TALLAHASSEE (The Borowitz Report)—Ron DeSantis is hoping to seem like a normal person by appearing next to Elon Musk, the Governor’s campaign has confirmed.

“Throughout the past few months, with his attacks on Disney, migrants, and books, Ron has, unfortunately, given the impression that he is bizarre,” one aide said. “And the white boots didn’t help, either.”

The aide said that, once voters compare DeSantis to the Twitter chief, “there’s at least a chance that Ron will seem somewhat normal.”

According to the aide, the campaign decided to pair DeSantis with Musk after considering a shortlist of other foils, including Mickey Rourke, Dennis Rodman, and Ginni Thomas.

In an official statement about his joint appearance with DeSantis, Musk said that he was “thrilled” that he had finally convinced someone to come into the office.

2. Anyone would seem normal next to Elon Musk. At least in a photo-still. Most, but Ron Puddingfingers?

3. Except that Elon Musk Is Not Normal, Either.

He's a very strange little man. Think of the mad scientist in "Don't Look Up." That's Elon Musk, right there. Smart, but not wise.

4. That's the point of the satire.

Compared to Mask, DeSantis would appear normal.

9. Role Model

If Elon is DeSatans idea of a "role model" for how to look normal... well...
