Elon Musk is depicted as an armed robber using his own Grok AI system in a deepfake video.

The technology has also been used to create fake videos of some of the world's most high profile individuals, including Donald Trump, Kamala Harris and Vladimir Putin, committing crimes.

A faked clip shows Musk is seen robbing a store at gunpoint then burning it using a fire gun, before he is arrested and handcuffed by police.

Later in the same video Mr Trump wearing an orange jumper and carrying two black guns is shown entering a shop while threatening staff at gunpoint, while Kamala Harris is shown in a similar veing before screaming as she's detained by uniformed officers.

Vladimir Puitn, Barack Obama and even the Pope are all given a similar treatment in the video posted on X.

Other figures given the deepfake treatment in the clip include Mark Zuckerberg and Joe Biden. 

Biden is depicted threatening staff but from a wheelchair, in a nod to the questions over his age and agility which plagued his re-election campaign before he dropped out of the nomination last month.

A notably younger version of the Russian president Putin is shown handling a golden and aiming it at shop staff before being arrested.

Facebook co-founder Mr Zuckeberg is given a baseball bat as a weapon and is depicted with a reptile sitting on his shoulder as he strides through the store. 

All three figures are shown being escorted away by a large group of officers. 

The deepfaked videos were created by AI studio The Dor Brothers, Indy100 reported.

Sharing the clips on Mr Musk's platform, X, the studio wrote: 'Somebody said uncensored! Thank you @grok for letting us all have some fun.'

Many users took to the social media site to comment on how realistic the fake video is with some suggesting that the technology could see people 'manipulated' by fake videos.

One commented: 'So this is the terrifying part. No matter what side you're on, even if there were real video evidence of people committing crimes, it can be dismissed as AI.

'This tech is getting better and better all the time. Lots of people will be easily fooled or manipulated.' 

The deepfake clip also featured former president Barack Obama holding a large knife in  a supermarket

It comes amid alarm over the tide of disinformation in the run-up to November's US presidential election, amid concerns that deepfaked videos could drive people toward or away from candidates.

Mr Musk himself faced criticism last week for sharing a fake clip of Ms Harris, in which a voiceover mimicks the vice-president calling Mr Biden 'senile'.

He later clarified it was a parody, with the video originally showing no indication that it was for satire.

Another doctored clip was shared last month appearing to show Biden cursing his critics - including using anti-LGBTQ slurs - after he announced he would not seek reelection and endorsed Harris for the Democratic nomination.
