Rudy Giuliani has no idea how to wear Apple Airpods, and the internet is roasting him

Giuliani serves as an informal cybersecurity adviser for President Trump.

Now that Rudy Giuliani isn't on TV defending President Trump's every move like he was during the campaign, we're no longer blessed with our daily dose of the former New York City mayor. While less Giuliani is ideal for some, we also miss out on priceless moments such as this one.

Self-described "GOP Media Guy" Rick Wilson shared a selfie of himself and Giuliani at LaGuardia Airport on Tuesday. While a selfie of two old white dudes would not typically warrant a blog post, please looks closely at Giuliani's ears.

Yes, it appears that Giuliani is wearing a pair of wireless Apple Airpods. This is not how you wear AirPods at all.

This is how you wear them.

Business Insider politics reporter Joe Perticone noticed and fired off a tweet calling out Giuliani for his tech flub.

The tweet quickly took off, prompting some pretty great reactions and memes.

One person even noted the pods were "surprisingly uncomfortable" in the position Giuliani mashed them into his skull.

We should note here, that Giuliani is an informal cybersecurity adviser for the Trump administration, meaning he should probably understand the very basics of technology. God help us all.
