Billionaire CEOs of tech companies don't generally engage with memes on social media, but Elon Musk is very far from y0ur typical tech CEO. This is, after all, the man who wrote on Twitter that he planned to take Tesla private, sending markets into shock , and had a bizarre feud with the rapper Azealia Banks.

Try to Unsee These Photos of Elon Musk as The Rock

To drive home the point that he does his own thing, the Tesla and SpaceX chief recently posted a meme on his Twitter showing his face superimposed onto Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson's bulging body. Showing good humor, he offered the caption, "Yeah, I lift a little..."

This all comes after Musk co-hosted the popular YouTube star PewDiePie's Meme Review, giving his take on various memes in a video. One of Musk's favorite memes involved his likeness being swapped with the rapper Post Malone, resulting in the Tesla CEO having face tattoos.

What makes the Elon Musk/The Rock photos especially eerie is how effective they are-glance quickly and you may think you're just looking at normal images of the Fast & Furious star. Look again and you may think Musk has been taking his training regimen a little too seriously. (In fact, while he's not exactly swole, Musk does fit in time for cardio exercise on the treadmill and lifting weights about twice a week.)

Musk seems to be taking his newfound status as a memelord quite seriously. In honor 0f this role, we took the liberty of going a few steps further and superimposing his face on other fitness idols. Enjoy and/or stare in bafflement.
