WARNING: what you are about to see may cause extreme cringing. 2020 has been a bit of an emotional rollercoaster ride thus far, but here's something that will make you feel better: Elon Musk pulling out his daggy, cringey dad dance moves. Apparently money and fame don't make you any less of a geek, and we promise you'll feel better about your dance moves after watching this. Watch the whole embarrassing spectacle on Youtube. Or check out these terrifying photos of the Taal volcano to cleanse your eyes.

SpaceX and Tesla CEO Elon Musk was giving a talk at a Tesla factory in Shanghai when he suddenly started to bop up and down. We don't know how it began (did he have a small stroke?), but it snowballed quickly (to the glee of those keeping count of Elon Musk's public failures).

After his unsure bopping, it appears that Mr Musk decided to take the dancing one step further, doing a strange, uncoordinated stepping move backwards and forwards. Please stop right here Elon, your dignity can still be salvaged.

But instead of stopping, he takes it even further and opens his jacket seductively, showing the crowd his t-shirt over a long sleeved white shirt - can we just pause for a second and bask in the eye-watering glory of this shocking and frankly ridiculous fashion choice? Surely the billionaire has enough cash to consult someone on how to not look like a teenage boy from the 90s. Anyway, then, like the rock star he is not, Elon strips off his jacket and throws it to the poor woman on stage with him.

It continues. He begins to do a strange "walking like an Egyptian" style dance move before appearing to lose steam (thank god!). I don't think we could handle any more of this.

After one last dance move that communicates our collective confusion at the spectacle, Elon seems to come to his senses and takes the microphone that is handed to him. We are as baffled as you. We don't know what happened or why it happened, but it did. But we do know one thing for sure. Elon Musk really needs some dance lessons.
