Elon Musk’s “bangag” (high on drugs) moment at Trump’s inauguration—eyes glazed, expression straight out of a sci-fi fever dream—became an internet classic. No AI, no Photoshop, just raw, unscripted Elon basking in the absurdity of it all.
Millions watched, laughed, and turned him into memes faster than Tesla’s stock dips after a weird tweet. But enter the Philippine political scene: a fabricated Bongbong Marcos “polvoron” video, courtesy of his critics who were clearly out of snacks and ideas. The video tried hard to be the next internet sensation but ended up as stale as week-old polvoron. Unlike Musk’s authentic eccentricity, this clip screamed “fake news,” with AI so overworked it probably demanded hazard pay.
Musk didn’t need editing to go viral; his aura alone did the job. Meanwhile, the Marcos video now rests in digital purgatory, proof that not all attempts at fakery are created equal. Some should’ve just stayed drafts.
