Tech billionaire Elon Musk has once again made headlines with his latest social media post. On Monday, Musk, the CEO of X (formerly Twitter), SpaceX, and Tesla shared an AI-generated video featuring prominent global leaders, including Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, US Vice President Kamala Harris, US President Joe Biden, former US Presidents Donald Trump and Barack Obama, among others, dressed in futuristic fashion.
“It’s time for an AI fashion show,” Musk announced in his post on X, introducing the video that has since gone viral. The video showcases PM Modi walking the virtual runway with confidence, sporting chic sunglasses, white shoes, and a vibrant patchwork ensemble adorned with modern motifs.

The AI fashion show also depicted former US President Barack Obama in various outfits, including a gladiator-inspired ensemble and a basketball uniform. Russian President Vladimir Putin appeared in a sleek Louis Vuitton suit, while Biden was shown in a wheelchair. Musk himself made an appearance dressed as a superhero in a futuristic Tesla and X outfit.
Other notable figures featured in the video include North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, seen in a sweatshirt and a striking gold necklace, former US House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau in a dress, Apple CEO Tim Cook with an iPad, and Chinese President Xi Jinping carrying a purse.

Following US President Joe Biden’s announcement that he would not seek re-election in the upcoming November election, Khosla called for an “open convention” for the Democrats to nominate a more moderate candidate.
Khosla tweeted, “Time to have an open convention and get a more moderate candidate who can easily beat @realDonaldTrump. @GovWhitmer and @GovernorShapiro would be a great thing for America not held hostage between MAGA extremists and DEI extremism. Unique opportunity for a better moderate path. Every socially liberal, climate and fiscal voter should want it to balance our approach.”

Musk responded with, “Come on, Vinod. Trump/Vance LFG!!,” sparking further debate. Khosla replied, “Hard for me to support someone with no values, lies, cheats, rapes, demeans women, hates immigrants like me. He may cut my taxes or reduce some regulation but that is no reason to accept depravity in his personal values. Do you want a President who will set back the climate by a decade in his first year? Do you want his example for your kids as values?”

The exchange highlighted the ongoing political discourse in the US and the differing perspectives within the tech community regarding the future leadership of the country.
