    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.

    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.

      I think a nickname like diversity hire Kamala would be the best they could do. However it’s not a great nickname cause all she has to do is talk a little, sound competent and the name kind of falls apart.

      Still better than laughing Kamala, that just sounds like a children’s toy.

    But of course. That is why he bought the company – to become un-bannable.

    everyday I’m thankful that Musk is not an US born citizen and cannot run for office. It’s the only thing stopping him

    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.

      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.

          Make no mistake, Musk is an oligarch wannabe. He is just like all of them — greedy, self-serving, self-righteous cunts. The world will be far better off when they no longer exist.

            I agree completely. I just wonder why anyone argues that he’s not obviously trying to actively destroy Twitter.

              Yeah I’m pretty sure that was shown to be the case (people who knew him reporting that he lamented twitter’s “wokeness”, wanted to do something about it, and how he railed against his own trans child).

              He is, in every sense of the word, a douchebag.

              So anyone who argues the opposite is either in on the agenda or sucking his probably-tiny genitalia — or both.
