I ran it through an AI checker & it said it was real.

[–] [email protected] 80 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Lot of people say its real.

[–] [email protected] 61 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

People, the smartest people, they know it's real. But they, the bad guys, they don't want you to believe it.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 3 weeks ago

I know it's real because I have "common sense".

[–] [email protected] 15 points 3 weeks ago

Just count the number of toes to make sure it's real. Also, it's well known that Elon has two left feet.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 weeks ago

I flipped a quarter and the quarter says it’s real.

smdh, you never sucked your preganante baby mommas toes?

[–] [email protected] 14 points 3 weeks ago

Elon is prefnart!??!

[–] [email protected] 7 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

I think I'm not tarantino enough

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Taranteentoe? Who dat?

I feel dirty for typing that haha. I love Quinten Tarantino’s movies so much.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Tarantino reflects so very poorly on folks who like feet non-creepily

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

I definitely don’t get foot love at all. I have always always always despised feet.

Now, when I’m worked up, you know? There isn’t a part of the body I don’t like at least a little bit haha.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

That's pretty much how I feel about breasts, though not even when I'm worked up does that change for me!

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

Oh man, I absolutely love breasts. Too much, really. :p

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 weeks ago

They really are the breast

“LONG LIVE THE REAL KING," said the video showing an AI-generated Musk getting his feet sucked by Trump

What reckless journalism. It would be much more accurate to say "an allegedly AI-generated Musk getting his feet sucked by Trump".

I've seen no concrete proof that the video is not authentic. It's with in the realm of possibility that Elon has two left feet.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 3 weeks ago

I say we handle it like Elon and just say its a real video, boost it to millions of viewers, then remove the article a week later if it turns out fake

[–] [email protected] 97 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

The sad thing is that shit like this is more likely to get Elon Musk out than Congress, because all anyone seems to care about is Trump's ego.

[–] [email protected] 111 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

That is unironically the best possible strategy. This admin isn't exactly monolithic. The main thing they all have in common is that they're filthy rich and want to be even richer, but apart from that many of them have massive egos and god complexes all of their own. Driving a wedge between them is logically the best way forward.

[–] [email protected] 22 points 3 weeks ago

I'm always down for a good ratfucking.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 3 weeks ago

Same way Bannon got ousted last time. Trump's easy to hit. Hurt or stroke his ego in specific ways. He HATED 'president Bannon.'

[–] [email protected] 62 points 3 weeks ago (3 children)

Okay but where is the video? To share.

[–] [email protected] 28 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)
[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 weeks ago

Such passion and giving. That's the least offensive thing I've seen Trump do.

[–] [email protected] 26 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

I mean, I think it fits, that Elon would literally have two left feet

[–] [email protected] 22 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

I ~~blame~~ thank Tarantino.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 weeks ago (5 children)

Even if it wasn't AI...so what? No kink-shaming man, even if they're shitty people.

[–] [email protected] 35 points 3 weeks ago (3 children)

Have you ever heard the phrase "don't dip the pen in company ink"?

[–] [email protected] 8 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)
[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 weeks ago

In this economy???

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago) (1 children)

But this is ridicule not because of a working relationship but because of the taboo related to sucking feet.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 3 weeks ago

I would say there is a meta element to this kind of attack that is less directly about public perception, though that exists, and more about the target's perception and how "they" want to be seen. And yeah everything influences everything else but that level of rabbit holing is rarely constructive. // I also think this is less about foot fetishism in specific anyway and more about Trump being sexually subservient to Musk, this is just about as graphic as you can get with the concept while remaining PG-ish, or at least public display safe.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 weeks ago

It's the most fun dipping to have, what are you about?

[–] [email protected] 29 points 3 weeks ago

No one's shaming the kink. It's a play on "Kissing the feet of your ruler", essentially implying subservience.

[–] [email protected] 24 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

Every kink is a kink because the object of the kink holds some specific value or logic within the social context that is then relived or subverted within the kinky dynamic. If foot worshipping wasn't, historically and symbolically, an act of submission in society, it wouldn't be a kink at all.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

The theory about foot fetishes is that the nerves between the genitalia and the feet run very close together in the backhaul. If you have crosstalk between the nerves, one stimulates the other. That's how you get sexual gratification from foot stimulation, or toe-curling orgasms.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 weeks ago

In fact I was talking about "foot worshipping" and not foot fetish in general, which are arguably very different dynamics.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Again, no reason to shame people for sucking feet

[–] [email protected] 10 points 3 weeks ago

Unless they're into that.

But this isn't about kink shaming foot fetishists - it's about the power dynamic and bruising Trump's ego. It's about as NSFW as you can get without getting into major trouble. Showing dommy mommy fElon in latex holding a leash and Trump on his knees wearing a pup mask on TVs in a government office would be hilarious and amazing, but I don't know if you'd survive long enough to laugh about it.

[–] [email protected] 22 points 3 weeks ago

And this is not about the kink. It's about the shitters in the video.

I bet they shield tRump from this

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 weeks ago

I wonder if they gave Elmo two left feet on purpose.
