However, what started as a seemingly relatable TikTok moment ended up becoming one of the digital realm’s most raging debates, with more overwrought think pieces devoted to Caleb’s perceived culpability — and/or possible innocence — than the US’s withdrawal from Afghanistan.

Caleb’s studly saga began with the now infamous hashtag #WestElmCaleb, which currently boasts more than 108 million views on the video-sharing platform.

There, the legend of New York City’s most eligible f – – kboy, West Elm Caleb, was spun: He is allegedly a young, lightly mustachioed furniture designer named Caleb with a nasty habit of aggressively wooing his dates before disappearing from their radars.

Often, TikTok legend has it, he sees more than one woman a day.
