The billionaire owner of the social media platform X reposted a video that mimics Vice President Kamala Harris’s voice, without disclosing that it had been altered.
Elon Musk, the world’s richest man, has waded into one of the thorniest issues facing U.S. politics: deepfake videos.
On Friday night, Mr. Musk, the billionaire owner of the social media platform X, reposted an edited campaign video for Vice President Kamala Harris that appears to have been digitally manipulated to change the spot’s voice-over in a deceptive manner.
The video mimics Ms. Harris’s voice, but instead of using her words from the original ad, it has the vice president saying that President Biden is senile, that she does not “know the first thing about running the country” and that, as a woman and a person of color, she is the “ultimate diversity hire.”
…
Pro-democracy groups have raised increasingly urgent alarms about deepfakes, a broad term for digital content that employs artificial intelligence and other technology to create audio, video or images that spread false information and could influence voter behavior.
“…Seeming…”
FUCK the New York Times. They’re so afraid of sounding biased they’re incapable of just reporting the news. This is a CLEAR violation of Twitter rules.
Musk going against his stated principles? Surely not!
Shocked, SHOCKED I am that the white guy who grew up rich under South African apartheid is a racist who will use racist tactics to defame a black woman he doesn’t like.
That brings up an interesting if not ironic bit of birtherism: I get the feeling he’d be running for President himself if he was eligible.
I’ve seen enough Superman stories to recognize a Lex Luthor type when I see one. I could absolutely see him, or Bezos, running for President or Governor someday.
You insult Lex when you compare him to Elon
It’s strange that my impulse is to defend Luthor here…
So it’s all over when he executes Flash, then?
I don’t think he’s racist.
I think it’s more about how Trump would make him more money.
¿Por que no los dos?
Sounds like he will do anything to help the orange turd.
Trump promised he won’t open the Epstein files if he gets re-elected. Suddenly Musk started throwing money at him and breaking any rule to censor the opposition party and smear them.
This has little to do with the lying orange Turd. Musk cares about his own pedo past and is desperate to not have that info leak out.
Elon Musk openly flouting the rules of the platform he owns to knowingly share misinformation to disparage a woman he doesn’t like…
Tell me Elon isn’t a right wing shill without telling me he’s a right-wing shill
Watch- he’ll say it was one of his many “hilarious” jokes and his sycophants with circle the wagons and the press will be worried about their Twitter accounts and then this will be forgotten until the next time.
Rules for thee but not for me.
But he’s not even remotely subtle about being a right-wing shill. He’s loud and proud of it.
What’s that, Elon? Share deepfakes of you saying that your products are all shit and that you miss Rhodesia?
The same Elon Musk that was caught on camera licking Trump’s asshole?
