We’ll admit that ‘Deepfake Friday’ isn’t a thing yet, but every viral trend starts with a single post.

Throwback Thursday sure took off, so you never know.

A chap who goes by Ctrl Shift Face dominates the deepfake game, and his Office Space and The Matrix mashup is a classic.

The video below comes from a different account, TheFakening, and features two incredibly rich men in a rather unusual setting.

Jeff Bezos, Elon Musk, and … Star Trek?

Some details via The Verge:

A new deepfake puts Bezos and Musk in the pilot episode of the original Star Trek, “The Cage” — and I kind of love it.

In this particular AI-powered face swap, Bezos plays a Talosian alien with a huge bald head, while Musk plays Captain Christopher Pike (who is the captain of the USS Enterprise before James T. Kirk).

Here’s a very short version of what’s going on in this scene, if you’re wondering: in this episode, the Talosian aliens capture Pike to enslave him and use him to breed humans that will be used to rebuild a destroyed society. Pike tries to escape throughout the episode, and eventually, the Talosians decide that humans’ resistance to captivity won’t make them a good fit for that plan.

I am not a Trekkie, as I believe fans of the franchise are called, so that’s all gibberish to me.

Still, I can enjoy the artistry that goes into giving Bezos a massive noggin.

Roll tape:

Deepfake Friday, bro – it’s going to be huge in a few months.
