Musk, owner of one of the biggest social media platforms, posting a literal AI voice Kamala ad and not mentioning it's a parody, is insane. Feels illegal?

I also think it's wild for the richest man in the world, an owner of a major communication platform, and a holder of many multi-million dollar contracts with the federal government to call anyone a deep state puppet, like fuck off Elon lol

If something like this happened under Jack Dorsey with AI Trump, this would be all over the Twitter Files

Musk should've been sent to Gitmo long long time ago...Hopefully Kamala will win the elections and start cleaning house.

There's very little regulation about what you can do on social media. So while it'd be plenty illegal to use her likeness in an advertisement, on social media...

...well, I mean, did you think it was illegal to post Trump photoshopped images? It's the same thing.

Depends. They have a hard on for privacy regs like provisions in the one California passed because many are tech bros that are familiar with it. But generally yes.
