It all makes sense if you assume that everything Musk does is intended to impress a 4chan nazi circa 2012.

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.

Wait, I thought he forced all the women he’s been involved with to do in vitro to make sure he only has sons (and that’s part of why he hates his daughter)?

And inherited money, so he doesn't need to learn anything.

[–] runner_g@lemmy.blahaj.zone 13 points 3 days ago (1 children)

He probably pays women to have his "super smart" babies.

[–] tacosanonymous@mander.xyz 5 points 3 days ago

I guess but I don’t think he had enough for his first wife.

Being a billionaire helps immensely in that regard.

Wow you didn't have to call op names for asking a question.

Elon Musk died and was replaced with a shitty smarterchild era chat bot??

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

[–] Almacca@aussie.zone 1 points 2 days ago

He's just trolling.

[–] squirrel@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 1 day ago

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.

4chan nazi circa 2012 was doing it to be edgy so I'll go with no even they are impressed
