Elon Musk’s AI fashion show goes viral
AI-generated fashion show by Musk goes viral online.
Elon Musk has caused quite a stir on social media with an AI-generated video featuring global leaders and technology tycoons in avant-garde attire. The video, posted on Musk’s platform X, showcases figures like US President Joe Biden and Prime Minister Narendra Modi on a virtual catwalk. Musk, clad in a futuristic superhero costume themed around Tesla and X, declared it was ‘High time for an AI fashion show!’
The video features Modi in a multi-coloured outfit adorned with geometric symbols and black sunglasses, a striking blend of modern and classic styles. Other notable appearances include Russian President Vladimir Putin in a Louis Vuitton suit, Biden in sunglasses and a wheelchair, and Kim Jong-un in a baggy sweatshirt and gold necklace. Former US President Donald Trump also makes an appearance, adding to the eclectic assortment.
Musk took a potshot at Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates, who appears in the video holding a banner titled ‘Excessive concentration of power’, a reference to the recent major IT outage. Microsoft reported that a software update by cybersecurity firm CrowdStrike affected nearly 8.5 million devices globally.
The video also features Apple CEO Tim Cook with an iPad and former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi in a vibrant Supreme dress. The AI fashion video garnered over 33 million views in just four hours, prompting widespread reactions across the globe.
