A video of former President Donald Trump that was created using artificial intelligence went viral after X founder Elon Musk touted the clip as the “best AI video to date!”
It spoofs a scene from the blockbuster film franchise “The Matrix” in which Neo realizes he’s the “One” who’s destined to free humanity from a dystopian simulated reality that imprisons humans.
In the video, Trump defeats President Joe Biden by effortlessly dodging bullets and attacks.
“He is the one,” Morpheus gasps after watching Neo-Trump casually wave off a shower of bullets.
The video ends with Biden exploding in front of Facebook co-founder Mark Zuckerberg and former President Barack Obama.

Musk was responding to a post from X user Phil Scarborough on Friday, two days before Biden announced he was ending his re-election bid.
The viral video was made by content creator Cyncratic.

The creator first shared his work on YouTube on Thursday, just five days after Trump survived an assassination attempt during a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania.
“Thank you all for the support and Thank you so much @ElonMusk,” Cyncratic wrote Saturday on X. “Words cannot express my gratitude.”
