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.

Dude spent a shitload of money on a photographer so he could feel like a cowboy for a few minutes.

Edit: I'm still not sure it's actually a real photo though, it doesn't sit right with me.

You may be right. A few other comment here have remarked at his neckerchief being not quite right. That also doesn't exclude the possibility for a digital touch-up, or a photoshoot as a dedicated training model for AI.

Ooh, I hadn't thought of the possibility of Ai enhanced regular photo.

Of course, the Muskrat and Faceburg have both always given me "uncanny valley" vibes just because that's how they look normally

I wanted to say that outfit slaps also, glad i found a homie to agree.

Somehow it makes his face even more slappable though. Mannnn can you imagine how good it would feel to hit a stinger on that gob?

If it's real, I'm confident he had some competent assistant hire a competent crew for that photo-op. I'm guessing a competent PR consultant suggested a good photo-op in the first place, hit the right buttons to appeal to his wannabe cool image.

If it's fake, some competent developer created a good tool, fed with competently selected data to create a rather convincing image.

What I'm trying to say is that there most certainly were several competent people involved in the making of this picture.

Just not the subject.
