However, netizens were confused about whether the video was AI-generated or real. Though he captioned the post, “Happy Birthday, America,” he did not clarify if the clip was fake or not.

The video also received plenty of positive comments, as many agreed he was “too cool” and that the “boss knows how to celebrate.”
