Does he have a crush on you? His way of messing with you like you're in elementary?

OP it is no deeper than the social awkwardness of unfunny people who have to repeat the same 'joke'. You can either literally ignore or literally say "Yes, I have a straw I drink out of" every day.
....but just in case he is a creeper, please be sure not to set the straw in a communal drying rack/area just in case this dude has a thing for straws/you/both.

I might say something like, "John, you sure do seem fixated on my straw for some reason. Happy to let you have it if you want it that badly."

Is he also anti-mask and anti-vaccine? He’s brainwashed. Avoid.
He’s the guy most likely to bring a gun to work because people don’t laugh at his jokes.
(Just to clarify, as the PP you quoted, I'm not OP, I just have some theories on who needs and who doesn't need in-person office time, and why.)

The psychology behind it? He’s socially immature and doesn’t possess strong skills in interacting appropriately with adults.

He’s a brainwashed rightwinger.
The “Libz are banning disposable straws” was a huge story in rightwing media in 2018-2019. He’s flexing.

You should ask him why he’s so fixated on your straw. Maybe he wants one.

Teasing/making fun of something small/insignificant? I have a coworker who always makes fun of the silicone straw I use in my refillable cup at work. It’s such a benign thing to make fun of but for whatever reason he chooses to bring it up almost daily. Larla and her special straw.
I never act like it bothers me so I have no clue why he keeps bringing it up. It’s a straw. I’m not offended but it find it so strange. Why does he do this, even though it gets no rise out of me and nobody else even seems to notice he mentions it?
(He also teases/mentions other random things to other with the same results, so it’s not just me.)
