Gavin Newsom and Elon Musk beef after fake Kamala Harris video

For the second time within the last month, Gov. Gavin Newsom and Elon Musk quarreled on social media over politics. This time, the brief argument centered around a fake campaign ad featuring Vice President Kamala Harris. Musk reposted the video on his platform "X". The video used artificial intelligence to mimic Harris' voice to make it sound like she's saying disparaging things about herself and President Joe Biden that she did not actually say.

Naw they aren't reporting it right. He said the renown expert Suggon Deeznuts said parody is legal in the USA. LMAO

[goobytron]

It’s a good thing that they NEVER parody Trump, take his words out of context or make fake misleading videos.

[willssecuritytips]

meanwhile Gov. Newsome is laughing at every SNL skit about Trump.

He’s trying to outlaw a parody, while at the same time telling you the other guys a dictator. 😂

[therealyopo]

News failed to quote who the renowned world Authority was???

[magnavoxfifty]

The problem that Musk has is that a Parody has to be something that a reasonable person would know is fake...Sadly with Harris, you could believe she is that stupid to say such things.

Tell Sir lord Gavin to call the professor

Ok so the reporters are gonna just ignore that everything in that ad was true?! That is the most honest Kamala ad, AND YOU KNOW

Is is also illegal to bring illegal aliens to America

[jasoncardona]

It's a joke that happens to be true.

[denisemassari]

Nuisance should worry about bills to clean up the state of California instead of whining about a parody that actually sums up what’s happening and has happened…

[Monstylicious]

Not an ad, Gavin. No one paid to promote that on X or anywhere else. If you want to pass a law prohibiting people from sharing speech, I think you're in the wrong country.
But because speech is free, you are allowed to criticize it--which you did! I'm glad you exercised your first amendment rights. Doesn't that feel amazing being able to do that without threat of government suppression? Welcome to the best country on earth ♥

When you misquote Elon's response to Newsom, you completely change the context. When a news company edits a quote and changes context, it should be illegal.

The unedited quote is, "I checked with renowned world authority, Professor Suggon Deeznutz, and he said parody is legal in America"

The quote your company reported was, "I checked with rewnowned world authority... and he said parody is legal in America"

The context of Elon's statement was that of pure sarcasm.

The context of your misquote is that Elon actually checked with a renowned world authority to make sure that parody was legal in America.

I believe professor Suggon Deeznut says "Parody" is LEGAL

[JamesonHill-dzmw]

The ad was so valid. Absolute poetry. I loved how stupid the Biden voters looked dancing to that music.

[Razorokc]

She may not have said those things but she supports them.

[cathycarter]
