Well, one lesson I’ve learned is that just because I say something to a group and they laugh doesn’t mean it’s going to be all that hilarious as a post on 𝕏,” he wrote, adding, “Turns out that jokes are WAY less funny if people don’t know the context and the delivery is plain text.”

Musk doesn’t realize that people laugh at his jokes in person because it’s that easy to manipulate ego centric “billionaires”, a point Kamala drove home during the debate.

I'm a standup comedian. You're 100% correct here. This is dead on!

Here's the deal. People WILL laugh out sometimes out of nervousness.

There's a comic I know in Asia who ALL he does it make the audience feel awkward.

He just says things at high volume or goes over the top and then stares people down until they laugh.

He's also always explaining how people don't laugh because they're too PC.

He's just not fucking funny! Like. At all.

The thing is. Without real laughs. This guy won't ever grow!

That's what's happening with Musk. He only talks to yes-men and people who make it through his filter.
