that twitter billionaire's dumbass grok image proposing oil transfer by land through what looks like oman and uae, both currently in range of iranian drones and missiles. the trucks have been replaced by a giant slip n' slide running between the ships and a caption that reads "Pour Oil into Giant Slip n' Slide"

Ohhhhh we've got this notion
That we'd quite like to sail the ocean
So we're building a big boat and building it stat
But there's three of us only
And we don't want to be lonely
So please download Blender and make us a rat

❌ pretty but impractical
❌ often has Jeff Koons in it
