— Elon Musk (@elonmusk) November 8, 2025 The video is eerie, to say the least. It starts with an AI-generated woman giving a rather concerned expression before smiling in that fake way real humans sometimes do without using their eyes. Smiling without your eyes is famously a hallmark of a fake smile. The audio is also not very well synced to the video, as you can see above. But whatever the technical limitations of Musk’s Grok, the real story here is just how much the wealthiest person in the world seems to be struggling with a lack of human connection. Musk’s desire for love and companionship is understandable, if that’s what’s going on. It’s what all of us want in our lives. It’s only human. However, it’s easy to see why that might be hard for Musk, especially when it comes to a romantic partner, given his attitudes on women and their role in society. Back in July, Musk pushed the idea that women were “anti-white” because they’re physically weak. He’s described empathy as a weakness, and has been blamed for contributing to the deaths of an estimated 600,000 people through his role in destroying USAID while the head of DOGE, according to the New Yorker. Musk is disconnected from humanity and insulated by his wealth, but he also seems to be suffering from a self-imposed exile into a fantasy world of his own creation. The Tesla CEO purchased Twitter in late 2022 and promptly set about changing the platform’s algorithm to make sure he saw more praise from his fans. He allowed anyone with $8 to buy a worthless blue “verification” checkmark and tweaked the way Twitter (now X) works to make sure those replies are at the top of all posts. Effectively, Musk made it so that the people willing to pay him money are the people whose replies will be the most visible. The billionaire’s AI endeavors, with Grok and his company xAI, seem to serve that same goal of creating a fantasy universe for one man. Musk told Joe Rogan during a recent podcast that he predicts pretty much everything people consume will eventually be AI-generated. And it suggests that’s the world he wants to live in. “Most of what people consume in five or six years, maybe sooner than that, will be just AI-generated content. So music, videos…” Musk told Rogan. The podcaster replied that he loved AI-generated music, seeming to confirm Musk’s thesis among the demographic of extremely rich, 50-something men. Musk thinks this version of the future is what people really want—fake content that caters to your desires—because he’s so detached from humanity. As he told Joe Rogan: “Most of what people consume in five or six years, maybe sooner than that, will be just AI-generated content. So music, videos…”
