Elon Musk is Sherlock Holmes (movie trailer parody)

Depending on your own leanings, you'll find this Amusing, Controversial, Creative and/or Informative. For the moment, we're popping it into our Amusing category. It's a two-minute movie trailer parody playing with artificial intelligence (AI) and the fictional detective character of Sherlock Holmes, created at the end of the 19th century by British writer and physician Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. The Holmes character continues to inhabit many imaginations, movies, events, and of course a famous London tourist attraction in the shape of his 'home'. What do you make of this parody incarnation, which re-invents Holmes' uncanny detecting abilities in the apparent body of modern-day multi-billionaire Elon Musk? The 53-year-old - best known for his roles in electric vehicles company Tesla, Space tech outfit SpaceX, and communications channel X (formerly Twitter) - now heads the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) in the new and second administration of President Donald Trump, and his vigorous investigations into organisations such as USAID are already throwing up mighty waves with global afterclaps.
