A striking set of AI-generated images featuring some of the most powerful tech billionaires such as Elon Musk, Sam Altman, Jensen Huang, Tim Cook, Mark Zuckerberg, Sundar Pichai, and Jeff Bezos, has taken the internet by storm.

Dubbed the ‘$1 trillion squad’ by an internet user for the collective estimated net worth of these tech titans, the images quickly went viral on social media, sparking a wave of memes, and jokes.

One of the most shared images shows the billionaires standing in a dimly lit parking lot surrounded by luxury cars, including Musk’s Cybertruck, setting a cinematic “final boss” vibe.

Another post shows an AI-generated image of tech CEOs including Elon Musk, Mark Zuckerberg, Jeff Bezos, Satya Nadella, Sundar Pichai, and Tim Cook casually partying at a crowded, right-wing themed frat house event, captioned “Somewhere in a parallel universe”.

Another image humorously contrasts their trillion-dollar influence by depicting the same group in a cramped, low-budget motel room with plastic chairs and mismatched furniture, with Musk smoking a cigar

A fourth image depicts the group walking down a deserted street at night, bathed in the dim glow of sparse streetlights. Their formation and outfits channel the gritty atmosphere of a video game cutscene, giving the cinematic vibe that has made these AI-generated visuals a favorite among meme creators who view it as a ‘slick boy thing’.

The viral frenzy was partly triggered by Musk’s announcement of a new update to Grok, his AI tool. Social media users took inspiration and used AI platforms like Midjourney and Grok itself to generate these hyperrealistic portraits, blending pop culture aesthetics with tech giants.

The “$1 trillion squad” phenomenon is hit in an era dominated by AI competition, chip wars, and the meteoric rise of billionaire influence in tech. These images show how AI is reshaping culture and imagination.
