Elon is the nerd kid that got invited to sit with the cool kids, but only because they wanted them to do their homework for them.
Now the homework is handed in and the Elon is still hanging around them and sitting at their table because he has no idea they were using him.
He won't get the hints that they despise him untill one of them turns to his face and openly says "fuck off nerd, we never liked you"
Did you seriously just call the weirdest, fattest, stupidest, orangest, most unintelligible, batshit crazy, toupee wearing buffoon "the cool kid"? For real?
It works. Most "cool kids" aren't really, they just use (often misplaced) confidence and attract others to praise or envy them. Then when you get to the real world the rules are similar but still vastly different. Some adapt, some don't. Also contrary to TV, not everyone is even interested in the "cool kids."
Some never were interested, not in a weird hipster way, but just in a "I don't get it" way. Lots of weird right wingers think Trump is cool for some reason. Aside from hate and spite, I don't really get it. He's funny to mock, but I would never want a clown to lead me.
I will never understand how anyone can look at trump and see anything other than a spoiled rotten, petulant, trust fund baby. I guess if being stupid, looking stupid, and having a stupid attitude is cool, then trump is the coolest.
