    Troll / jokester. They’re using a picture of and a name based on Zhuge Liang aka Kongming or Koumei (and yes, that one anime from a few years back is based on him), regarded as one of the greatest tacticians of the Chinese Three Kingdoms period, maybe one of the greatest tacticians ever.

    And the profile picture is based on Zhuge as depicted in Koei-Tecmo’s Dynasty Warriors series, though I am not sure which one in the series. Quite possibly the sixth, based on my research.

    So yeah, not only is the guy making a variation on a common joke, he’s basically one step away from having an anime profile picture.

      So idk if you know but this guy is a fairly reputable gaming journalist/leaker, not even close to a troll. Also he’s literally making fun of Elon in the tweet.
