Watch: Elon Musk's viral video with Donald Trump titled: “Haters will say this is AI”

Tesla CEO Elon Musk has once again caught the internet's attention, this time with an AI-generated video featuring himself and the former president Donald Trump Dance to the Bee Gees classic “Stayin' Alive.”
Musk shared the video on his X (formerly known as Twitter) with the caption “Haters will say this is AI”, playfully acknowledging the artificiality of the content while poking fun at potential critics.

The video, which shows Musk and Trump performing disco dance moves with astonishing realism, demonstrates the rapid advances in AI. The uncanny valley effect is minimal, as the AI-generated characters exhibit fluid movements and facial expressions that closely resemble those of their real-life counterparts.
User reactions
The clip quickly went viral and attracted a lot of attention. Here are some of the user reactions to the video.
“This is real. I was there when it was filmed.”

“It looks like the street in front of Mar-A-Lago. Did you get it right on the first try?”

“I expect to see this on Inauguration Day”

“It's funny because no one has ever seen him do anything other than THAT weird 'dance.'”

The video also comes amid excitement surrounding Musk's AI project xAI. The company recently unveiled its improved AI models Grok-2 and Grok-2 Mini, which are now accessible to X Premium and X Premium+ subscribers. Building on the success of Grok-1.5, these new models feature significant advancements in conversational AI and coding capabilities.
