    I like anime girls and AI. Thing is, Elon gives off a vibe of ‘hello fellow kids’, purely for the sake of being the most popular kid in highschool, rather than actually enjoying stuff.

    That is sad.

      That sort of makes sense but I don’t understand how that weird torso having creep has like 16 kids. He seems almost too stupid to understand how it works, physically and I know he is about as smooth as a pile of broken glass with no emotional IQ or self awareness.

      I am confounded.

      Can you help me out here? I’m all for criticizing Musk, but I don’t get what delusion he is trying to protray with this image. Looks like just another crappy AI art prompt

        Oh, it surely is a crappy AI prompt. The point I am making here is that Musk’s aesthetics are stuck in a past. A past when the various elements of the picture were still considered “cool” to a certain degree, but it’s all trite now.

        For example, the anime girl in the picture is meant to depict a feature of the Grok LLM, a sexy anime girl chatbot which will slowly wear less and less clothing. Even under the most charitable interpretation, it is cheapest kind of titillation and is no way or form anything new and innovative. Yet Musk puts her in the front anyway. Pretty much every detail in that picture harks back to the past: Cyberpunk atmosphere? We got that for ages! Edgy SuperGrok with a gold chain and a cigar? The look of an R’nB star from (at least) a decade ago!

        It’s all been done for a long time and it only shows how much Musk is stuck in a past when he considered himself cool and on the cutting edge of pop culture. Yet it all comes down to Musk displaying how much he is out of touch with current pop culture which has progressed further in the meantime.

    I’m guessing he’s lonely. Big headed and arrogant, but also lonely. So he makes himself have cool AI generated friends.

    The good thing about AI is that it trains on itself. So now every single slightly cartoony AI image has a yellow piss filter over it 🤣

      I don’t know how fediverse filters work, but yours doesn’t look for “*.x.com/elonmusk/*” in post descriptions?

    That’s why he’s also called Phony Stark. Never want to give the bastard view counts, which of course feeds his egomania.

    The stupid part is not that he posted this

    The stupid part is that so many people look at it, talk about it and pay attention to it

    He doesn’t post these things to project anything … he does it to keep everyone’s attention on himself, no matter how anyone may see him

    Imagine being such a loser that you don’t have any pictures with real friends

      Exactly what I was thinking. I have tons of pics of my friend group, and I love posting photos of us on our slightly larger online friend group. This guy needs the attention so much that instead of just do this have a fun bar night with friends, he would rather just make his own pretend photo. It’s not even fantasy like role playing (which is more like group story telling).
