Those who see you stare at you,
they ponder your fate:
“Is this the man who shook the earth
and made kingdoms tremble,
17 the man who made the world a wilderness,
who overthrew its cities
and would not let his captives go home?”
Satan is no man. He is an angel of Yahweh.
You simply pick and choose the parts that you agree with and ignore the rest.
It literally says that it's a taunt against the king of Babylon:
"On the day the Lord gives you relief from your suffering and turmoil and from the harsh labor forced on you, 4 you will take up this taunt against the king of Babylon:"
I completely agree that Satan is an angel and not a man.
Note, though, that the Scriptures sometimes speak of angels using terms like "man":
Daniel 9:21 "Yea, whiles I was speaking in prayer, even the man Gabriel, whom I had seen in the vision at the beginning, being caused to fly swiftly, touched me about the time of the evening oblation..."
Luke 1:26 "And in the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent from God unto a city of Galilee, named Nazareth.."
I still believe that Satan is this Lucifer/King of Babylon in Isaiah 14 who exalted himself against God and was cast down from heaven, just is written about Satan in Revelation 12:7-17.
However, let me for a moment concede that Isaiah 14 is about a king of Babylon referred to as Lucifer and this text doesn't explicitly mention Satan.
Let me edit my original reply as follows, and the point is still the same:
"I find a lot of content online appears to be a modern effort to 'rehabilitate' Satan. Stuff like this is conditioning the world to accept a future Satanic 'savior' and worship the dragon at some point in the future."
Who cares about your personal interpretation?

Your personal conjecture is irrelevant.
