American billionaire Elon Musk has set social media ablaze with an AI-generated video showcasing world leaders and tech luminaries dressed in futuristic fashion.
A video posted by Musk on his social media platform X showed US President Joe Biden, Prime Minister Narendra Modi and former US President Donald Trump walking down a virtual runway.
“AI Fashion Show”
Musk called the video “the perfect opportunity for an AI fashion show.” In a video that was widely shared online, Modi appeared in a vibrant, multi-colored outfit decorated with geometric symbols and black sunglasses, blending modern and classic elements.
Other notable attendees included Russian President Vladimir Putin in a Louis Vuitton suit, Biden in a wheelchair and wearing sunglasses, and Musk in a futuristic Tesla- and X-themed superhero costume. North Korean leader Kim Jong Un rounded out the colorful lineup in a loose sweatshirt and large gold necklace.
Trolling gates?
Musk appeared to poke fun at Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates over the massive IT outage that rocked the world a few days ago. In the video, Gates is seen holding up a banner titled “Power Runaway.” In a blog post on Saturday, Microsoft said the global technology outage, linked to a software update by cybersecurity firm CrowdStrike, affected about 8.5 million Microsoft devices.
