From the article: "The DeepFake-o-meter tool developed by the University at Buffalo Media Forensic Lab, which combines several detection models, assessed the audio as highly likely AI-generated, placing the probability between 98.8% and 100% (see screenshot below)."


Just to be clear: this could also mean that Musk is a robot.

I've seen that design before.






The 80s called, they want their battlemechs back.
Don't forget the classic depiction of Clan Elemental suits in the original 3050 TRO.



Though IMHO, Musk is a Whitworth aka the “worthless“

All he had to do to to be loved was not be a colossal asshole.
He's always been a colossal asshole.

People mistook him for a smart, humanitarian asshole with integrity. But that mask fell off when fame went to his head.

Now we clearly see he's woefully ignorant/self-deluded, completely self-serving/compassionless, and flagrantly lies/pays to take credit for many accomplishments that are very obviously not his.

Most corporate leaders jump through a lot of hoops to not be seen as political.... to not take controversial stances, etc. He clearly started to believe his own marketing hype and really exposed himself in a lot of ways.

Yeah when he came in I think he was piggybacking on that wide, bizarro public perception that being an arrogant, unlikable dickhead was just a necessary part of being a genius tech-visionary and should be seen as a good thing actually. People need to let that fiction go already, for the good of the world.

Yeah, Steve Jobs was a colossal asshole, but also driven to innovate simple, intuitive & effective products. Given the festering clusterbomb of zits that 'itunes' turned into, I really wish he was still around to slap Apple back in line as an industry leader. I have yet to find a music player that isn't savagely crippled and confounding due to whatever head trauma app devs seem to share.

Yeah prior to all of this, he seemed like a semi-interesting tech guy. Now he is one of the most hated men in the world. I wonder if he is regretting the hard turn to the right.

Unfortunately, when he sold his soul to the devil, he lost his ability to have regret.

He’s an example of how to radicalize a lonely person desperate for approval by heaping on praise every time he posted an edgelord meme.

People can't even let go of... Other major fictions, they aren't gonna drop this one either.

For now, he might be too vain to entertain the idea that he made a bad choice. I'm sure he probably thinks the public really still loves him the way they used to and he's been targeted by a dark conspiracy that's just trying really hard and spending lots of money to make it LOOK like they don't anymore.

My experience is that 98.768% of the time, people seem to operate from, "What I am doing isn't working. I must do it louder."

It's evolved into "I'm being sabotaged by disposal disloyal peasant people who don't understand how brilliant my totally self serving ideas are!! Must hire goons to threaten them into silence!"
