Elon Musk has revived an old joke about buying Britain by sharing a bizarre AI-generated video portraying himself as the owner of the United Kingdom. The roughly one-minute clip, which surfaced on X and was also shared widely on social media, presents Musk as a cartoonish Austin Powers-style character dancing with Optimus robots, racing through London and declaring, 'It's mine now.'
The video is titled 'Elon Musk: Man Who Bought the UK' and includes a newspaper bearing the same headline. It also shows a Tesla carrying a Union Jack as Musk appears to celebrate his fictional takeover of Britain. The footage is clearly presented as AI-generated satire rather than evidence that Musk has actually purchased the country.
