Hang on,
this guythe AP seriously took a picture where there is no injury to his ear? What was all the blood then? This one needs independent corroboration.2 weeks is plenty of time for a shallow, skin-only graze to heal. And ear cuts can bleed a ton.
Ears, scalp, cuticles… all places that bleed like crazy.
Especially when you’re on blood thinners
In addition, a competent plastic surgeon would likely make it look like it had never happened. I hope he goes to jail for the crimes he committed, but do people really expect him to wear an ear diaper the rest of his life?
Honestly, I thought he would milk it until the election somehow. We can’t be right all the time I guess!
Note that I believe he will milk it forever, but he’s also fairly vain.
He wears orange facepaint every day, so yeah, I did.
There was supposedly a big chunk out of his ear. Now it’s just a skin-only graze that heals super fast? Very convenient
I was thinking the same thing. But something tells me the people who’d be in charge of banning the photographer, if not Musk himself, wouldn’t know that.
When an octopus gets frightened it releases ink to confuse predators. Due to his love of hamburgers Donnie releases catsup.
Do not bring us cephalopods into this.
Well they do say imitation is the best form of flattery.
Not when it’s Elon!
No, that’s just mental illness.
I’m down to flatter ol’ Elonald with some immolation.

Wait they replaced your ear drum with cartilage? Does it work? Can you hear?

Wow sounds intense. Hope things are good and glad you can still hear.
For real! The procedure sounds crazier the longer I read, all the way until removing the tiny bones and replacing them. Hugely impressive that modern medicine allows for working with such delicate and small structures.
The AP does indeed claim that this photo is from July 27, but I think that date is wrong. I can’t find this exact picture elsewhere but here’s an article with an almost identical picture of him climbing the same stairs, published in March.Blue and black suit. Airplane fuselage in the background of one. Different angles of his face, different lighting. They are similar, but I wouldn’t call them nearly identical.
And yet here is another source with a different photo recently, so there’s no reason to think this tweet’s photo is deceptive:

It looks entirely consistent.
I stand corrected.
Could simply be his other ear and photograph is just mirrored. Like screens, you raise your left hand but to your reflection it’s its right hand.
Seems unlikely since it was posted by the guy who took the picture.
His asymmetric haircut would give it away.
I think he wasn’t hit by a bullet but by shrapnel from something else that was hit. It’ probably superficial.
