WILMINGTON, DE—A routine family Zoom turned Joe Biden into TikTok’s hottest accidental influencer. His granddaughter Naomi posted a 47-second clip of the 82-year-old wrestling with the mute button, racking up 50 million views. Biden’s shoulder shrugs, hand waves, and screen-grabbing lunge were hailed by a digital culture expert as “an inadvertent masterpiece of post-modern performance art.” Gen Z decided it was a profound take on digital loneliness. The internet called it choreography. “Grandpa Joe is literally serving us existential realness,” said 19-year-old @ZoomerZoe, whose recreation launched “The Biden Shuffle.” Celebrities piled on. Charli D’Amelio nailed the shoulder pop. Drake posted, “When the Zoom meeting starts but you’re still on mute 😤 #BidenShuffleChallenge.” Meanwhile, Biden looked baffled. “Jill showed me the numbers, and I thought it was my cholesterol,” he said. “Followers sound like a security issue.” His hastily made account hit 12 million. Brands swarmed. “He’s the holy grail: genuine confusion,” said a marketer, citing Jitterbug and magnifier deals. Spinoffs include “The Pelosi Point” and “The McConnell Freeze.” Biden still thinks TikTok sells clocks.
