elon is a lame poser

Why does it feel like an AI generated image? Am I the only one getting this vibe?

Hyper-detailed foreground with a blurry background and a subject matter that falls into the uncanny valley? Yeah, that all checks out.

E2A: Zoom in on smaller sections and it becomes more obvious. Objects that should be in the same depth of field have different levels of blur, patterns don't follow rules, it looks like the jacket has buttons, but half of a zipper on one side? There's a lot of little things.
- You are good at pointing out what feels wrong in the image. It could be a case of very heavy editing or AI-powered filters without necessarily being completely ai generated but I still stand by my initial impression that it gives and AI vibe and you are right about why
Musk really did post this.

Whether he used an AI generator or not, it's possible. But honestly, I could easily see him paying for a photoshoot for this since he announced moving SpaceX to Texas.
- The cut off conspiracy theory image 🤣
- I love the idea that not only is he all-hat-no-cattle, he also faked the hat.
- 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.
- Fair, I wasn't wondering if he did or didn't post (I guess it could have been a fake tweet too, one can never be too sure). Just pointing at the aesthetics in the image, there's something uncanny about it
Because it is either an AI image or it has been processed to look like one.
You know it’s AI because the hat isn’t on backwards this time
It doesn't need to be AI generated. He is that ugly and weird.
It probably is why bother with the dress up when you can generate the photo after some trial an error.
The scarf looks rather strange. Some partitions are square patterned while the rest follow some arbitrary dotting.
- Yup, that seam/twist there on the foreground is almost a definitive giveaway
  
  Edit: I mean I guess that especially a rich person could, for some reason, wear a weird ass scarf designed by someone who thinks in a very out-of-the-box way.. but which is more likely?
That’s because it’s an ai image by the looks of it
- One of the community notes on the post said it was posted the day before by another account, and an AI image detector flagged it as AI with 90% confidence.
  
  Musk using an AI image to fantasize about being some badass cowboy is both pathetic and absolutely expected lol
If he'd gone and bought a cowboy hat in the last few weeks, they would've at least attempted to sell him a summer hat (straw) instead of a winter hat (felt). Not definitive but strange.

What was the Texan saying?
All hat no cattle?

It's actually "look at that douche bag in the cowboy get up" I'm from Texas and we don't wear the cowboy hats for the most part. They're for tourists.
- This reply reminds me of Marty Mcfly entering the saloon with the pink cowboy outfit in back to the future
- Never been to Dallas?

Time to refer to the checklist:

[x] Hat
[ ] Cattle

[] Working class [] Predominantly people of color [] Poor [] Hardworking
- Also predominatly homosexual.
He keeps his cattle at the factories.

You can tell he's not in Texas because he would have a heat stroke in that leather jacket.

- Considering the jacket, I doubt this is a summer outfit. Assuming it’s even remotely real, of course.
  
  Also… I don’t really feel ‘no felt in summer’ to be a hard rule. I picked up an Australian Akubra Coolabah hat in felt a couple months ago and am currently wearing it in 82 F / 28 C weather. Plenty of actual Australians wear felt Akubras year round. It’s like bringing your own giant tree with you in terms of shade.
  
  Coming from poly/cotton boonies, the felt Akubra is perfectly fine to wear for me. It helps that it’s a light color and properly vented, of course. Absolutely love the hat and will buy another eventually.
The desert can get real cold.
- Texas isn't a desert.
  
  Edit: Please read what I wrote before replying. Texas isn't a desert does not mean Texas has no desert. 90±% of the state is not desert, including where the vast majority of people live.

The picture feels AI generated

yeah I thought the same thing. there's uncanny valley vibes; it looks more human than Elon, but not quite fully human.
- It's the leather creases on the jacket. Not even remotely natural.
I'm thinking someone went nuts with the Photoshop. It's what Elon Musk thinks he looks like, and I don't think AI would be able to get that look just the way Elon wants it.
Without AI.

He's the very definition of a Dude. He's the target demographic for dude ranches.

This is what a REAL 🤠 looks like:

Wanker, Texas Rager

Looks like the kind of guy who enjoys salsa from New York City

NEW YORK CITY!?
- Good lord we're old...

We already know what he looks like in a cowboy hat, and that ain’t it.

Aside from not wanting to pay taxes and being a rightwing asswipe, why does he think moving to Texas is a good idea? They don’t have a functional power grid and it’s not an appealing place to live for any of his employees who have a half a brain.

Texas gov't under Abbot is sucking his c***.
It'll help weed out those who aren't True Believers.
Fewer employee protections

How does this guy think his mustache looks good. I'm sorry to bodyshame but man my mustache grows the exact same way and it is equally unflattering to grow out. And he has far more money to spend on barbers

I don't think that he had any control over how his moustache looks on the image, given that it's most likely an AI generated image.
- Even the ai dissin him
Musk has always had terrible hair.. I have no idea why he always has some weak as shit moustache and beard going. I also can't grow facial hair for shit so i shave every day. I'll grow out a moustache for Christmas, but even a month's worth of growth looks thin and shitty.
- I'll grow out a moustache for Christmas
  
  Lol why? Is that some tradition I've been missing out on?
He was deep down a K-hole and thought it would be a good idea to glue his own pubes to his upper lip.
