An image of a baby Elon Musk is making waves on the internet, showing the billionaire as a toddler with a white button-up shirt, brown overalls and signature haircut.
The adorable (or possibly creepy?) photo is not from the billionaire’s own family archives, however, but was made by a Twitter user with the help of artificial intelligence.
The creative individual tweeted: ‘Elon Musk was reportedly working on some anti-aging formula, but it got way out of hand.’
The Tesla CEO took the opportunity to respond, posting: ‘Guys, I think I maybe took too much.’
Users flocked to the comment section of the image, many joking that Musk is ‘the real Boss Baby.’

AI-generated images have taken over the internet in recent months, some sparking joy and others causing terror.
In March, a photo of Pope Francis donning a huge white puffer jacket immediately fooled the internet.
The image was outrageous enough to prompt Chrissy Teigen, 37, to address her 12.9 million Twitter followers.
The model and TV personality wrote: ‘I thought the pope’s puffer jacket was real and didn’t give it a second thought. No way am I surviving the future of technology.’
And in the same month, a gallery of snaps showing shocking scenes of Donald Trump being tackled to the ground by police officers.
This was around the same time the former president was due to be indicted over allegations he paid hush money to a porn star. However, the public knew something was off with the images.

Musk also responded to the image showing him as a baby wearing fancy brown overalls
While these were for entertainment, other AI-generated images, like one claiming an explosion occurred at the Pentagon last month, spark fear about the tech.
However, Baby Musk was developed for pure enjoyment.

Twitter user Samantha Sherwin tweeted: ‘Awe, this is so cute. Is little Elon open [to] getting adopted?’
While another user posted: ‘Lol the real boss baby mystery.’
This tweet includes a GIF from the movie Baby Boss.
The creator of the image, ‘Not Jerome Powell,’ also reinvigorated the conversation of Musk getting to Mars by tweeting: ‘Now you have enough time to get to’ the Red Planet.
This was followed up by another user who joked that the probability of Musk living in the Martian world increased by 420 percent.
Other AI-generated images of the billionaire were shared last month, but these show a more bizarre side of the software that left the internet baffled.
The pictures of Musk with several female humanoids have made their rounds on social media.
David Marven, CEO of a construction company, shared the images online asking: ‘Elon Musk announces the future wife, who is she?’
The pictures come after footage of Musk’s humanoid Optimus robot – which was branded ‘cringe’ at its unveiling in September – was seen now managing to leap.

‘It is the first robot that has been manufactured specifically designed with artificial intelligence, with the personality and the characteristics of the female that he dreams of…which is not found in any normal person, because of course, there is no normal person that has all the required specifications,’ Marvin wrote.
He described how ‘Catnilla’ is a solar-powered robot that does not need to be charged and is ‘equipped with sensory means that make her feel sad and happy.’
‘She has a balanced and interactive mindset … so she can share it if she is in a crisis or the feeling that she is experiencing or needs when exposed to any psychological stress,’ Marven added.
But he then revealed that the odd images were made using artificial intelligence.
Marven said the purpose of his post was to ‘clarify the dangers of AI.’
‘Especially after Tesla Company released the first integrated robot ‘Optimus,” he added.
