The Elon Musk and Donald Trump Baki Chapter meme originated from the trend of using AI image generators to depict public figures in the hyper-muscular, grotesque art style of Keisuke Itagaki’s manga series, Baki the Grappler. By blending the high-stakes world of billionaire tech moguls and political leaders with the over-the-top physical intensity of shonen battle manga, the meme parodies the 'alpha' personas often attributed to these figures. It is frequently used to illustrate corporate takeovers, political debates, or Twitter feuds as if they were literal clashes of titans. The template gained massive traction on X and Reddit as a way to satirize the intense power dynamics and cults of personality surrounding both Musk and Trump.
