Bizarre photo of 'Elon Musk kissing a robot' goes viral
A photo of Elon Musk kissing a female humanoid robot has gone viral, but everything is not as it seems. Billionaire Musk is known for being at the forefront of modern technology, with his ventures including industries such as space travel and electric vehicles. Following new footage that reveals Tesla’s integrated robot Optimus can walk, navigate and pick things up, AI-generated images of Musk kissing female-looking humanoids have gone viral. They emerged alongside a tweet by Twitter user Daniel Marven, in which he claimed the Tesla and Twitter CEO is designing a robot “that has been manufactured specifically designed with artificial intelligence with the personality and the characteristics of the female that he dreams of”.

Unlike the real Tesla robots, the AI-generated ones have distinctive human-like facial features. The images possess some of the current tell-tale signs that an image has been created by AI – for example, the hand on one of the robots possess too many fingers, while the hands on other robots in the images are distorted. Some of the viral images appear to have been created by the same user who was behind the viral image of Pope Francis wearing a puffer jacket, Pablo Xavier. On Instagram, one user joked: “Elon finally found his soulmate(s).” Someone on Twitter said: “iRobot is about to be reality.” While the images are fake, many are impressed with the advancements that Tesla has made with its real robot, Optimus.

Who are the biggest names on The Sunday Times Rich List 2023?
The Sunday Times Rich List has just dropped and some big names have made the cut. The annual survey estimates the wealthiest people in the UK and this year it features the King, the Prime Minister, and a handful of pop stars, as well as many business people you probably haven't heard of. It found there are 171 billionaires in the UK — down from 177 in 2022 and that many people's fortunes have decreased. Sir Richard Branson’s fortune has shrunk by 42.6 per cent to £2.41 billion, for instance. But that is still a lot of money, so we won't cry him a river. Sign up to our free Indy100 weekly newsletter Aside from Branson, here are some of the biggest names on the list. James Dyson Coming in at number five on the list, the hoover and airwrap magnate has a wealth of £23bn. A decent wedge. Mike Ashley The SportsDirect entrepreneur came 49th on the list. Richard Branson As said, he's lost a bit of money but he is still the 77th richest individual in the UK. Lord Sugar Best known for starring in The Apprentice, the businessman's £1.074bn coffers landed him spot number 165 this year. Sir Paul McCartney and his wife Nancy Shevell They have a pretty decent £950m. A pretty penny (lane). JK Rowling The controversial Harry Potter writer has magicked herself up £875m thanks to her writing talent. King Charles III With £600m, he comes in at 263 on the list. The Warburton Family There must be a reason why the saying "the best thing since sliced bread" is so well-known given sliced bread champions the Warburton family have £586m. Rishi Sunak and Akshata Murphy And sliced bread is clearly better than politics given the PM and his wife have £529m, down £201m from the previous year. Lord Lloyd-Webber With £504m, the Lloyd-Webber comes in at number 283. Sir Elton John The Rocketman crooner has £450. David and Victoria Beckham With £425m, the Beckham's have enough money to support their son through his various bizzare careers. Simon Cowell Cowell clearly has The X Factor. At number 337, he has £390m. Then there is the under 35 list. Ed Sheeran Sheeran comes in at seventh place with an estimated wealth of £300m. His sixth album Subtract was the UK's fastest selling in 2023. Adele Adele came in at ninth with £165m, thanks to selling more than 100 million albums. Harry Styles Styles is in joint 13th place with £150m. Dua Lipa Coming in at number 21 is Dua Lipa with an estimated £75m from music, modelling and podcasting. Daniel Radcliffe Radcliffe was 18th with £92m. Emma Watson Watson has an estimated wealth of £60m. Alright for some, eh! Have your say in our news democracy.
