i dont think “president” is a good descriptor of musks position. i think if anything he’s more like the CEO of the united states. he gets to complain about stuff and give orders that other people follow. the president does this to some degree as well, but i think the president has way more responsibilities and paper work than the average CEO. the president also has to make more public appearances and answer questions from various government organizations/committees. musk doesn’t have to do any of that. he can just show up whenever he wants and make demands
I agree in general but I think it's funny to imagine Teflon Don doing paperwork. The only thing he's read in years is a teleprompter.
Seriously he didn't do shit but rallies and sign whatever he was handed last time. Trump played golf, which takes a long fucking time, on average more than once a week during his presidency. Once every 5.6 days is the estimate.
yeah thats a good point. trump was certainly not responsible last time around (and i highly doubt he will be responsible this time). although in the case of trump, it’s him not doing the things he’s supposed to. whereas in elons case, nobody is asking him to sign stuff or do anything. and i think that’s an important distinction. he gets all the power with none of the responsibility.
They’re around each other often. One shouldn’t have to resort to AI to manifest an image of them beside each other. IMO, using AI in propaganda (even if factually accurate propaganda) makes the message come across as phony and those in agreement look disingenuous or dumb since the propagator couldn’t even bother to use reality in their imagery.
Even if people couldn't tell, when it comes out that a purportedly real photo is AI, it still can greatly undermine a point.
Fine if the photo is obviously AI as an obviously fake over the top satire, but other than that, particularly when there's just a huge library of real photos, don't resort to AI fakes.
Look at A.I. Trump’s face — he almost looks like a human.
The lens sharpness and focal length seem a bit off between the foreground and the background but I don’t know enough about photography to say with authority if this is particularly telling. The poses and the gloss just seem too perfect and there is no apparent motion transpiring. Musk’s face also seems to lack depth as his left cheek looks like it’s just painted onto the same plane as his face.
After feeling like the image was off, I reverse image searched it with the text cropped out and found no results that did not have the text superimposed. Out of curiosity and without any idea of how reliable they are, I tried a site that claims to be able to detect if images are AI and it said it was ~98% sure it was generated through Stable Diffusion.
"They come to me, tears in their eyes, and say Sir, you are the only one of Musk's assistants that wears makeup. It's the best makeup, everyone is saying it."
Once Trump tries to break the rules by getting a third term, or pulls a Medvedev and becomes vice president to a stooge while still running things (which is also unconstitutional), the barn door is broken wide open. It won't be a problem for Musk to run even though he's foreign-born.
Idiocracy had a president who actually cared about the environment, who hired the smartest man in the world to help them solve the crisis. Trump refuses to acknowledge there's even an environmental crisis and he won't listen to experts. Idiocracy is already a better future than the one we're living in.
No but he'll totally throw a tantrum about it soon. Orange baby can't have anyone else getting wuv other than him. It's gonna be some beautiful fireworks when the richest manchild clashes with the weakest ego president.
Peter Thiel has that guys nuts gripped so hard that he's begging to be allowed to cum. Probably has JD in a chastity cage so he doesn't fuck up the oval office furniture.
The point is highlighting the practical result, which in some ways seems that musk is calling the shots rather than Trump. Definitely has more power in effect than Vance. Yes he's not technically going to be the president. But that technically seems to be doing a lot of heavy lifting here.
