Summary

A fake image depicting President Donald Trump, Elon Musk, and Jensen Huang raising their fists in front of a Chinese flag while swearing allegiance to the Chinese Communist Party was identified as false. The image, which mimicked a CCTV news bulletin, was posted on X by the @aintscarylarry account on May 14, 2026. Fact-checkers found no credible news reports or documentation supporting the claim, and the image displayed common signs of AI generation, including unnatural skin textures, poor blending at the neck, mismatched lighting, and distorted fingers and wrists.
