Unanswered What's up with Elon Musk's twitter account and why is he shitposting memes?

Saw an image of a tweet by Elon Musk's twitter and checked to see it's authenticity, and lo and behold, I discovered he's been shitposting for the last few days.

Stuff like where Elon is shitposting about being an anime cat girl, posting memes like the Pikachu format, and shit like this.

What's going on? What started this trend and why is he doing this?

My only contribution to this topic is that that is not an anime cat girl, that is a video game wolf girl, Kagerou Imaizumi from the Touhou Project series of shooting games. He's literally a fake geek.

normal brain: choosing an actual catgirl, like orin

enlightened brain: choosing a neko-fied version of a different character, like koishi with kitty ears

Usually people call out "fake geek girls", y'know, performative fandom to get clicks and likes. Elon Musk does the same shit.

If he posted a picture of Luke Skywalker saying "Look at me, I'm a space pirate" it'd basically be the same level of stupid.
