AI-animated satire from DOOOD What The?!. Reacts to a real news story; see transcript below.
Dooood! What the? Okay, check this out. Elon Musk went to a state dinner in Beijing. And his face made faces nobody asked it to make. The smile has latency. We are aware. The eyebrows are still in beta. This twitch ships Tuesday. Seth Meyers ran it twice. China saw the demo. Duuude... What the. (sigh)
Elon Musk attended a state dinner in Beijing, where his facial expressions became a topic of discussion due to their unusual and uncontrolled nature.
The episode uses humor to suggest that Musk’s facial movements are like technical glitches, with phrases such as 'the smile has latency' and 'eyebrows still in beta,' highlighting the unexpected nature of his expressions.
Both Chinese attendees and Western media, including late-night show host Seth Meyers, noted and joked about Musk’s facial movements at the state dinner.
DOOOD What The?! satirizes the event by personifying Musk's face as if it were a malfunctioning piece of technology, with references to software updates and technical issues.
While primarily a source of humor, the incident reflects how public figures' personal quirks can become significant media stories in diplomatic settings.
