Of all the memes done to death by boring manchildren like this, I think only Pepe has gone through a longer and worse dragging through the chud mud. Feels bad, man.

I don't think the right realizes that this kind of self-conscious, attention-baiting, tryhard stuff gets them easily clocked as losers. They remind me of the uncool guys in middle school who always had their hands in their pockets because they were too afraid of moving them wrong, and would call any expression of unbridled enthusiasm "gay" because they resented not feeling like they had the social permission for similar expression.
Yeah, was uncomfortable in my skin and anxious most of the time and kept my hands in my pockets cuz I didn't know what else to do with them. Always hoped others didn't notice too much and you're shattering the illusion I sustained for at least a decade...
That in itself is not bad, it is that in conjunction with bullying others to sustain the facade to yourself that you are cool that is bad. Everyone does it to some extent but people like Elon never grew out of it or did any self-searching to diffuse their need for self-consciously seeking strangers' approval.
I've never heard of this pockets thing. Huh
It's people uncomfortable in their own skin and always wondering where they are on the social totem pole assuaging their anxieties by pantomiming what they have seen cooler people do, edit: but mainly just by picking on the kids they felt to be weaker (even those with some disability) or mock any sincerity they didn't feel like they had the social permission to express

this just sounds like autism, though I'm pretty sure "autistic = loser" isn't the point you're trying to make
I guess I should add that unlike those with autism they also would pick on kids less popular than them, spread fake rumors to make people pariahs and elevate their own social status comparatively, and call every act of unbridled enthusiasm by anyone "gay" as well.
Musk always reminds me of a guy I went to high school with that was something like a glorified ballboy for the basketball team, but acted like he was ACTUALLY a player
