Y’all are cooked if you can’t see how those things differ.

If you take a drawn cartoon of Elon and that picture of Elon and just send them out into wild without any additional information or context nobody is going to share the cartoon under the false assumption that it’s real. The altered photo will absolutely trick most people as evidence that many people here didn’t know this image wasn’t real right away.

Having the viewer be aware of the exaggeration is important.
