Kamala’s Election Campaign Accuses Musk of Spreading Lies Over Retweet of “Deepfake” Parody

Bitch, you got brat memes, you got it locked.

Just chill.

Stop blaming other people for your problems like a woman.

I’m sure those brat memes are going to deliver big time.

The Guardian:

Kamala Harris’s election campaign has accused Elon Musk of spreading “manipulated lies” after the Tesla chief executive posted a doctored video featuring the vice-president on his X account.

Musk reposted a manipulated Harris campaign video on Friday evening in which a fake Harris voiceover says “I was selected because I am the ultimate diversity hire” and that anyone who criticises her is “both sexist and racist”.

The video has been viewed 128m times on Musk’s account after the world’s richest man posted it with the words “this is amazing” followed by a laughing emoji. Musk owns X, which he rebranded from Twitter last year.

Amy Klobuchar, a Democrat senator, accused Musk of violating the platform’s guidelines. According to X’s synthetic and manipulated media policy, users are barred from sharing “synthetic, manipulated, or out-of-context media that may deceive or confuse people and lead to harm” although allowances are made for satire provided it does not “cause significant confusion about the authenticity of the media”.

The video was posted originally by the @MrReaganUSA account, which is linked to the conservative YouTuber podcaster Chris Kohls, on X and is labelled a parody.

There’s free speech.

I mean there’s not. Elon won’t even let you jack off.

But in theory there is, and if people want to make fun of you, you just need more brat memes, you know?

That’s working.

It’s great.

I think these memes suck and I hate you, Kamala.

But people like it, apparently.

People put the t-shirts on and so on.

Just shut up.

Shut up.
