Who knew that an enthusiastic jump from Elon Musk at the Annual Tesla Shareholder meeting would become another viral meme of 2024? The jump quickly caught the eyes of social media users across the internet, leading to a series of humorous adaptations. They cropped a distorted picture of him jumping into the air, making an X with his arms and legs spread.

The internet peeps experimented with the picture as much as they could. An X user stretched out his limbs, rounded his belly, and made this "X" look funny.
Someone asked if anyone can photoshop him strapped to those big spinning wheels you throw knives or tomatoes at. That's some vivid imagination!
The "X" Elon Musk jumping picture was first created to present him in weird situations using absurd backgrounds. An internet user even put him in the middle of a war battlefield in an old painting.
The first sighting of this distorted image was on the account of a Twitter user, @ivvyperson, who asked him for the name of the app Musk had bought. The image below also answers this question.
Another memer replaced the X on the app's icon with a photo of Musk and blamed the users for not updating the app. Fair enough!
The first jump!
This is not the billionaire's first attempt to make such moves. He attempted to do another jump behind Donald Trump at one of his rallies in July.
Musk made a surprise appearance at the rally, where he joined Trump at the site of a previous assassination attempt against the former president. Dressed in a black "Make America Great Again" cap and an "Occupy Mars" T-shirt, Musk attempted to rally support for Trump ahead of the upcoming election.
During his speech, he referred to himself as “dark MAGA,” a nod to far-right meme culture, which further fueled the online discourse surrounding his appearance.
As Trump introduced Musk, he described him as the man who "saved free speech," and Musk responded by energetically waving at the crowd and jumping into the air. That, too, caught people's attention and helped fans create the Elon Musk jumping memes for the first time.
One user humorously remarked, "Elon jumps like a homeschool kid,” while others compared his animated behavior to an overly energetic child trying to impress adults at a party. At the same time, others photoshopped him in iconic movie scenes from movies like Titanic and Dirty Dancing.
It is undoubtedly different this time, as the bloating looks good on him. Apart from taking a dig at these funny photos, many social media users have also declared him "pretty" and "cute." Fans will surely like to see more jumps like these from Musk in the near future.
