This cringeworthy A.I. mock-up of Trump and Musk dancing is making people regret the invention of the internet – and dancing
“A.I.” will be great.” they said. “It’s going to make medical procedures safer and take on administrative tasks to give the rest of us more leisure time.”

That felt like the longest 36 seconds in history.
The clip, created by A.I. artist @Cyncratic using a video of the very talented Aubrey Fisher and Vik White, went viral – of course – but if this is part of a Musk strategy to get Trump elected, he’s clearly chasing the much sought-after ‘People who can’t cringe’ vote.
This is how non-cultists reacted.

Against extremely stiff competition, this must be the most arse-clenchingly cringe video yet. The only thing that makes it bearable is the hilarity of imagining what it would look like if these two men actually tried to do this dance. https://t.co/sPcGQaTDXN

Creating a false sense of "coolness" for two total idiots isn't a new propaganda tactic.

Donald lacks the self-awareness to realize that using AI only reminds people that the real things are lumpy and lethargic.

MAGA, you know in your hearts that if Kamala Harris released a video of her doing this with Tim Walz, you’d be writing “CRINGE” in letters so capital your computer would overheat.
So, please, just be honest for once a throw a well-deserved “CRINGE” at this, too.

Whoever inside Trump’s close circle is telling him aligning closer with Elon was a good idea should be fired by noon today.
This is brutal. https://t.co/j0zAyX4hyX

MAGA math is believing that adding one profoundly uncool man with another profoundly uncool man equals cool. https://t.co/9xYUJBsKv7

It's so funny to be the richest person in the world and have endless resources to do whatever you please, only to spend every day online signaling to people that the only thing that matters to you (being cool and liked) is something you could never ever buy https://t.co/5GJSKIDRuA

It could signal a future revenue stream for Trump.
if he doesn’t win the election and if he’s not in jail he could try Dancing With The Stars maybe

If you’re interested, this is what it looked like before it became a MAGA cringefest.
