I don’t think it looks fake, just bizarre like Nancy Pelosis face.

Or Bondo just looks fake everywhere

Musk as usual making up terminology when he doesn’t understand something. Takes half an idea from computer graphics lingo and tries to apply it to physical science effects

This would be a better stellar sight than a Tesla.

I doubt the Tesla’s a fake but that guy’s explanation is ridiculous.

The distance between the camera and the Tesla is so small that an earthly atmosphere if it were present would have virtually undetectable effect on the image at the camera.

There is no bending due to a refractive index effect.

Dust particles between two objects only several feet apart is negligible except under very dusty or foggy conditions.

It was a piece of crass showmanship that even P. T. Barnum would refer to as uncouth.
