Elon Musk has once again captured the internet’s attention, this time by sharing an AI-generated video that features him and Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump grooving to the Bee Gees' classic hit "Stayin' Alive." The video, which was originally shared by Utah Senator Mike Lee, has quickly gone viral, racking up over 6.5 million views and thousands of retweets.
In typical Musk fashion, he shared the video with a playful caption: "Do we have great moves or what?" The clip has sparked a wave of reactions, ranging from laughter and admiration to skepticism about the implications of AI technology. While some viewers hailed it as the “best video I’ve seen made to date,” others expressed unease. One user jokingly commented, “Somehow this will win votes lol,” while another admitted, “I literally have no clue what’s real and what isn’t anymore.”
This humorous video comes just days after Musk and Trump engaged in a more serious discussion about the upcoming 2024 U.S. presidential election. Hosted on Musk’s social media platform, X, the conversation touched on pressing issues like climate change and Trump’s Democratic rival, Vice President Kamala Harris. Despite technical hiccups, including a 40-minute delay caused by a DDOS attack, the livestream drew in over 1.3 million viewers
During the discussion, Musk reaffirmed his support for Trump, who is gearing up to face a resurgent Harris in the November election. Trump, in turn, outlined his vision for a new Iron Dome defense system in the U.S., inspired by Israel’s success with the technology. He also revisited his administration’s policies on Iran, claiming that they effectively curtailed Tehran’s ability to fund terrorism.
The relationship between Trump and Musk has been anything but predictable. The two have clashed publicly in the past, trading jabs online. Trump was famously banned from Twitter (now X) after the January 6, 2021, Capitol riot, leading him to launch his own social media platform, Truth Social, in early 2022. However, after Musk acquired Twitter in November 2022, he restored Trump’s account and has since publicly backed him, especially after Trump survived an assassination attempt last month.
As the 2024 election looms, the unlikely partnership between Musk and Trump continues to make headlines. Their latest AI-generated video, blending humor with political commentary, is yet another example of how these two figures are shaping the narrative—both online and off.
