Watch: Musk shares AI-made fashion show video, and it's hilarious
What's the story
Elon Musk has caught the public's attention by sharing an AI-generated fashion show video on X.
The video humorously features many tech figures and world leaders in different costumes and avatars.
The highlight of the clip was the depiction of Bill Gates holding a sign that initially read "Runway of Power," but was later altered to "Blue Screen of Death."
This change is a direct reference to Microsoft's global outage that took place on July 19.
