Elon Musk posts AI slop video about him ‘buying the UK’

What a deeply weird man.

Elon Musk seems determined to keep his title as the world’s unfunniest man after he posted a bizarre AI video of him as Austin Powers.

Over the last couple of years, Musk has on several occasions decided to insert himself into events going on in the UK.

Whether it’s inciting violence at Tommy Robinson rallies, spreading blatant lies about Britain and London, or whipping up division in the wake of tragic events, Musk has proven himself to be a truly malevolent threat to our country.

Now, he’s sharing AI slop videos labelling himself the ‘man who bought the UK.’

Earlier this week, Musk responded to a post from Conservative Christian satire account the Babylon Bee which shared an article saying that the Tesla CEO ‘buys the United Kingdom to establish free speech there.’

Musk asked: “How much?”

How much is it?

Well, it seems Musk quite likes the nonsense idea of buying the UK and has decided this is the latest unfunny joke he’s going to run with.

In a weird and creepy post on X, Musk shared a video from another account depicting himself as the titular spy in the iconic intro from Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery.

But, would you believe it, it turns out if you replace Mike Myers with Musk and decide to recreate the scene using AI it loses all its humour and wackiness and become a quite unsettling watch.

Whilst Musk’s fan boys predictably laughed it up and praised the former trillionaire for ‘owning the libs,’ anyone with any sense could see this for the embarrassing display it was.

Embarrassing for him to repost this. He really has no introspection whatsoever https://t.co/5L8lKuI6ki
