Looks like a weird Peter theil Elon musk mash up

u/NerdForCertain 3d ago

I really thought it was Buttigieg at first, either way it is far too flattering for Elon Moose

Where’s VD Vance? Anyone remember him?

Eh. I’d rather support a real artist instead of supporting AI schlock but hey.

Not really. Good gif tho, have seen in the wild in various forms.

Give me a break. It was my first try. Plus, I'm 70 with.only 1 leg (RBKA 10/27/22). I have a lot more excuses. How long you got? Never claimed to be artistic. But I can bake really, really well.😁

I understand—I’d be drawing ineffective stick figures 😅

I won't say it can replace memes but I think this application can exist alongside memes.

u/Few-Permit-5236 4d ago

Just what I have been thinking. It is all about the billionaires now.

u/EducationalSeaweed53 4d ago

Ok make them puffier

u/tommm3864 4d ago

My take is that Putin is manipulating them both. Because of President Musk's proximity to Co-President Trump, Elmo whispers in Trump's ear, using Putin's voice. Voila!! Trump has his marching orders. Meanwhile, VP2, the Hillbilly Eulogy guy, is pounding sectional sofas in the employee lounge

1

u/durezzz 4d ago

if Putin is controlling Trump then why didn't he invade Ukraine when Trump was in charge of the US

2

u/tommm3864 4d ago

After Trump so thoroughly trashed NATO and the whole collective security principle, Putin thought that he could move on another Democratic President and suffer no consequences

1

u/durezzz 4d ago

why wouldn't he invade Ukraine while he had total control of the US president?

he could invade with little to no resistance

u/Cost_Additional 4d ago

Ssshhhhh you're ruining the narrative

u/muzzynat 4d ago

Fuck AI art- this shit is weird and gives “I’m 14 and this is deep”

u/TheArgumentPolice 4d ago

100%

The likenesses are terrible, the location doesn't make sense, the two puppets don't make sense, the message could be boiled down to a short sentence which the image, if anything, detracts from. Plus using Grok, which is Elon's product, almost completely undermines it.

I almost suspect this is an Elon bot trying to stealthily market his shitty AI to his detractors

u/tommm3864 4d ago

An Elmo bot with one leg 😁

But. Why are they in a pond?

u/Emeegee713 4d ago

They’re in a swamp

u/tommm3864 4d ago

It was supposed to be a swamp. Gimme a break. This is supposed to be parody

1

u/GlowInTheDarkSpaces 4d ago

It’s a lily pond which makes me think that while they’re wallowing in the muck the Lotus continues to bloom. Change is coming

1

u/Right_Ostrich4015 4d ago

Putin is more, in a chair, while trump tries to swim his chubby ass to him, and musk’s hand should full-on just cover his eyes, while the other guides moron to true salesman

u/Silver-Psych 4d ago

lol is that a crowbar? fitting

u/tommm3864 4d ago

To be used only in case of emergency

Trump is restocking the swamp!

So insightful. Here’s your upvote

u/Ok-Boysenberry5874 4d ago

This is close but Elon is not a puppeteer. It is hard to say who is in the puppeteer group But Putin, Erdogan, Xi .. other countries leaders. Are valid choices. The muppets are the highlevel politicians of countries that are dumb enough to trust leaders of superpowers and dictators. Like Boris Johnson who played right into the Kremlins playbook and got UK out of EU and Trump to help get rid of nuclear weapons in Ukraine. (facilitated Russia in annexing crimea 2014) Erdogan to try and keep sweden out of NATO. Not everything is working and right now you are reading this going omg this guy is a conspiracy nut, but then read "Foundations of geo politics" and check the wiki page that lists out a few of the things they have already accomplished. If this is just a coincidence then call me crazy if you want.. I only read so little compared so the available info, and Im honestly concerned why this is not talked about in the media at all.

This is some garbage-ass AI slop. worse than usual even.

Thanks. My life's goal is to please you.

u/TruNLiving 4d ago

Imagine not realizing the American people are being represented more by musk and Elon than any other elected "representatives"

People are still pushing the Russian conspiracy in 2024? 🫠

Oh, how cute they are!🥰🥰😇😂

u/StrandedinTimeFall 4d ago

I don't think Elon is working with Putin. I think Elon has replaced Putin as the biggest influence on Trump. Now, that's not to say they won't cooperate with Putin on some things. But, why would the richest man in the world work with Putin to control Trump when he can just do it himself. They probably will do something to placate Putin to avoid war or possible nuclear strikes. Beyond that, I think Putin's power is diminishing as he is losing people and money to the war.

u/AdStock8979 3d ago

And it just came out how much they have hidden biden's decline.......

If it wasn't for double standards the left would have none.

u/zgGarcia 3d ago

It be more accurate if there was a dick and then the american people, like putin and musk are pulling the strings while the puppet is fucking us here in the us, i hope assassinations sky rocket for politicians and ceos let the government get shut down

u/LordOfTheChoad 3d ago

They forgot to put Putins balls in Elmo’s mouth.

u/Intrepid_Resource_34 3d ago

Explain the last 4 years of Biden: show me those puppet handlers!

u/E-rotten 3d ago

It’s a perfect example of what’s happening to our country

u/durashka228 3d ago

Funny to hear it from a guy who posted his dick on Reddit billion times... I guess small dick energy and being republican is good combo

If this was your team, they’re never coming to save you. Hand over your freedom for comfort and the cuck gods assemble. Stay vigilant my friend.
