@[email protected] & @[email protected] I see the news article and see the logic behind it, but this can't possibly be the only pic out there. I am not denying Elon isn't Nazi. He definitely is and everything he touches is now, lightly put, tainted.

But there has to be another angle or even a video. Just a single blurry pic immediately seems suspicious to me.

No worries, it's okay to be skeptical! Especially in this day and age when this could be some deep fake, Photoshop, or AI imagine. I get it.

The Newsweek link above says that a couple of groups beamed the image onto the building, which explains why the brightness is off.

Those aren't amateurs slapping together a protest with an office projector, the ZPS is a 100-strong art collective with plenty of connections into the tinker space. They know what they're doing and it's not their first projection, much of the stuff they're doing is way more involved and takes a lot more work and planning than finding a car to pull their projection trailer to a suitable spot.
