‘Haters will say … ‘: Elon Musk shares AI video of himself and Trump dancing to ‘Staying alive’

Elon Musk is back with another viral social media post, this time sharing an AI-generated video featuring himself and former US President Donald Trump dancing to the Bee Gees’ classic hit “Staying Alive.” The video, posted on X (formerly Twitter), shows the tech and political giants grooving in suits, perfectly synced to the disco anthem.
Musk captioned the video with a tongue-in-cheek remark, “Haters will say this is AI,” acknowledging the artificial nature of the video while taking a playful dig at critics.The post quickly caught the attention of Musk’s followers, who enjoyed the unexpected blend of advanced AI technology and retro pop culture.

One X user named Sophie humorously responded to the video, saying, “This is real. I was there when they filmed it.” Musk, known for his witty online interactions, replied, “Your cinematography was ??,” adding to the light-hearted exchange.

While most reactions were in good fun, not everyone was amused. Collin Rugg, another user, took a more serious tone, commenting, “Elon Just Shared a Fake Video of Him and Trump Dancing: Here is How Musk is Trying to Destroy Democracy on X.” This comment reflects the ongoing debate about the impact of AI-generated content on public discourse.

The video also comes at a time when Musk’s AI company, xAI, is making headlines with the beta release of its latest AI models, Grok-2 and Grok-2 Mini. These new models, according to reports from Gadgets 360, offer significant improvements in conversational AI and coding abilities, building on the company’s previous Grok-1.5 version. The models are now available to X Premium and X Premium+ users, providing them with enhanced AI-driven features.
