Was it (source, proof)? Or was it just faked with AI?

It was a still from a film, with actors from the film. Musk deliberately misused it, trying to say Britain is broken. Not only was it Community Noted, West Midlands police had to issue a statement to say it was false, never happened.

As in my post, could you provide proof of that?

I've tried and what I get back is that it's not actually from the film, it's AI

I quoted the source. London Economic.

Ah yes:

"But it wasn’t long before people realised everything about the post was a straight-up lie, because the image was fake, with many saying it was a scene from the film The Dark Knight Rises."

Elon Musk reposted the image claiming to show 'migrants storming a hospital', but it appears to actually be from The Dark Knight Rises.

I'd like to see if it's true

Edit - it's not:

Go ahead. The West Midlands police thought ir was real enough to issue a statement about the internet post.

As far as I’m aware The Dark Knight trilogy of films are not true and are almost certainly fiction.

Indeed they are fiction. But that picture isn't from them.

It’s astonishing that a South African billionaire can bad mouth people or even whole nations for his own amusement, but instead of thinking what harm could be caused, debate rests on if a picture from a fictitious film is real.
Anti Muslim rhetoric? Nah, not important.

What? I just said I thought it was faked with AI as opposed to from a film (pointing out that it's fake either way). I'm pretty sure I was right and I can't see the problem with pointing that out, and then we can carry on with the condemnation of Musk.

You don't have to argue with me about where it's from :shrug:

Musk is now working to stopCommunity Notes on X so nobody can correct his lies. A great big thin skinned snowflake.

SouthSaxon · Thursday at 10:23 PM

At what point do his attempts to foment public disorder on our streets and undermine our democracy warrant X being outright banned?

Mancgull · Thursday at 11:03 PM

I’m coming off X. I don’t have a Tesla and I’ll never buy one and if I had Tesla shares I’d sell them.
How many large pension funds and big investors as well as sane minded individuals will sell Tesla holdings now?
The share movement has been downwards for the last ten weeks and I can see this continuing.

You can have democracy or democracy-rotting websites like X. You can't have both.

Make the choice which is more important.

Needs a thread? As a learned Scottish judge once said to a condemned criminal (who had argued his case very cleverly, albeit without success, quite rightly as he was guilty as hell) "Ach, you're a very clever man, nay doubt, but ye'll be none the worse for a good hanging."

BREAKING: MAGA billionaire Elon Musk picks a fight with a respected commander of the International Space Station and calls him "retarded" after he exposed Musk for a bold-faced lie.

This is who Trump has entrusted with running our government...

It all started when Andreas Mogensen, the Danish astronaut in question, reacted to a clip on X of Musk telling Fox News propagandist Sean Hannity that he plans to "rescue" two astronauts who were "left up there" in space "for political reasons."

Mogensen shared the clip and wrote: "What a lie. And from someone who complains about lack of honesty from the mainstream media."

Musk quickly reacted to the tweet, lashing out with the sort of childish insults that we have come to expect from the allegedly ketamine-addicted oligarch—

"You are fully retarded," wrote Musk. "SpaceX could have brought them back several months ago. I OFFERED THIS DIRECTLY to the Biden administration and they refused. Return WAS pushed back for political reasons. Idiot."

He posted this on Twatter yesterday. Thanks @Triggaaar for sharing. He is leading a concerted effort to rubbish Zelensky's reputation:
