I'm so happy we're getting back to the oh-so-clever and cutting "trump is gay with every one of his evil buddies" thing. Fuck you.
Looking forward to 4 years of this stupid, hateful, POINTLESS liberal shit. Again, FUCK YOU.
Aren't people in non straight relationships embarrassing and stupid? Shouldn't they feel ashamed? High five, my liberal friends! I'm a good person!

Epic stuff, guys. A lot of you do have an unexamined bigotry about you.
That’s certainly one opinion - which you’re more than entitled to hold. Personally I don’t get the connotations that you do. I see it as a subversion of Musk’s overt sycophancy vis a vis Trump’s (completely unwarranted) strong man persona clothed in a parody of a TradCon nuclear family. It’s art - there’s often more than one interpretation. Sometimes deliberately so.
The joke isn't about being gay. They're both men, sure, but that's just because they are. Here's the same joke with Trump and Harris https://www.mundodeportivo.com/us/en/20240818/697970/hilarious-ai-generated-video-shows-donald-trump-and-kamala-harris-in-romantic-scenarios.html
Fully explain the joke. Why is it funny?
Sure I'll indulge you. I think it started with the Putin/Trump mural in 2016. This was a Russian street artist making political commentary. As a response, people made fake images of Trump and Putin kissing. Soon other fake images showed up of world leaders whith unlikely partners which set the kissing theme as a household meme. Shortly after the 2020 elections in the USA, LLM's were dropped into the world and with them AI image generation. So this joke took a run. Now nobody's safe from this joke. It's not just Trump, but it's happening all over the world. These kissing images and others like it are kind of funny, but many images are nearly indistinguishable from reality and are actively weaponised to cause political havoc. Which is a whole other problem, of course.
I know you weren't asking me, but I think the humour lies in how Elon would hate this on account of him being bigoted.
It's not "haha he's gay" but rather rather that he's a fool who is too much of a snow flake and anti anything not straight, to not be offended by this. Also to add something about how Melania's perceived to be treated by Trump, well that's Elon now.
