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.
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.
I don’t think he’s racist.
I think it’s more about how Trump would make him more money.
Seriously?
Musk going against his stated principles? Surely not!
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.
What’s that, Elon? Share deepfakes of you saying that your products are all shit and that you miss Rhodesia?
Did I miss his connection to Zimbabwe (formerly Rhodesia)?
I thought he was from South Africa, which does indeed share a border with Zimbabwe.
We’re talking about deepfakes here. Does it matter?
Well… When complaining about a lack of facts I prefer not to counter with a lack of facts
It has become abundantly clear that the only way to make any of these people care at all about the bullshit firehose is to turn it upon them.
I don’t like it either.
Policy says “Blah Blah Blah”*
- Elon Musk is excused from all other policy.
The same Elon Musk that was caught on camera licking Trump’s asshole?
Like laws even apply to rich people in America, let alone rules from a company you own.
Why is there no video in the article? Not even a link to it. Why is the whole internet talking about this video but nobody seems have it?
