In a statement, the Harris campaign said, “The American people want the real freedom, opportunity and security Vice President Harris is offering; not the fake, manipulated lies of Elon Musk and Donald Trump.”
Perfect.

I love this "Emasculate the fragile strong men snowflakes." It's pretty effective.

That's why he doesn't want to debate. All she has to do is say that he doesn't have the mental fortitude to live in reality.

The video mimics Ms. Harris’s voice, but instead of using her words from the original ad, it has the vice president saying that President Biden is senile, that she does not “know the first thing about running the country” and that, as a woman and a person of color, she is the “ultimate diversity hire.”
Here you go.
God that's bad. This is what I'd expected Russian trolls to do on Lemmy before getting down voted into oblivion, but I wouldn't expect a CEO to do this. This is fucked up.
You can't train a Russian bot to sound as stupid as Musk - the tech just isn't there yet.

in Seeming Violation of X's Policies
But of course. That is why he bought the company -- to become un-bannable.
“Nobody can hurt my feelings ever again!”
Does that mean Musk is a snowflake?
He's always been one.

I just can't believe anyone still uses Twitter for any purpose.
At this point remaining active on the platform is more or less unethical.
A lot of sites have weight. Twitter sheds users every day but the large user count makes it attractive to public figures and if you want to follow that public figure you need to have twitter.
My point is, it's becoming unethical for public figures and their followers to remain on the platform.
That's why the more prominent the public figure is, the bigger ethical obligation they have to switch to Mastodon and force their followers to follow.

everyday I'm thankful that Musk is not an US born citizen and cannot run for office. It's the only thing stopping him
It keeps you out of the Pres and VP office, but there are plenty of other offices.
There's almost a 0% chance musk gets even remotely close to any cali government position with just public voting
Literally a laughingstock

Next thing you know, Musky will order staff to create entirely false tweets on official accounts and lock the accounts so the false tweets can't be deleted. He will burn that entire company to the ground to get TFG back in.
At this point I'm convinced that Musk fully intends on world domination. The man is psychotic, he subscribes to the idea that we all live in a simulation and further that he's the only real player.
Him and Thiel are literally the people that all of the conservative NWO conspiracies worried about and somehow the conservatives are lining up to suck their dicks.

The Former Guy. He was in Home Alone, starred in some reality show and sold steaks for a while.

i love how irrelevant elon made twitter. like the big companies may not be on alternative networks but you also dont see hashtags and advertisements to discuss something on twitter anymore like you used to in the 10s
Unfortunately that was his task. Twitter was a pivotal tool in the Arab spring, second largest investor in Twitter after musk were the Saudis. Musk is such a try hard wannabe goon that when the "real" money told him they'd think he was cool if he bought and fucked up Twitter (and they would totally let him ride dirtbikes with them when he was done!) he jumped at the chance.
I honestly believe that he was backed into a corner and this was his out. His mouth wrote checks he literally couldn't cash, and when he was forced to fork over the money, the spiteful little shit was like "Ok, well these oligarchs would like to see Twitter festroyed anyway, so let's do that."
Yes and no, he didn't want it as much as he wanted the attention. When he was trapped, they told him they'd be buddies and directly/indirectly support his other projects if he played ball. Plus, they all probably have the true depth on his Epstein stuff and they all wave kompromat over each other's heads and threaten with a smile.

I thought X got rid of all of the sane policies that twitter had?
I mean isn't X officially a white supremacist platform now anyways?
And EVERY single news organization in the US uses it both as their primary platform AND source for news.
Even fucking NPR. What the actual fuck is that about ?
90% of screenshots on Lemmy are from Twitter ffs. It boggles my mind, and I am not easily boggled.

Is anyone the least bit shocked at the "rules for thee" behavior from these subhuman pieces of shit? Why are we allowing them to be in charge of anything again?
Because people won't leave Xitter. Mastodon was propped up expressly as a replacement, but the bird yet lives.

I hope Harris wins and I really hope she is a petty and vindictive person that goes out of her way to make Imon Ketamusk's life a pain in the ass.
You don’t even need to be petty and vindictive to correct the situation where a single unelected person has that much power.
That name should be some sort of verb or something, “lets not Musk this up” or “are you really that Musk?” I dunno something like that

I hate it when these articles never include the video. How am I supposed to learn about manipulation if I'm "being protected against it"?
You can find it without them boosting it for free. But you don't have to watch it to understand the story
I am so shocked!
(Not)
If my younger self from like 3 years ago heard generating videos can be a prompt away and can make gigantic amounts of misinformation, he would shit himself and probably write a manifesto, but fuck me this is still insane today!

Elon seems to be a deep shit blackhole. The more shit is there the more shit is attracted.
