You know, if Elon wouldn't have had gender affirming care in the form of hair plugs... πŸ€”

Better example would be the plastic surgery on his jaw

[–] dohpaz42@lemmy.world 59 points 2 weeks ago (6 children)

Hm. That would insinuate that Trump is Jesus, and that’s not the message I feel we should be sending.

[–] blaue_Fledermaus@mstdn.io 30 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

He's for certain an Antichrist.

[–] asteriskeverything@lemmy.world 13 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I can't ever turn down the opportunity to share this site

[–] blaue_Fledermaus@mstdn.io 4 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

Amazing. The one problem is that when the Bible explicitly uses "Antichrist" it is plural.

Like maybe a church organization, that backs trump and has a ton of political influence, such as Liberty University and their churches

[–] bobs_monkey@lemm.ee 2 points 2 weeks ago

I mean, we're about to get a round 2...

[–] Someonelol@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 2 weeks ago

Would that make Musk the Anti Judas?

[–] Zeshade@lemmy.world 5 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I understood it more as Musk betraying his previous fanbase. Those that used to think that he was a positive force, investing in cool things. Before he revealed himself as a deranged asshole.

[–] nepenthes@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago

Same. Dude started off on the semblance-of-sanity side and then betrayed logic and science in multiple stunning acts of pure idiocy.

This is Judas-as-metaphor, not picture The Last Supper.

[–] CosmicTurtle0@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (1 children)

Here me out: Judas betrays Jesus.

Not saying you're wrong. But I'm willing to let the man speak.

[–] dohpaz42@lemmy.world 3 points 2 weeks ago

I’m fine with the betrayal part. It’s the deification of the asshole Trump I have a huge problem with.

[–] Szyler@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks ago

So trump will go to heaven in April?

[–] dalekcaan@lemm.ee 1 points 2 weeks ago

That, or Jesus was the American people and we're in a post-betrayal world, which I guess would make Trump Pontius Pilate.

[–] WeirdGoesPro@lemmy.dbzer0.com 49 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

I can’t believe I googled this.

For those like me, I found that this does not seem to have even a shred of truthβ€”there is no alternate reconstituted face of Judas, nor is this one mentioned anywhere.

[–] roguetrick@lemmy.world 14 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Well what the hell were they actually going to base it off of. I don't think there's any churches claiming the skull of Judas as one of their relics.

There is no evidence for the Jesus pictures either, but I at least assumed it was another one of those half baked renditions based on genetic data from the region and basic biblical descriptions.

[–] psud@aussie.zone 0 points 1 week ago

It's from a parody news site. It's a joke

[–] _____@lemm.ee 39 points 2 weeks ago (3 children)

"using artificial intelligence"

oh, so it's completely worthless

[–] funnything@lemmings.world 21 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Nordpress is a satirical website. It's the belgian the onion.

[–] nossaquesapao 3 points 2 weeks ago

Now everything makes sense

[–] lennivelkant@discuss.tchncs.de 16 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

That, or they opted to use buzzwords to secure funding from investors more willing to buy into the hype than actually interested about the research.

Or it's just a joke, playing off of that trope or scientific headlines to make a caricature of Musk.

[–] keepcarrot@hexbear.net 1 points 2 weeks ago

Are there just more pictures of musk in the training data to the point where people just look a little more musk-like when generated?

[–] HawlSera@lemm.ee 8 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

We didn't even Artifical intelligence, we have created Geniune Stupidity

Now that's a tasty quote to save for later!

[–] 9point6@lemmy.world 18 points 2 weeks ago (3 children)

Weird, why am I getting Bezos vibes when everyone else sees Elon

[–] metaStatic@kbin.earth 39 points 2 weeks ago

I see a white and gold dress

[–] ptz@dubvee.org 14 points 2 weeks ago

Please don't let this be the next "the dress" lol. It's too creepy to see posted everywhere.

[–] Phoenicianpirate@lemm.ee 18 points 2 weeks ago

Elon Musk without hair looks like a smarmy ancient Egyptian bureaucrat who is way in over his head and ends up being executed shortly after being told to perform a routine task.

[–] infinite_ass@leminal.space 7 points 2 weeks ago

I would normally kneejerk at any mention of Christianity but since it's our favorite whipping boy I'll go with it.

[–] CreatingMachines@fedia.io 7 points 2 weeks ago
[–] fire86743@lemmygrad.ml 6 points 2 weeks ago

Inshallah, Elon is the Judas to Trump's Jesus.

[–] barbedbeard@lemmy.one 2 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

It was Elonia all along

[–] AnarchoBolshevik@lemmygrad.ml 1 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I think that the comparison to Judas Iscariot is unfair. Judas got dealt a lousy hand in life, having to play the role of a snitch to fulfill a divine prophecy. He suffered pangs of conscience for betraying J.C., so he unsuccessfully tried to return the blood money that he received. He was so upset with the situation that he hanged himself. (That instantly makes me think of the M*A*S*H theme.)

Judas Iscariot is better than Elon Musk in every way imaginable. It's not even a contest.

[–] OldWoodFrame@lemm.ee 1 points 2 weeks ago

Matthew says he hanged himself, Luke (in Acts) says he...bought a field and burst open in it.

Acts 1 18:

"With the payment he received for his wickedness, Judas bought a field; there he fell headlong, his body burst open and all his intestines spilled out"

Doesn't change your point really I just think it's a fun inconsistency to think about. One option so much weirder than the other.
