Ikr. It's not even that bad. Other than the hair I'd totally rock that, especially if i'm rich like him, where he can literally set trends with his style if he wanted.
was this a costume for an event? or his daily fashion? people are allowed to present as goth, this isn't the 1000th most embarrassing thing he's done.
maybe try to find a picture of him interacting with one of his offspring or wives? or a picture of him actually working as an engineer? or doing something good for those less fortunate? or participating with the greater community? or expressing empathy for a tragedy?
Honestly, it’s not that bad. The only reason that so many people have latched on to it is because of how hard Elon has tried to make it go away. It’s a textbook example of the Streisand Effect.
No it was for a costume party. He tweeted it and his tweet is still up. The part of him wanting it removed is made up. I don't like the guy but this gets posted constantly online and is easily shown to be false.

I just like how they try so hard to purge a bad photo and that just makes it immortal.

What's the context on this photo? Why did he try to remove it from the internet?
Edit: thanks 👍
Rusty@lemmy.ca · 25 pts · 3y
According to his tweet he wore it to a party in 2012. And the tweet is still there, so the part about removing it from the internet is just a meme.

He worried it might one day show up on Lemmy and that he would feel judged by the community.
