Billionaire Elon Musk today shared an AI-generated video of himself and Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump dancing to the Bee Gees song “Stayin’ Alive.”
“Do we have a great move or what?” Mr Musk jokingly asked.
Best campaign video ever. @Elon Musk And @realDonaldTrump There are tricks! pic.twitter.com/F41ewxJy9o

The video was originally shared by Mike Lee, the US Senator from Utah.
This video has been viewed more than 6,50,7000 times and retweeted more than 3,500 times. While some users liked this video, some also pointed out the shortcomings of AI in the comment section.
“This will get you votes somehow,” one user wrote.
Another wrote, “This is the best video I have ever seen!!!”
“I literally have no clue anymore what’s real and what’s not,” a third user wrote.
The video comes days after Trump and Musk discussed the 2024 US presidential elections, his Democratic counterpart Kamala Harris, and climate change on the billionaire’s platform X. However, the much-awaited discussion was marred by technical issues.
Over 1.3 million users tuned in to the live stream, which was delayed for over 40 minutes due to a DDoS attack and technical issues.
Musk reiterated his support for Trump, who faces new Democratic nominee Vice President Kamala Harris in the November election.
The former president spoke about his past policies toward Iran and claimed that his administration’s measures effectively reduced Tehran’s ability to finance terrorism.
Donald Trump also announced plans to build the Iron Dome defense system, citing the successful implementation of this technology by Israel.
Donald Trump was banned from Twitter (now X) after his supporters attacked the US Capitol on January 6, 2021. On February 21, 2022, he launched his own social media platform, Truth Social.
Months later, in November 2022, Elon Musk acquired Twitter and restored Trump’s account @realDonaldTrump.
Last month, the Tesla CEO also supported former President Trump after a deadly attack on him.
The relationship between the two has changed over the years and they have even taken digs at each other online in the past.
