PTC News Desk: A recent Facebook post has circulated an image purportedly showing Elon Musk dining with a “𝚛𝚘𝚋𝚘𝚝 girlfriend,” but this image is actually an AI-generated creation. The post features a photo of Musk seated at a restaurant table next to a woman with blonde hair and a gray 𝚛𝚘𝚋𝚘𝚝ic body, accompanied by a caption claiming Musk has introduced his first AI-powered 𝚛𝚘𝚋𝚘𝚝 girlfriend.

The August 10 Facebook post reads: “Elon Musk has announced his first 𝚛𝚘𝚋𝚘𝚝 girlfriend, with artificial intelligence. Musk said he took her out to dinner and enjoyed talking to her, calling her smart, beautiful, and obedient … Wow this is so crazy!!” Similar posts have appeared on Instagram and Facebook, including versions in Spanish, falsely asserting that the image depicts Musk’s 𝚛𝚘𝚋𝚘𝚝 girlfriend.

Meta, the parent company of Facebook, flagged these posts as part of its initiative to tackle misinformation on its platform. No credible sources or statements from Tesla or Elon Musk corroborate the claim that he has created a 𝚛𝚘𝚋𝚘𝚝 girlfriend.

Upon performing a reverse-image search, PolitiFact discovered that the original image was posted on July 23 by the X account @iamnot_elon. The image, captioned “Will this be normal soon?” is part of a parody account known for posting AI-generated images, including ones featuring Musk and other public figures like Donald Trump and Kamala Harris.

In summary, the image of Elon Musk with a “𝚛𝚘𝚋𝚘𝚝 girlfriend” is a product of artificial intelligence and not a reflection of any real event or development involving Musk.
