Es ist schon interessant, wie solche Gestalten wie Özdemir die Geschichte der eigenen Partei bewußt zu verschleiern versuchen: Brokdorf, Startbahn West, Wackersdorf sind die Orte, wo sich die Grünen als politische Kraft etabliert haben, nicht in den Chefetagen von DAX-Unternehmen.
Oh, it surely is a crappy AI prompt. The point I am making here is that Musk's aesthetics are stuck in a past. A past when the various elements of the picture were still considered "cool" to a certain degree, but it's all trite now.
For example, the anime girl in the picture is meant to depict a feature of the Grok LLM, a sexy anime girl chatbot which will slowly wear less and less clothing. Even under the most charitable interpretation, it is cheapest kind of titillation and is no way or form anything new and innovative. Yet Musk puts her in the front anyway. Pretty much every detail in that picture harks back to the past: Cyberpunk atmosphere? We got that for ages! Edgy SuperGrok with a gold chain and a cigar? The look of an R'nB star from (at least) a decade ago!
It's all been done for a long time and it only shows how much Musk is stuck in a past when he considered himself cool and on the cutting edge of pop culture. Yet it all comes down to Musk displaying how much he is out of touch with current pop culture which has progressed further in the meantime.
It all makes sense if you assume that everything Musk does is intended to impress a 4chan nazi circa 2012.
Because I could not believe it myself, I went and checked and it seems to be authentic. Link to a digital version of the book (the picture appears on page 30): https://kokusho.nijl.ac.jp/biblio/100357933/1?ln=ja
"Concord"'s character designs were definitely the least of the game's problems, but - of course - it was what the far-right latched onto. After all, they rarely ever engage with anything beyond the mere surface level.
Oh without doubt: Ubisoft is a terrible company and I am glad that - at least - some of the perpetrators have ended up in court.
My comment was meant to provide examples of how the far-right employs "Go woke, go broke" and how they twist the stories of failed games to fit their deliberately misleading narratives. Unfortunately there are people who fall for those...
Ultimately the far-right loves to bring up examples of well-known flops and box office bombs and then perform mental gymnastics to blame "wokeness" or "DEI" for their failure. Though in most cases, their failure can easily explained due to different factors.
As an example: Sony's infamous flop "Concord", a game which attempted to do some representation in the character design (in itself a bad imitation of what "Apex Legends" had done previously), but "Concord" was terrible from start to finish and overall just another live-service game nobody asked for.
Or take Bioware's "Dragon Age: Veilguard": The far-right loves to insist that it was "wokeness" that killed the game - something that is in itself already a preposterous claim due to Bioware's solid track record of being an inclusive and queer-friendly company. But "DA:V" was doomed right from the start: As Bioware's corporate overlord EA meddled with the production, firing people, restarting the game several times, turning it into a live-service game, then forcing Bioware to strip that out again and finally pushing a badly compromised "DA:V" out of the door after a fruitless 9 years of stop-and-go development.
While I certainly agree with you, I think that the upper crust of TERFdom is much less interested in performative contrarianism than they are in inflicting actual harm. Their ideology is entirely centred on attacking anyone they perceive as a threat to their status. Like most fascists, they justify their merciless cruelty as self-defence and that aligns nicely with Netanyahu's justifications for his genocidal attacks on Palestinians.
