ROCKVILLE, Md. — Friends and family of local man, Edgar Manis, have noticed in recent years an odd trend in Edgar’s speech. With every conversation becoming increasingly less coherent and constantly referring to others as ‘mindless NPCs’, according to their social media posts.
“It seemed like a one-off joke at first, but after a while, it became his whole personality,” said Edgar’s brother Franklin. “Between his constant worship of Elon and the other random bullshit he keeps saying it’s become impossible to hold anything resembling a conversation with him. The other day, he started a conversation with ‘Have you heard of the woke mind virus?’ Who the fuck says that!? I tried to be nice and just ignore it, but after he followed up with ‘I saw a couple of liberals the other day, annoying creatures.’ I had to call him out on it. But if you try to point out how weird that is, he’ll just call you an NPC, turn around, and walk away. More than once into a wall, in fact, but he’ll never admit it.”
Others close to Edgar claim that this may stem from him recently becoming obsessed with Elon Musk.
“He’s way more than just a fan of Elon, he practically worships the ground Elon walks on,” according to Edgar’s friend Lawrence. “The weird part is it’s only as recent as about a year or two ago when he took over Twitter, though he calls it X. He even got a Cybertruck just to prove how much of an adoring fan he is for everything Elon does, despite already owning a tesla that doesn’t look like a 3 year old designed it. ”
A short while later, the Bethesda Police Department reportedly took Edgar into custody following an altercation at a gym.
“Mr Manis was taken into custody early Tuesday morning after charging at another person in the gym,” according to a report from Officer John Wesson. “Mr. Manis claims he was performing a citizens’ arrest at the time and demands to be let go. However, according to other witnesses, nothing happened before Mr Manis screamed out ‘Stop right there criminal scum!’ and charged at the victim. Following being taken into custody, he revealed the reason for his actions was that he mistakenly believed the victim to be transgender. The victim has decided to press charges.”
According to follow-up social media posts from Edgar’s family, he has sold both his cars, including the Cybertruck, to try and fund his legal fees.
