Excuse me, that's President Musk and First Lady Trump.

[–] rockerface@lemm.ee 16 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I thought it's Queen Musk and Prince Consort Trump

[–] aeronmelon@lemmy.world 12 points 1 year ago

Court Jester.

[–] rayyy@lemmy.world 11 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Well, usually the first lady wears heels, sometimes a girdle and makeup.

The racists have installed a South African president. 😂

[–] whoisearth@lemmy.ca 28 points 1 year ago

In fairness it's an Afrikaans POS that probably has a home in Orania. It's the kind of South African MAGA would love.

[–] DandomRude@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago (2 children)

tbh the US citizens did that

[–] Empricorn@feddit.nl 22 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Uh... yep. That's what I meant.

I voted for Harris. Talk to the people who refused because Harris fell short of their line that said "To ride you must be THIS PURE."

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.

[–] coyootje@lemmy.world 18 points 1 year ago (3 children)

That's assuming people can even tell. It's at the point now where a lot of people are starting to struggle.

[–] jj4211@lemmy.world 10 points 1 year ago (2 children)

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.

And what a stunning figure it is.

Can you imagine the swimsuit competition?

[–] parody@lemmings.world 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Not without getting a boner

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

[–] MutilationWave@lemmy.world 10 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (4 children)

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.

Is he going to buy a "founder of the USA" label and have it put in the Constitution like he made himself a Tesla founder?

[–] medicsofanarchy@lemmy.world 26 points 1 year ago

"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."

[–] danc4498@lemmy.world 24 points 1 year ago

I see what we’re doing here, and I love it.

[–] iAvicenna@lemmy.world 21 points 1 year ago (4 children)

keep circulating this and the first lady Elon version, their egos the size of a hot air balloon will clash at some point

It's inevitable, I think. Narcissists do not love mirrors.

Those who don't learn from history are doomed to repeat it.

[–] IzzyScissor@lemmy.world 16 points 1 year ago

Corollary: Those preventing history from being taught intend to repeat it.

Isn't that the same Ferengi in different Hu-mon disguises?

[–] TankovayaDiviziya@lemmy.world 11 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Is the film Don't Look Up a social commentary on real life? Or did Elon and Donald saw the movie and decided to cosplay?

[–] inv3r5ion@lemmy.dbzer0.com 9 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I think this is more idiocracy than don’t look up…

[–] cobysev@lemmy.world 27 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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.

Yeah give me Macho Camacho any day over the shit we've had.

[–] Anticorp@lemmy.world 10 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It's like the book 1984, which was supposed to be a warning tale but many govts the world over use it as a how to guide.

Why would someone generate an image like this when there's surely tons of photos of them together? Weird choice.

[–] postmateDumbass@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Maybe Trump will get to the point he has Musk killed?

[–] tigeruppercut@lemmy.zip 6 points 1 year ago

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.
