Is Elon Musk building an interdimensional portal? Eerie video sparks internet frenzy

The internet is once again spiralling into sci-fi territory and this time, it involves Elon Musk and what some are calling a real-life portal. A short clip titled “Elon’s Portal Leaked Video” has gone viral, showing a glowing, ring-like structure being assembled inside what appears to be a high-tech industrial facility. The visuals appear straight out of a Hollywood blockbuster, and naturally, the theories came flooding in.

Apparently, this is a real video.

Speculation quickly linked the structure to Musk’s companies, including Tesla and SpaceX, despite zero confirmation.
