A donkey and an elephant are in suits and both hold a paper with the words “Allegations of Domestic Violence and Sexual Misconduct” written on them. The donkey kicks out two men labeled “Swalwell” and “Platner”. The elephant stands by men labeled “Miller” and “Mills” who are leering at each other and holding phones. The donkey says to the elephant, “Your turn.”

This cartoon is titled “If the AI Bubble Bursts.” It depicts a rich guy on a sailing vessel. He wears a top hat, cane, and holds a bag of money. He points at a lifeboat labeled “Gov’t Bailouts” and says, “Haha! There’ll only be lifeboats for us billionaires!”
