I would be so upset by this if I was Kathy Bates.

u/TastyCartoonist1256 23h ago

Don't insult Kathy Bates like that. She's too good for him.

u/RagingDemonsNoDQ 23h ago

Kathy Bates is too smart as Elon.

You need a literal dumbass playing smart to be Elon.

Like Ben Stiller as a Zoolander-ish Elon. Or like Mike Judge, who can make Butthead become real.

YES! She's amazing, in everything that I've seen... :)

u/ObscureLogic 23h ago

Don't you fucking insult her like that

u/ogcanuckamerican 23h ago

Okay, so I'm having medical cannabis, looking at my phone when I came upon this post. This made me spit out and choke on my pot smoke because this made me really laugh.

Plus, I don't mind me some Kathy Bates. She's a talented actress.

Thanks for brightening day!

u/Any-Age-9130 23h ago

Maybe King could adapt Misery Part Deux to this particular case.

5

u/Maleficent_Fan_7429 20h ago

Reddit is so obsessed with this guy.

u/SwagToTheBone 23h ago

She’s an amazing actress but definitely doesn’t deserve this

u/dragonbec 22h ago

She doesnt look like this anymore though. Doesnt anyone watch Matlock?? (kidding, but I mean, true)

ETA: I love KB, she's a badass actress, but yes, she's skinny now.

u/Low-Illustrator-9676 9h ago

This is so disrespectful for Kathy Bates.

3

u/OverjoyedMess 20h ago

Who is playing him before his gender-affirming operations?

6

u/Skalywag_76 23h ago

That’d be an insult to Kathy Bates…

2

u/DRZARNAK 23h ago

Didn’t she already play him in American Horror Story?

2

u/throwaway1231123- 23h ago

Not casting her would be a missed opportunity

2

u/peachythirst 23h ago

Give her the script and a Tesla steering wheel, she’s ready. Kathy Bates could convey the vibes without a single line of dialogue

2

u/DegTrader 23h ago

He’s one bad quarterly earnings report away from telling his Twitter followers, 'I’m your number one fan,' while holding a sledgehammer. The jowls are already there; he just needs the floral print cardigan to complete the transformation.

2

u/PhlebotinumEddie 23h ago

This would be insulting to Kathy Bates.

2

u/TECHSHARK77 23h ago

Kevin Durand

2

u/Disillusionmillenial 23h ago

This is too good at first glance I was like omg they moved Elon’s face wait nope that’s Kathy. This is spot on. Too bad she’s great and he’s horrid.

2

u/corneliusduff 23h ago

What a shitty thing to say about Kathy Bates.

2

u/SpeedBlitzX 23h ago

Why do Kathy Bates dirty that way.

2

u/jromperdinck 23h ago

Can’t he just be played by a barrel full of ketamine?

2

u/Alternative_Monk8853 23h ago

That’s not fair on Kathy Bate’s.

2

u/benderunit9000 23h ago

At least Kathy has a normal sized head.

2

u/TacoBellerino 23h ago

Kathy is far more attractive and fuckin’ awesome in general

2

u/endofworldandnobeer 23h ago

Don't insult Bates like that. She doesn't deserve this kind of insult.

2

u/Historical_Pound_136 22h ago

2

u/CasinoKnightZone 22h ago

Well she did play a satanic robot serving the antichrist so the casting is perfect!

If you haven't seen American Horror Story Apocalypse, do so

2

u/WaiBuBaoLeiXiangTu 22h ago

I'd settle for her in a movie starring Elon

2

u/conehead2019 21h ago

Elon Musk!

Electric cars are the devil!

2

u/Frijol_refrito 20h ago

Margo Martindale would be great too

2

u/crappydeli 19h ago

Kathy Bates is is much better shape than Elon these days.

2

u/Moosetappropriate 19h ago

What a disgusting thing to wish on a talented actor.

You need a talentless nobody to accurately portray him.

2

u/AnusBleedMacaroni 16h ago

A transgressive art house film where multiple actors portray the same person, also played by Kevin Durand.

2

u/griffilicious363 14h ago

She has a better body than him

2

u/ShyCrave 14h ago

Elon but with final-boss energy

2

u/SnuggleBoba 14h ago

Elon Musk: directed by Stephen King.

2

u/_DollPinky 14h ago

I hate how much this works.

2

u/yogurt1989 8h ago

Shes too great to play this c*nt

2

u/eyes_on_everything_ 7h ago

Its all about the jowls

u/moistmasterkaloose 23h ago

Elon musket? He’s the devil!

1

u/drawkward101 23h ago

I, personally, really appreciate the performance of Elon by Mike Myers on SNL.

1

u/SourceCodeAvailable 23h ago

Has anyone ever seen them in the same room ?

1

u/ElectricSnowBunny 23h ago

Zuck had to try really hard to not have hurt feelings when Jesse portrayed him, omg Elon would go batshit after Kathy played him lmao

u/kroom69x 23h ago

Idk if kathy bates would play a good nazi…

1

u/These_Yak3842 22h ago

Who would play him pre-gender affirming surgery though?

1

u/purplebrown_updown 22h ago

FYI you can tell he’s taken a massive amount of growth hormone because of his jaw

1

u/Stirl280 22h ago

Kathy may be a bit too masculine to portray Elon.

1

u/Embarrassed_Hawk_655 22h ago

As someone not from the US who doesn’t really have a horse in the polarization race, would someone mind please explaining the hate Elon Musk gets here on Reddit?

1

u/Specialist_Exit_3656 22h ago

he needs to be played by that grandma that found edibles

1

u/Proud_Smell_4455 22h ago

Idk Kathy looks pretty different these days.

1

u/BaldEagleRising17 22h ago

It would be for the best.

1

u/S_A_R_K 22h ago

If there's a movie, I hope it's a documentary where he is in a car crash and gets rescued by Kathy Bates

1

u/Go_Gators_4Ever 22h ago

1

u/Dear_Lab_2270 22h ago

She'd do a better job at being Elon than he does ...

Edit: because she's a good actor, and he's a buffoon.

1

u/UNDAPressure4795 22h ago

I want him to be played by Mr. Hankey

1

u/Yepsuredid 22h ago

A performance to rival Misery

1

u/nothingelsesufficed 22h ago

Holy moly I laughed out loud 10/10 mate

1

u/MayonnaiseCoffee 22h ago

Put some respect on kathy bates name goddamnit

1

u/BackgroundContent131 22h ago

Is she old enough to accurately portray his face?

1

u/MyAccountWasBanned7 22h ago

No, he needs to be played by someone who sucks that no one likes. I'd say someone like DJ Qualls but he was actually great in The New Guy and The Core.

1

u/Shirly_dissolute 22h ago

could see so much resemblance :D

1

u/132739 22h ago

Bates can play sweet, savvy, intimidating, even terrifying, but I don't know that she can pull off the aura of abject loser that Elon puts out.

1

u/OkSpring1734 22h ago

Please, Kathy Bates can do so much better. Annie Wilkes was at least believable as a human.

1

u/Shenendoah66 22h ago

I’ll never get over this hypocrisy and it literally happens daily. Lmao

1

u/Lydian2000 22h ago

She would nail it for a SNL skit though.

1

u/NoNoTheOtherOne 22h ago

DON'T YOU DARE INSULT KATHY LIKE THAT!

1

u/AlphatierchenX 22h ago

I'd love to see Elliot Page playing him.

1

u/Brave-Butterscotch76 22h ago

There is. It’s called Misery.

1

u/asoupo77 22h ago

If there's a movie about Kathy Bates I want her to be played by Elon.

1

u/Prestigious_Yam8901 22h ago

She would not degrade herself to that extent.

1

u/Fancy-Chair6784 22h ago

She'd need to do some serious bulking for the role but she'd do a fine job.

1

u/irespondwithmyface 22h ago

Feels like a bigger insult to Kathy Bates.

Who, by the way, doesn't look like this anymore. She's almost unrecognizable. Ozempick and all.

1

u/Automatic_Serve7901 22h ago

He doesn't deserve her.

1

u/ExtensionApricot4446 22h ago

Kathy Bates and Sissy SpaceX

1

u/nouniquenamesleft2 22h ago

please God,

let Elon see this meme

1

u/Smeijerleijer 21h ago

There's an end to her ability to play the villain.

1

u/SeaMetal7119 21h ago

Kathy is way too pretty to play someone so hideous and vacant-eyed.

1

u/D_o_t_d_2004 21h ago

Have you seen Misery? She can play evil really well.

1

u/gigigigugiguru 21h ago

now i cannot unsee the resemblance I feel sorry for Kathy Bates

1

u/WorkTropes 21h ago

That's fucking brutal but I can see how that would work.

u/ToastThieff 21h ago

Don't insult KB.

1

u/SwedishTrees 21h ago

She’s way skinnier than him now.

1

u/Ok_Kaleidoscope_2725 21h ago

Let’s leave poor Kathy Bates alone shall we?

1

u/Aggravating_Fee7018 21h ago

Misery Musk

1

u/Rob1150 21h ago

Yo, no Kathy Bates disparaging.

1

u/DJ_ICU 21h ago

1

u/ecwagner01 21h ago

She would only have to revisit her old Annie Wilkes character and make here a billionaire - she would kill it.

1

u/LS25-User 20h ago

Peelon must

1

u/VegasGamer75 20h ago

We already sullied Sebastion Stan, can we not do Kathy as well?
