Musk ‘robot kiss’ images emerge
AI-generated pictures of Musk kissing female robots come to the media’s attention. The posts, which were originally released on May 16, show Musk kissing and dancing with four female humanoid robots.
Elon Musk announces the future wife, who is she? It is the first robot that has been manufactured specifically designed with artificial intelligence, with the personality and the characteristics of the female that he dreams of…which is not found in any normal person, because of course, there is no normal person that has all the required specifications.
The poster says the images were made to ‘clarify’ AI’s dangers:
This post is to clarify the dangers of AI (artificial intelligence) in the coming period, especially after Tesla Company released the first integrated robot “Optimus”.

Musk booed at Chappelle show
At the San Francisco stop on his joint tour with Chris Rock, Chappelle brings Musk on to the stage as a special guest…
Ladies and gentlemen, make some noise for the richest man in the world!
…to loud boos and cheers from the 18,000 people in the audience. Chappelle:
It sounds like some of the people you fired are in the audience…You shut the f*ck up with your boos.
Turns out Twitter can, in fact, be real life. https://t.co/FFpups1yEy pic.twitter.com/41jcZgdDR4
— Steven Goffman (@SteveGoffman) December 12, 2022
During the few minutes that he was on stage, Musk deferred to Chappelle for instruction on how to handle the negative reactions, asking: “What should I say?” to which Chappelle said: “Don’t say nothing, it’ll only spoil the moment. You hear that sound, Elon? That’s the sound of pending civil unrest.” In an attempt to cut through the awkwardness, Musk borrowed a line from Chappelle’s Show, yelling, “I’m rich, bitch!”
Musk, in a deleted tweet, later claimed that the cheering to booing ratio was 90% cheers to 10% boos.
But, still, that’s a lot of boos, which is a first for me in real life. It’s almost as if I’ve offended SF’s unhinged leftists … but nahhh.
