The world’s richest person has copped massive backlash after sharing a fake image of Kamala Harris.
Elon Musk posted an image purporting to show the Democratic presidential candidate dressed in red with a hammer and sickle communist symbol, apparently generated by artificial intelligence (AI), on his social media site X.
Mr Musk’s photo mirrors Mr Trump’s attempts to characterise Ms Harris as far-left, with the Republican dubbing her “Comrade Kamala”.
Mr Musk’s photo may be in breach of X’s synthetic and manipulated media policy, which bars people from posting “synthetic, manipulated, or out-of-context media that may deceive or confuse people and lead to harm”.
The policy continues that X may “label posts containing misleading media to help people understand their authenticity and to provide additional context.” There is no label attached to the billionaire’s post.
Mr Musk himself has warned about the dangers of AI and in March last year signed an open letter along with Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak calling for an urgent pause on “giant AI experiments”.

Elon Musk is a great example of someone who thinks the rules shouldn't apply to themselves.

Before Elon Musk purchased Twitter, the platform was designed around a type of censorship. He purchased the platform, changed its name to X and set it free. Now there is no longer just one side but two sides. There is actually an uncensored war going on between the two sides.
It is an interesting way to promote two sides to every story.

On the surface it's fine, but Musk doesn't seem to be following his own rules?

Actually he is showing that there are two sides to every story. Look at how the media has been portraying Trump over the past few years.
If you care to look deeper there are hundreds of these videos protraying Trump as evil, as another Hitler.
Here is another clip from 8 months ago of a national Democratic Strategist comparing Trump to Hitler. They have created this narrative to encourage people to kill him. Who was almost assassinated? Who is using this narrative to incite death and destruction?

Who cares if the comparison is justified, how dare they compare Trump to Hitler is a weird hill to die on.
