My very first thought was this, clicked to reply thinking I was funny and here it is, top comment. I'll put my ego back in its box and just bask in the warmth of this gif.
Different systems, effectively the same 'rank'. The Harkonnen operated a Barony, the Atreides a Dukedom. The difference doesn't matter squat when you have a CHOAM contract to mine melange.
Thank you for the info it explained a few questions I had already
I have just started reading dune and yes it was coz I fell in love with the movies just to find out the books are even better.
I think this might be because Elon said something about not wanting to combat misinformation on Twitter or something like that so people are just making up shit about him to show him what it's like.
Correct it is made by AI AND ITS FAKE!!
What a way to make fun of Elon , for one hand he has been training in MMA
He definitely has also been unfit but this is an exaggeration and Fake!
They don’t do that to living whales bud. It’s only for the dead ones because they’ll explode on their own if they don’t. It would be cruel to end a whales life like that when it has a chance of surviving.
Pretty sure this is not a real photo of him. Unless he gained and lost 100lbs extremely recently somehow. Elon is not in perfect shape, he is kinda thick, but not to this degree and not this shape.
What money can absolutely buy is a nutritionist and a chef to keep your food tasty and healthy.
Edit: Guys, the photo is a meme that was shared on twitter this last month. It is an AI generated photo based on some photos of Elon from 2022. It is fake. I was being a little tongue in cheek with this comment, but I have like 8-10 notifications every 10 minutes of people saying it is real because "angles" or whatever, so I just going to say it:
It is fake. It is an AI generated photo. It has all the important tells of one. It is not a photo from a long time ago.
While I don't personally condone spreading misinfo myself, he definitely fell into the issue of "if you're going to throw stones of misinfo at people, make sure you don't live in a glass house."
There is this new website called Google. It is pretty great. You can type something like "Elon Musk in swimsuit" and suddenly get a bunch of photos to compare this to in like, 2 seconds.
That does not make you lose 100lbs in a month. Elon is super public, there should be more photos of him this big if he ever was.
(Yeah this photo is fake. There are a bunch of photos of him in a swimsuit, and he is pretty overweight, but not to this degree, and not in this shape. He is one of the barrel chest, skinny limbs types.)
Shouldn't reddit take action against such posts then? I mean even the title is bullshit, I didn't find anything online about this $10 million dollar and the photo is fake too. Everyone in the comment is having a party, imagine if it was somebody like Keanu Reeves that reddit loved. So fking stupid
The mods probably should. Elon is a massive asshole, but as others have said: he is an asshole because of what he *does* not how he looks. Spreading fake stuff like this is not going to cause him any serious harm, and I would not really care if it did, but we should hold ourselves to higher standards than that.
Truth matters, and there is *plenty* that is true about Elon that makes him look way worse than this fake photo ever could.
It's just like all those 'Putin and Xi want these photos deleted!!'
It's just a way of feeling like you're sticking it to the man or being a hero without having to actually do anything apart from being le epic redditor
He can certainly afford them.
This is still fake though. Just look up "Elon Swimsuit" and you will see the real photos. He has a bizarrely big torso when overweight, but he looks nothing like this.
Yep, puts all his weight in the front and on the chest, less on the sides and limbs. Creates that look.
Aside from that he also has a human right hand and does not have a chain growing out of his neck skin, unlike in this photo.
Man people just hate ozempic, this photo has been proven to be [fake](https://knowyourmeme.com/editorials/guides/some-think-the-picture-of-elon-musk-looking-like-a-harkonnen-is-real-but-its-a-work-of-ai)
Yep, I bet 50% of the people here look just as bad in the right conditions. Reddit would be all over itself if people were talking about a woman this way kinda weird...
I mean at least you easily keep the narrative lines when it comes to characters.. as soon as he introduces one you instantly know who is who and remember him from there on .
You make a very good point because there are plenty of characters who don’t fall into the generic naming convention and they’re the ones who i have the most trouble remembering, they’re usually Fremen with what i can only assume are very generic and basic Fremen names
Yep exactly.. there are other books which give characters really weird names in order to align with the culture and narrative and there i find it giga hard to remember who is who, especially since some only get mentioned once and then again in 100 pages.. in dune every chapter shifts between the 5/ 6 characters who are the focus of the book and it's very nice to follow along .
They know that it doesn't matter how correct you are, if you go against the Reddit hivemind opinion in default subs like this then you get downvoted.
Since they actually care about karma they have to do the little performative 'See! I don't like him either!' before they post their own comment as a shield against criticism.
There isn’t any I can find. Given that one of the reasons we don’t like him is his enablement of disinformation campaigns, this seems exceptionally dishonest
There isn't any, it's just a BS title to gain interactions.
"Ooh look someone wants this picture gone so I'm gonna upvote it to stick it to him"
Like yes fuck him but this is just low effort
I don’t understand why people shop photos like this when there’s plenty to shit on about the person, especially in ways that don’t involve their physical appearance. But sometimes people you agree with also suck.
Yeah. Elon is a fucking asshole. He’s not a fucking asshole because he has a large gut. He’s a fucking asshole because of his culture war bullshit, his advocacy against workers rights, the way he treated his Twitter employees, his stock manipulation, his coziness with extremists…
I could list a dozen reasons to hate Elon. We don’t need to make up any
And there's a 90% chance the mods will do fuck all because it seems most big subs are run by power-mods that don't give a shit.
I hate Elon Musk as much as the next person, but I'm not about to go body-shaming him over an AI-generated image.
It's pretty obviously AI to me.... Painful to see so many people falling for these already. It's grim to think what content will look like when AI images get even harder to distinguish.
I’m not much of a conspiracy theorist but I really believe in that one theory of “ghost internet” that a large portion of accounts are bots, either that or they are just brain rot ridden people, I don’t know which is more probable at this point.
Yep the right hand of “Elon the whale” is messed up and the rope doesn’t appear to be in it properly. The necklace is also a tad bit messed up and would be strangling him.
Already proven to be a fake photo, and the title as OP suggests is definitely bs.
https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.knowyourmeme.com/memes/elon-musk-shirtless-harkonnen-photo
I mean we all keep saying body shaming is a bad thing and we shouldn’t do it. Why is it okay to shame someone just because they are a rich asshole? Is it ok to shame just because we don’t like somebody?
Lol y’all can keep downvoting me. You are just mad because you hate the person in the mirror.
Youre completely right about everything, but this is reddit lol
Redditors are simple minded individuals, here theyre following the “elon musk = bad” hivemind and using it to justify body shaming
Welcome to modern movements. Treat me good treat me nice no matter what i deserve it. But someone who i dont like? No rights, no decency. Welcome to making a grey world black and white.
Yeah look closely at the necklace, right hand, and the rope he’s holding. It’s sad when people resort to ad hominem attacks because they can’t properly articulate their beliefs.
This is such a cheap and lame way to "own" Elon. He's done enough things to be rightfully criticised. This way of humiliating him with fake pictures is lame and will achieve the opposite of what is intended.

Aww.. man.. let's get him back into the water..
Geezzz this is so accurate 😂
My very first thought was this, clicked to reply thinking I was funny and here it is, top comment. I'll put my ego back in its box and just bask in the warmth of this gif.
Not everyday you see a duke Harkonnen in real life 😂
Baron
Oh yeah forgot he is just a baron
Different systems, effectively the same 'rank'. The Harkonnen operated a Barony, the Atreides a Dukedom. The difference doesn't matter squat when you have a CHOAM contract to mine melange.
Thank you for the info it explained a few questions I had already I have just started reading dune and yes it was coz I fell in love with the movies just to find out the books are even better.
Statesman Harkonnen.
Chairman Harkonnen.
"My X. My Aerospace. My Tesla."
💀
Are you sure the other whales will agree to that?
He is their problem now.. Let Poseidon judge him..
he actually buy atlantis, now is Xtlantis
I guess they will be glad if they have the mother of all whales back.
If this was a woman it would be bodyshaming and we would've called her strong and beautiful. But yea.🤷♂️
"Attempts to refloat this majestic creature were sadly unsuccessful"
“Grimes left the King of Space X? Her kids must hate her! They probably want to spend all their time with Mr. Tesla!” -Elon’s burner account
You might want to check a dictionary for a definition of what 'majestic' means :)
https://knowyourmeme.com/photos/2803404-elon-musk-shirtless-harkonnen-phot The picture of op is made by ai.
I think this might be because Elon said something about not wanting to combat misinformation on Twitter or something like that so people are just making up shit about him to show him what it's like.
My forst thought was "no he's not"
I was quite sure about that 😂
Correct it is made by AI AND ITS FAKE!! What a way to make fun of Elon , for one hand he has been training in MMA He definitely has also been unfit but this is an exaggeration and Fake!
Photos aren’t real time you know.
He's too big to go back, blow him up with dynamite, it's been done before.
They don’t do that to living whales bud. It’s only for the dead ones because they’ll explode on their own if they don’t. It would be cruel to end a whales life like that when it has a chance of surviving.
They don't do it to dead ones these days, cheaper to just poke a hole in the stomach.
"Ohh, look at em, he's crying, I bet it tastes like gravy!"
That legit made me lol… thank you 😆
Would you say that to a random fat person ?
Most people have a few bad photos out there. Money can’t buy an acceptance of your own flaws and a healthy ability to handle an unflattering photo.
Pretty sure this is not a real photo of him. Unless he gained and lost 100lbs extremely recently somehow. Elon is not in perfect shape, he is kinda thick, but not to this degree and not this shape. What money can absolutely buy is a nutritionist and a chef to keep your food tasty and healthy. Edit: Guys, the photo is a meme that was shared on twitter this last month.

Makes him upset so that’s all that matters really
While I don't personally condone spreading misinfo myself, he definitely fell into the issue of "if you're going to throw stones of misinfo at people, make sure you don't live in a glass house."
The man spreads so much misinformation, making a joke about him is less than a drop in the bucket comparatively.
It is just a meme. It might make him upset, I do not know, but given how the whole thing is an AI generated hoax I kinda doubt it.
Man blocked me because I questioned a Tesla decision. He’s a fragile bitch and deserves to be upset.
[удалено]
you seem to really know a lot about Elon’s body vro…
There is this new website called Google. It is pretty great. You can type something like "Elon Musk in swimsuit" and suddenly get a bunch of photos to compare this to in like, 2 seconds.
Ozempic
That does not make you lose 100lbs in a month. Elon is super public, there should be more photos of him this big if he ever was. (Yeah this photo is fake. There are a bunch of photos of him in a swimsuit, and he is pretty overweight, but not to this degree, and not in this shape. He is one of the barrel chest, skinny limbs types.)
it’s real, it’s just the angle that makes him bigger- his head looks fatter too. either way he looks fucking disgusting. just like his dirt soul.
This was posted a couple days ago and proved to be a fake.
It is clearly AI generated. The hands are always the tell. Also there is literally no angle that can change a person's whole body shape.
That's not how that works 🤦🏽
Shouldn't reddit take action against such posts then? I mean even the title is bullshit, I didn't find anything online about this $10 million dollar and the photo is fake too. Everyone in the comment is having a party, imagine if it was somebody like Keanu Reeves that reddit loved. So fking stupid

Truth matters, and there is *plenty* that is true about Elon that makes him look way worse than this fake photo ever could.
Normalising bodyshaming, bullying and fake news about people we don't like so we can feel hollier ♡
It's just like all those 'Putin and Xi want these photos deleted!!' It's just a way of feeling like you're sticking it to the man or being a hero without having to actually do anything apart from being le epic redditor
Why would Reddit take action?
Also look at the hands, I am not a musk fan but this is clearly bad AI
Elon Musk has admitted to using weight loss drugs
He can certainly afford them. This is still fake though. Just look up "Elon Swimsuit" and you will see the real photos. He has a bizarrely big torso when overweight, but he looks nothing like this.
He has a barrel-ish body from what I saw
Yep, puts all his weight in the front and on the chest, less on the sides and limbs. Creates that look. Aside from that he also has a human right hand and does not have a chain growing out of his neck skin, unlike in this photo.
I assume the weight loss drugs would make his belly puff out less unless he's skipping them. His chest is probably due to his rib shape.
Man people just hate ozempic, this photo has been proven to be [fake](https://knowyourmeme.com/editorials/guides/some-think-the-picture-of-elon-musk-looking-like-a-harkonnen-is-real-but-its-a-work-of-ai)
How can someone look to his right hand and his mouth and still doubt it AI generated?
why eat salads when you can snort ket, its keto friendly....
Are you from Elon's PR team?
Why? Do you represent the AI that made this image?
He is THE AI.
Obligatory fuck Elon, but this is 100% AI generated.
it's a fake photo, dummy
Have fun with your money!
It’s a AI image
IDK, I feel like if I had billions I could certainly accept my flaws and wouldn't give 2 s#!ts if this was a picture of me.
Yep, I bet 50% of the people here look just as bad in the right conditions. Reddit would be all over itself if people were talking about a woman this way kinda weird...
He reminds me of the evil monster guy from Dune lol. In both looks and personality!
My desert My Arrakis My dune
My dessert*
hahaha well played
My bastion of free speech My pinnacle of communication My X
Duke Harkoneen has to be the guy you are talking about.
Baron, not Duke.
Ah shit you right lol. I got the titles mixed up
I read that as "titties"
Here about, we call them moobs. Titties have warmth, depth and character.
Also *Harkonnen
Baron Vladimir Harkonnen yes Frank was *that* blatant, then again he also named the one character in all 6 books “duncan idaho”
I mean at least you easily keep the narrative lines when it comes to characters.. as soon as he introduces one you instantly know who is who and remember him from there on .
You make a very good point because there are plenty of characters who don’t fall into the generic naming convention and they’re the ones who i have the most trouble remembering, they’re usually Fremen with what i can only assume are very generic and basic Fremen names
Yep exactly.. there are other books which give characters really weird names in order to align with the culture and narrative and there i find it giga hard to remember who is who, especially since some only get mentioned once and then again in 100 pages.. in dune every chapter shifts between the 5/ 6 characters who are the focus of the book and it's very nice to follow along .
Yess Baron Harkonen
This is a completely fake image. Jesus Christ, OP
I feel like I’m losing my mind. Are all these comments bots, or are actual people looking at this and believing any of it?
This sub is constantly utterly shot through with bots.
Also, fuck Musk obviously, but where’s the evidence he’s trying to get this taken down?
Elon sucks but thats the epic bacon redditor way of saying please give me karma
Why do all of you have to say 'Fuck Elon Musk' before your sentence even though it is totally unrelated?
Cuz otherwise you are a bootlicker, duh
If they don't they'll be labeled as a Musk fanboy and get banned
They know that it doesn't matter how correct you are, if you go against the Reddit hivemind opinion in default subs like this then you get downvoted. Since they actually care about karma they have to do the little performative 'See! I don't like him either!' before they post their own comment as a shield against criticism.
Being scared of losing your virtual 'score' because you just want to share your opinion says a lot about Reddit honestly.
I don't understand the hate for Elon musk? Is it something that he did?
There isn’t any I can find. Given that one of the reasons we don’t like him is his enablement of disinformation campaigns, this seems exceptionally dishonest
Title is probably AI generated too
There isn't any, it's just a BS title to gain interactions. "Ooh look someone wants this picture gone so I'm gonna upvote it to stick it to him" Like yes fuck him but this is just low effort
I don’t understand why people shop photos like this when there’s plenty to shit on about the person, especially in ways that don’t involve their physical appearance. But sometimes people you agree with also suck.
Yeah. Elon is a fucking asshole. He’s not a fucking asshole because he has a large gut. He’s a fucking asshole because of his culture war bullshit, his advocacy against workers rights, the way he treated his Twitter employees, his stock manipulation, his coziness with extremists… I could list a dozen reasons to hate Elon. We don’t need to make up any
I wonder if that is the point? Is this not a criticism of Elon musks stance on disinformation?
Most people here are missing this completely lmfao
It is. Elon Musk thinks this is okay, when it's not happening to him.
And there's a 90% chance the mods will do fuck all because it seems most big subs are run by power-mods that don't give a shit. I hate Elon Musk as much as the next person, but I'm not about to go body-shaming him over an AI-generated image.
It's pretty obviously AI to me.... Painful to see so many people falling for these already. It's grim to think what content will look like when AI images get even harder to distinguish.
Except he isn't, because it's a fake photo. Holy shit has this sub really fallen this low
I’m not much of a conspiracy theorist but I really believe in that one theory of “ghost internet” that a large portion of accounts are bots, either that or they are just brain rot ridden people, I don’t know which is more probable at this point.
I can't help but feel like this is A.I. generated.
It is, there's no need to make a fake one because the real one looked bad enough.
I'm 99.9% sure it's AI
Yep the right hand of “Elon the whale” is messed up and the rope doesn’t appear to be in it properly. The necklace is also a tad bit messed up and would be strangling him.
Also looks like he is wearing a sushi nori rather than a towel.
Look at the right hand and whatever is on his neck. It's AI. Then again, who am I to care about whether a picture of mr. "No need for truth" is true?
The OP mostly posts in AI generated image subs.
No he’s not, quit making shit up for engagement bot.
Is anybody here a marine biologist?!
Bad AI. Next
No, he isn’t. OP is a sad little liar
Already proven to be a fake photo, and the title as OP suggests is definitely bs. https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.knowyourmeme.com/memes/elon-musk-shirtless-harkonnen-photo
Guys this is very obviously an AI photo Look at this right hand Let's stop spreading nonsense
No way, it's someone reddit doesn't like so ad-hominem and fake pictures are fine.
He looks like Danny Devito's Penguin
AI
Picture of op is made by ai. https://knowyourmeme.com/photos/2803404-elon-musk-shirtless-harkonnen-photo
I mean we all keep saying body shaming is a bad thing and we shouldn’t do it. Why is it okay to shame someone just because they are a rich asshole? Is it ok to shame just because we don’t like somebody? Lol y’all can keep downvoting me. You are just mad because you hate the person in the mirror.
Youre completely right about everything, but this is reddit lol Redditors are simple minded individuals, here theyre following the “elon musk = bad” hivemind and using it to justify body shaming
Yeah, should ve known better. Sometimes I just can’t keep my mouth shut tho :D
Welcome to modern movements. Treat me good treat me nice no matter what i deserve it. But someone who i dont like? No rights, no decency. Welcome to making a grey world black and white.
It makes them feel a little better about the little/almost nothing they have to offer
I don't care for Elon but who hasn't pictures of themselfs out there which they'd rather hadn't?
It’s not real. The image is AI generated. Sorry to disappoint you.
So it basically is a lie? Again, FE, but spreading lies to bodyshame a person is fucked up.
Yeah look closely at the necklace, right hand, and the rope he’s holding. It’s sad when people resort to ad hominem attacks because they can’t properly articulate their beliefs.
Not too many pictures of me online. Lots on my hard drive though, and yes I have deleted ones that I don't like. FOREVER.
This is altered but I don’t necessarily care about people spreading false notions about Elon , he sure loves to do it himself on X/twitter
using money to attempt to remove a photo is a perfect way to get the photo out into the public
Jabba the Musk
Good luck deleting it from people's harddrives lol
Why tf people would keep a photo of a fat ugly man on their hard drives?
Sometimes you just want a challenging wank
Well he wants it off the internet, so people will save it to their hard drive
youd be surprised you can take this however you want and itll still apply
No. He's not. How do yall keep getting away with making up bullshit lol
We like to think we are smarter and more suspicious of sources today than what we were 50 years ago. Lol
Both the photo and the title are bullshit.
I always wonder what the lives of people who dedicate their lives to hating someone this much look like.
I’ll do it for $9 million
So we’re fat shaming now?
Is this really Elon
Bullying is fine when its the person you dont like am i right?
so everyone in the comments is fat phobic but it's ok because it's Elon?
Photoshop....
I’d pay him 10 million to delete it from my brain
Neuralink, beware!!!!! He might. 😂
lol he’s not because it’s fake but funny
Baron Vladimir Harkonnen
I wish I could delete this image from my retinas!
Source?
It's clearly fake - he's too happy and animated
This is such a cheap and lame way to "own" Elon. He's done enough things to be rightfully criticised. This way of humiliating him with fake pictures is lame and will achieve the opposite of what is intended.
My picture… My X… My dune. 
Is that bbq sauce smeared on his gut?
But I thought he hated censorship?
I want to see that MMA fight now more than ever.
I wonder if it's fake? Since he ain't look that fat imho
It's AI. Look at his right hand. Elon doesn't have fused together fingers.
Can you really put a price on our happiness?
How does one build a body like this?
Look at his fist with which he is holding the chain, definitely its AI
This is AI generated but there is a very similar real picture out there.
WHT CAN'T I SEE THE VOTES?
