Elon Musk Criticized for Sharing Manipulated Kamala Harris Video with 104 Million Views
Jul 29, 2024, 04:18 AM
Elon Musk, the owner of X (formerly known as Twitter), has come under fire for sharing a manipulated video of Vice President Kamala Harris. The video, which has garnered over 104 million views, uses deepfake technology to mimic Harris's voice and was posted without any disclaimer or context. This action appears to violate X's own policies against sharing synthetic and manipulated media. The Harris campaign has condemned the video, stating that it spreads fake, manipulated lies and undermines the real freedom, opportunity, and security that Harris offers. The incident has sparked widespread debate about the ethical implications of AI in politics and the potential for such technology to mislead the public, especially with Election Day approaching in three months. The post has also garnered 238,000 reposts and 924,000 likes. Musk defended his actions with a 'Suggon Deeznutz' joke.
