Twitter boss joked he took anti-aging serum
Elon Musk has
responded to an apparently AI-generated image of him as an adult baby.
On
Saturday, Twitter user @alifarh79, a parody account, posted a photo
appearing to show a young Mr Musk in a well-appointed study, wearing fancy
brown overalls.

“BREAKING: Elon Musk was reportedly working on some anti aging formula but it got way out of hand,” the caption on the post reads.

The billionaire Twitter owner, never one to miss an opportunity
to post on his platform, responded by writing, “Guys, I think I maybe took
too much.”
Mr Musk, who regularly engages with his legions of
online fans, was previously edited onto images of himself as a South Asian
groom wearing traditional attire earlier this year, with the AI image
getting a response of “Awesome,” from the tech entrepreneur.
Twitter advertisers, however, don’t seem to think being
associated with Mr Musk is quite so great.
The company’s US ad
revenue is reportedly down more than half since Mr Musk took over last
year.
Between April and May of this year, Twitter made $88m in US
ad revenue, down 59 per cent from the same period last year, TheNew York
Times reported.
Advertisers have reportedly gone so far as to use
built-in Twitter tools to keep their content from appearing next to Mr
Musk’s regular posts, which have promoted transphobic content and other
right-wing causes.
