KJeff Bezos and Elon Musk rivalry is moving ahead at warp speed thanks to a new Star Trek deepfake.
The video, created by TheFakening, casts Bezos as a member of the alien Talosians, while Musk becomes Enterprise captain Christopher Pike. (The clip comes from the original Star Trekpilot, titled "The Cage," which never aired. Parts of it were repurposed for a later episode of the show titled "The Menagerie.")
In the episode, the Talosians (who use those big brains to project illusions) capture Pike and try to trick him into falling in love with a woman so that he can help breed a new race that will help the Talosians rebuild their destroyed civilization. Given that context, it's pretty clear where TheFakening's preferences lie between Bezos and Musk.

As The Vergenotes, the clip has been further edited from its original format, removing dialog from other characters. Without better understanding of the full episode, it's probably confusing to most viewers. But the quality of the deepfake won't be lost on anyone.

There's a strong chance TheFakening's video is an homage of sorts to the South Park episode but, either way, Bezos as a Talosian can not be unseen.
