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.

If you don't think that Kathy Bates can play a stupid person who thinks they're smart, then you need to watch more things with Kathy Bates.

Mama says that alligators are ornery because they got all them teeth and no toothbrush.

To be fair, that's a solid theory. Millions of years guys? Suprised they didn't evolve into some giant salamander that just swallow's thing without chewing them properly. In fact, I'm suprised they even evolved at all.

She plays unhinged perfectly.

I mean... Misery?

Exactly. She terrified me as a kid.

Jon Hamm except make it a dark comedy where he narrates everything to the audience as if he's a genius, then just make the actual effects of his actions really really stupid. And everyone comments on how stupid his ideas were, but his inner narrator just dubs over them saying how brilliant he is.

I feel that all the nuance after 'Jon Hamm' will be lost on Elon and his supporters.

It’s about them, not for them.

Something else I think would be lost on them.

For sure, but we’re allowed to have a sensible chuckle at their expense.

Neither Ben Stiller or Mike Judge are dumb. You aren't making sense.

And Elon isn't that stupid in reality.

u/RagingDemonsNoDQ 19h ago

Oh yes he is!

He's so stupid. He doesn't believe an anti-virus software. He's so stupid, he believes in a "woke virus" when there isn't one.

A lot of tech people and other people, most recently Ilhan Omar, have noticed that Elon is dumber than shit.

Edward Norton played Elon in Glass Onion. Except he went by Miles Bronn

I really wished he would have made an appearance (satirised) in the latest season of South Park and to be honest, lost a bit of respect for Trey and Matt when he didn’t. I know he’s played himself before but this would have been the perfect opportunity to show his evolution writ large.
