Elon Musk has branded an AI-generated video of Kamala Harris in which a fake Harris says she was “selected because I am the ultimate diversity hire” as “amazing.”
The X boss tweeted the video over the weekend with the remark “This is amazing” followed by a cry-laughing emoji.
The AI-generated video, which can be watched in full below, shows the fake POTUS candidate saying, “I, Kamala Harris, am your Democratic candidate because Joe Biden finally exposed his senility in the debate,” overlaid to images of Harris and Democrat supporters.
She then calls herself the “ultimate diversity hire” because “I’m both a woman and a person of color, so if you criticize anything I say you’re both sexist and racist.” The fake Harris goes on to brand herself a “deep fake puppet” who learned from another “puppet,” Joe Biden.
Musk’s seeming endorsement of the video comes with ramped up concerns over the spread of fake, AI-generated videos during the heated election campaign.
Musk has been donating to the Trump campaign, although he has in recent days denied a Wall Street Journal report that said he plans to give $45M a month to Trump. Musk endorsed Trump on July 13, in the aftermath of the assassination attempt on his life.
Harris is the presumptive Democrat nominee after Biden dropped out the race last weekend.
