After Elon Musk shared a Kamala Harris ad parody, California Gov. Gavin Newsom threatened to sign legislation to prevent publishing ads that ‘manipulate a voice.’

The brilliant ad parody went viral on social media.

The epic video, created by YouTuber known as Mr. Reagan, was shared by Elon Musk.

“This is amazing,” Musk said.

The ad parody has eclipsed 130 million views on X.

Read the transcript:

“I, Kamal Harris, am your Democrat candidate for President because Joe Biden finally exposed his senility of debate. Thanks, Joe.

I was selected because I am the ultimate diversity hire. I’m both a woman and a person of color. So if you criticize anything I say, you’re both sexist and racist.

I may not know the first thing about running the country, but remember, that’s a good thing if you’re a deep state puppet. I had four years under the tutelage of the ultimate deep state puppet, a wonderful mentor, Joe Biden. Joe taught me rule number one, carefully hide your total incompetence.

I take insignificant things and I discuss them as if they’re significant. And I believe that exploring the significance of the insignificant is in itself significant. Talking about the significance of the passage of time, right? The significance of the passage of time. ‘So when you think about it, there is great significance to the passage of time, and there is such great significance to the passage of time.’

And Another trick is trying to sound black. I pretend to celebrate Kwanza, and in my speeches, I always do my best Barack Obama impression. ‘So hear me when I say, I know Donald Trump’s type.’

And okay, look, maybe my work addressing the root causes of the border crisis were catastrophic, but my knowledge of international politics is truly shocking. ‘The United States shares a very important relationship, which is an alliance with the Republic of North Korea. It is an alliance that is strong and enduring.’

Just remember, when voting this November, it is important to see what can be unburdened by what has been. And by what has been, I mean, Joe Biden. If you think the country went to s*** over the past four years, you ain’t seen nothing yet.”

“Thanks to Elon Musk for the tweet! Kamala Harris just posted her first 2024 presidential campaign ad. It’s clean and professional. It’s very well done. So, of course, I had to produce a parody,” Mr Reagan wrote.

Here’s a YouTube backup of the Ad PARODY:

“Manipulating a voice in an ‘ad’ like this one should be illegal. I’ll be signing a bill in a matter of weeks to make sure it is,” Newsom said.

Elon Musk responded to Newsom’s comments.

“I checked with renowned world authority, Professor Suggon Deeznutz, and he said parody is legal in America,” he said.

From The Hill:

Elon Musk is being accused of violating the policies on his own social platform, X, after he shared a fake video of Vice President Harris that uses an artificial intelligence (AI) voice mimicking Harris to spew insults about her campaign and President Biden.

The video musk shared Friday mocks a Harris campaign ad and features voiceover calling Biden “senile” and Harris the “ultimate diversity hire.”

The video does not contain any disclaimer that it uses AI to mimic Harris’s voice, though the original post from the account @MrReaganUSA labels it a parody. Musk made no such distinction in his own post, a move that appears to violate X site policy barring “misleading media.”

The Harris campaign knocked Musk over the video.

“We believe 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,” campaign spokesperson Mia Ehrenberg said in an email.

California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) also called out the post, saying such videos should be against the law.
