File:Elon Musk at a Press Conference.jpg

And? This was taken at a press conference for a major launch event. There were many photographers and journalists present. Is there anything in particular that makes you doubt the authenticity of this image? — Huntster (t @ c) 03:42, 5 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Keep The picture seems to be from him. But it is not from the SpaceX Demo-1 post-launch press conference rather from the first launch of Falcon Heavy on February 6, 2018. I alter the description. Regards --Ras67 (talk) 14:29, 5 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Huntster: How do you explain (based on Ras67's remarks) that uploader doesn't know when image has been taken. @Dmoberhaus: may you explain some EXIF informations missing at the Flickr account and precise the date and location? --Patrick Rogel (talk) 18:51, 5 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Any number of reasons, I wouldn't presume to guess. As for EXIF, the image looks to me to be processed, and some editing programs strip out EXIF data by default. Plenty of scenarios that can explain things, and I've not seen anything that trips my radar into the red. — Huntster (t @ c) 03:42, 6 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Kept: At first I started checking that this Flickr user (1) is not a pro member on Flickr; (2) does not have EXIF datain their images; (3) joined flickr in 2019; (4) does not have many views on their images, making me believe it was published elsewhere first. This would require us to need permission that the Flickr user (or Commons user) is the proper author. Vice attributes this image (pre-processing of colors) to "Daniel Oberhaus" (one of their staff writers) in an article from 2018 on https://www.vice.com/en_us/article/3k4bmv/elon-musk-boring-company-spacex-utopia. On Daniel’s official website, he specifically specifies that he has licensed images under a CC-license on Flickr and Wikimedia Commons, with links to that specific Flickr account. So, it is official that this is ok and verified. --Jonatan Svensson Glad (talk) 21:54, 13 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
