Elon Musk's Self-Deprecating Humor at CPAC: 'I Am Become Meme'

Elon Musk recently made headlines at the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) in Washington, D.C. The Tesla and SpaceX CEO appeared alongside Newsmax host Rob Schmitt, donning a T-shirt with the phrase "I’m not procrastinating, I’m doing side quests" and wielding a symbolic "chainsaw for bureaucracy" handed to him by Argentine President Javier Milei, highlighting his opposition to government spending. This is prepared by SSP.
During the event, Musk remarked on his identity as a meme, telling an amused audience, "I am become meme." He elaborated on this sentiment with Schmitt, explaining, "I’m living the meme. Doge started as a meme, and now it’s real—crazy, but cool." His humorous take swiftly spread across social media, earning admiration for his wit.
Simultaneously, Musk faced pressing personal issues, as his ex-partner Grimes—who shares three children with him—publicly requested his help with a child's medical crisis. Though details were unclear, it underscored Musk's public perception issue. Insiders shared that he seemed more invested in his social media interactions than parenting, strengthening the contrast between his professional meme persona and private responsibilities.
Adding to personal complexities, author Ashley St. Clair claimed to have had a child with Musk five months ago, yet he allegedly failed to respond to her communication attempts.
The multifaceted billionaire’s interests extend beyond technology and memes; at CPAC, he explored topics like political realignments and his intent to tour Fort Knox. Musk’s evolving identity as a meme, alongside numerous personal challenges, intriguingly captures public attention.
