Over the weekend, Elon Musk posted an AI-doctored video of Vice President Kamala Harris on X-formerly-Twitter — and thus far, he hasn't apologized for it.<\/p>
In the video, which Musk posted on July 26<\/a> and has since been viewed hundreds of millions of times, the presidential candidate's voice was altered to make it sound like she was bragging about being \"the ultimate diversity hire.\"<\/p> \"I'm both a woman and a person of color,\" the fake-Harris in the altered video says, \"so if you criticize anything I say, you're both sexist and racist.\"<\/p> \"This is amazing,\" the billionaire Donald Trump booster<\/a> boasted of the video, originally posted by an account that calls itself @MrReaganUSA<\/a>.<\/p> In that initial post, the user admitted that the video was a parody. When Musk posted it as his own, he made no such acknowledgment, seemingly violating X's own rules<\/a> barring users from sharing \"synthetic, manipulated or out-of-context media that may deceive or confuse people and lead to harm.\"<\/p> At press time, the video has been up for nearly three days, and although Musk spent the weekend posting his usual drivel — including misinformation suggesting Democrats are \"importing\" undocumented people<\/a> to vote illegally and that the party controls Google<\/a> — he hasn't said a word online or in response<\/a> to press requests<\/a>, including from Futurism,<\/em> about the AI-manipulated video he shared.<\/p> Though Musk himself has stayed mum on the subject, the Harris campaign hasn't.<\/p> \"We believe the American people want the real freedom, opportunity, and security Vice President Harris is offering,\" declares a statement from the campaign to CNN<\/em><\/a>, \"not the fake, manipulated lies of Elon Musk and Donald Trump.\"<\/p> Electioneering aside, it's not at all hard to imagine that if a Democratic donor shared a doctored video of Trump without disclosure or apology, Musk and his fellow travelers<\/a> would be up in arms about it — but then again, that crowd<\/a> isn't exactly known for not being hypocrites<\/a>.<\/p> More on Musk:<\/strong> Elon Musk Accused of Withholding His Own Children From Visiting Grimes' Dying Grandmother After She Supported His Trans Daughter<\/em><\/a><\/p> The post Elon Musk Won’t Apologize After Sharing Faked AI Video of Kamala Harris<\/a> appeared first on Futurism<\/a>.<\/p> Read the original: Hack Job Over the weekend, Elon Musk posted an AI-doctored video of Vice President Kamala Harris on X-formerly-Twitter \u2014 and thus far, he hasn't apologized for it.
