Finding his popularity waning among Millennials and Gen Z, Elon Musk appears to be courting conservative clout with several recent actions.

In his latest, Musk took a swipe at the Democratic party. Claiming his own values remain unchanged, Musk intimated liberals in general have run to the far left leaving him with more in common with Republicans than the "woke progressives."


The billionaire illustrated his point with a graphic on Twitter.

After writer Tim Urban added an explanation claiming the "far left" held the rest of their liberal counterparts hostage through fear, Musk pulled the "I even voted for Obama" card.



People had little tolerance for Musk's complaints or Urban's justification for them.

People asked which policies the "culturally powerful" enacted.





Many pointed out the complaint had less to do with out of control woke progressives and more to do with a billionaire's discomfort with accountability.






Others pointed out the policies and laws being pushed by Republicans had real world consequences beyond making Musk or Urban "feel homeless."





Musk has drawn increasing criticism from young people who often cite his unfulfilled promises—like fixing the Flint water crisis and ending world hunger—and his out of touch privilege and entitlement.

In response, Musk has increasingly criticized "wokeness" and courted conservatives. Whether it signals a change in his personal ideology or just a desire to be liked is unclear.

A 'Fake Egg' Prank Targeting Kids Is Trending On TikTok—But Not Everyone Thinks It's Funny

In a recent TikTok trend, people are presenting young children with "fake eggs" and crushing the egg in their hands to show that the eggs are fake.

In order for this trend to work, the person has to poke a hole into each end of the egg to drain it of its yolk and let the shell dry, so it becomes more brittle and easy to crush, making the prank more believable.

Guy Sparks Debate After Abandoning Girlfriend In Economy While He Booked Himself A First Class Seat On Flight

It's really hard to watch while someone is clearly not being treated well enough by their partner, and instead of accepting the reality check for what it is, they spend their time digging their heels in deeper and defending their partner's honor.

That was certainly true for TikToker Nicole Vawter, or @nicmarievee, anyway, when fellow TikTokers called her partner out on selfishly booking himself a first class seat while his long-time girlfriend sat back in economy.

You know what they say: if a person has to point out how nice they are, they probably aren't really all that nice.

Actions tend to speak louder than words, with an affinity for niceness and kindness being among the best examples. When a person is truly nice and kind, it will come through in their daily attitude and actions without them having to say anything at all.
