Is that subreddit not just dudes who think they are The Wolf of Wall Street, but are actually just regular middle to lower class people who really like Elon Musk?

It's mixed. The original sub was about making very poor financial decisions

The original sub before 2020 was about throwing less than 1% of your money in low probability high paying bets. Nobody back then actually threw everything at a bet, and if someone did, they were rightfully made fun of.
