You'd have a point if this were good faith encouragement of civic duty, but it's not, it's a surreptitious attempt to gain control over the mechanisms of power at the expense of everyone else.

I mean if you literally just ignore all of the lyrics except the part where Bruce is nearly screaming "born in the usa" like a lamentation... I guess it's possible.
I'm not even sure Musk would appreciate a good Amontillado.
Bruh Musk is the elite. He's not some hardworking blue collar or even white collar worker. He started so far ahead of the rest of us financially, and just bought his way into everything, he's not some coding genius who built PayPal from scratch, he's not a rocket scientist who worked on the designs for SpaceX, he's an emotionally stunted manchild with too much money and nobody in his circle to tell him no.
Nepotism isn't loyalty to family, its corruption.
Getting lucky on the stock market with the large trust fund your parents gave you isn't exactly what I'd call "earning."
Or "Born in the USA"
Ooh yeah that's another good potential use case too!
At the end of the day the choice fulfills a bunch of roles, probably even beyond just the sound bite splicing challenges and poking fun at conservatives.
Why must you bestow this cursed knowledge upon us?
Absolutely, there's a lot of planning that goes into events like this down to the wardrobes people on stage are gonna wear. Was it planned because Republicans lost their shit over the tan suit during the Obama administration and it was a jab at that? Maybe, probably, and it also serves as a way to more quickly identify shich day a soud bite is taken from and a bit harder for oppositional propaganda to stitch disparate quotes together to push an alternative narrative.
TTRPGs: first system playing in college, I've been playing and running games for various groups over the last ~13 years.
Video games: played so much Donkey Kong Country with my dad as a little kid. Never truly stopped ever since.
3d modeling/animation: It's my job, and I use it for personal reasons.
Cooking: Learned along side cooking with my parents and watching food network before it was overrun with competition cooking.

Personally I originally went to Discord because it was the alternative to skype which was increasingly becoming shittier and shittier when Microsoft bought it.
