What about that "Cybergirl" that introduced Elon?

She called him her "creator". Just an actress (Grimes) on video with weird almost-flailing gestures or was it an animated AI from a secret Elon project made in the likeness of Grimes?

For real. When she's done talking her expression just goes full neutral like she's waiting for input.

edit: this is not criticism, I loved it, I am genuinely curious if that introduction was artificial. Felt uncanny valley.



Though the delivery could have been better, to me it feels like a "Welcome to Thunderdome" at https://youtu.be/0y3wE0pgXcM?t=201 where Elon is just living out his Mad Max dream. Love it.


She's an artist and Elon's girlfriend, it was probably her idea to appear like an AI hologram.


Wait are they really still dating and is that really Grimes?


I think that's her and that would be really weird if they stopped dating :)


All of the cyberpunk extras in the background during the presentation were super cringe too. The whole thing was just cringe on top of cringe.
