How did we find out the truth?: We checked Musk and Kejriwal's social media handles and did not find any such picture of them together.

We noticed discrepancies in the image, for example, Musk's hand had a weirdly shaped cut/bulge.
We also noticed Kejriwal's teeth to be aligned differently than reality and his fingernails to be extra smooth.
