    Not to come off as a musk fan-boy (I am most certainly not), but that’s a damn good photograph. Absolutely a professional photoshoot with hilariously high-end wardrobe.

      Dude spent a shitload of money on a photographer so he could feel like a cowboy for a few minutes.

      Edit: I’m still not sure it’s actually a real photo though, it doesn’t sit right with me.

        You may be right. A few other comment here have remarked at his neckerchief being not quite right. That also doesn’t exclude the possibility for a digital touch-up, or a photoshoot as a dedicated training model for AI.

          Ooh, I hadn’t thought of the possibility of Ai enhanced regular photo.

          Of course, the Muskrat and Faceburg have both always given me “uncanny valley” vibes just because that’s how they look normally

      If it’s real, I’m confident he had some competent assistant hire a competent crew for that photo-op. I’m guessing a competent PR consultant suggested a good photo-op in the first place, hit the right buttons to appeal to his wannabe cool image.

      If it’s fake, some competent developer created a good tool, fed with competently selected data to create a rather convincing image.

      What I’m trying to say is that there most certainly were several competent people involved in the making of this picture.

      Just not the subject.

      I wanted to say that outfit slaps also, glad i found a homie to agree.

      Somehow it makes his face even more slappable though. Mannnn can you imagine how good it would feel to hit a stinger on that gob?
