This is a golden epoch for rich nerds who make hoi polloi uncomfortable . Remember Tesla CEO Elon Muskposing with maracasnext to a mariachi banding ? think back sentient ball of pizza pie dough Mark Zuckerbergdoing his best normal guy rope impression ? Okay now forget those guys because Jack Ma set the new gamy water line for inscrutable technocrat behavior at this class ’s Alibaba Annual Party inHangzhou .
The founder ofthe Chinese e - commerce giantbegan his presentation with a graphic of meteors hurtling towards earth , one of which struck the Yellow Dragon Sports Center where the party was being held . alternatively of induce aggregative death in a cloud of ash and fervidness , the meteor , I opine , was Jack Ma on a bike . There were other asteroids . Were there many Jack Mas ? possibly those were actual meteors and people are in danger ? It was not addressed .
After come out on the motorcycle , Ma revved it several times while wearing a costume that seemed to be stolen from either a Margi Gras episode of Big Bad Beetleborgs or a My Chemical Romance pickup methamphetamine field hockey plot . He then did a short saltation routine to Michael Jackson ’s “ Billie Jean . ” It had none of the hallmarks of a Michael Jackson impression aside from the individual mitt thing . He did n’t moonwalk . At no degree did Jack Ma look to be having fun .
The dance endure approximately 15 second , consisting of pointing , twirling , and entirely too many pelvic thrusts for a 53 - yr - erstwhile man who in all probability employs or does business with most of his hearing . After several second of setup that involved a XII or so backup professional dancer , Ma pop the question another 15 second of “ unsafe , ” then some unchoreographed hand clapping through “ Black and White ” while Ma put a motorcycle helmet on . He rode his Sus scrofa about 20 feet onto a platform that someone pulleyed , Ma and all , into the rafters . Maybe he turned back into a meteor . mayhap he just go back to being thesecond - racy manin China .
To be clear , I have no melodic theme why any of this come about . I do n’t know if Ma has expressed a deep erotic love of Michael Jackson , motorcycles , meteors , or other words start with “ m. ” I do n’t know if this represent a normal corporate company in Hangzhou . But I do know that America ’s technocrats have some catch up to do .
