      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.
