Loathe Musk for his mind, dgaf about his body.

              There’s no story, it’s a cringe photo of two known scammers.

              That you focus so much on the belly when it’s not the focus of the post says more about your own biases than anything else.

      The man is a billionaire. He can afford to have his clothes tailored. He has no excuse to look badly dressed regardless his body type.
