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.
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.
