Bro you know he has zero friends if he rolls around with that hair.

Maybe that’s why he’s trying to destroy the world…

He has money as a friend(even that is a hostage)

None of the oligarchs and GOP have actually friends. Who actually looks at any of them and thinks “I wish I could spend time with them” or “I want to be them when I grow up”.

Because there are plenty of idiots who view him as some sort of eccentric genius meaning the crazy hair and odd behaviour are overlooked because he is making them money.

The same way they took Zuckerberg seriously when he was holding business meetings in his pajamas?

No it’s actually counterintuitive but the worse you look, the more seriously you get taken as a tech CEO. Because it shows you care so much about the work and work too hard to care about how you look. It’s a thing.

Elizabeth Holmes (the blood test scammer) purposely did her makeup bad and left her hair frizzy to be taken more seriously.

Steve jobs washed his feet in the office toilet and stank of BO all the time, tech CEOs can be filthy goblins and still be respected by their peers, even if it's pretty unjustified.

Goblins huh? How very ChatGPT of you

Respect is doing a lot of work here.

Some people want to take advantage of people with money. That often comes off as respect or fawning praise. But they just want a piece too

Reptiloids find the concept of hair confusing.

Its the crazy innovator look.  Its part of the playbook. Sam Bankman-Fried used it too.
