If you can't understand what parody is, and actually believe that this was a campaign ad, you probably have to remind yourself to breathe.

What about yourself, mainstream media, who has been campaigning for one side and criticize the others.

I saw the ad, it was very funny. Jimmy Kimmel does it all the time about Trump, but Elon's was a video. It was parody and comical.

If you couldn't tell this was a parody ad one has to wonder if you are smart enough to vote.

It’s pretty obvious Musk was sharing a satirical video. It’s disingenuous to say he was sharing a “fake campaign ad.”

[licardosimpson]

Elon bought twitter for this purpose. Not a surprise to me.

Meanwhile its ok for this network to call Trump "Hitler."

It’s a parody video. Plenty of people have made parodies of trump and Hillary.

Seeing is no longer believing. Set your BS detectors to eleven.

You’re forgetting how much Twitter, before Elon, tried to bury Trump and his campaign.

I dont think anyone thought this was real. It is funny because it is full of kernels of truth…that’s how humor works.

The video is obviously fake. And why NBC didn’t show any clips of the video? It doesn’t take 2 brain cells to figure out it’s a parody.

Let people vote and decide the truth for themselves.

It wasn’t an ad, it was some dude who makes memes

Why don't they play the video?
They need to play the video so the viewers get to see it.

This woman is not ready to be a leader of a country like the United States of America

[peterkawa]

I loved that video 😂 it just showed us the truth and every leftist is mad😂

[shiny]
