Harris should share a video that mimics Elon's voice talking about how he loves and supports his trans daughter and accepts her unconditionally as a woman.
Edit: Several people seem to have taken this seriously. For clarity, it was a joke. It would be really unfair and inappropriate to weaponize her in this way without her consent. I regret the ambiguity.
Honestly, I would like the world to keep Vivian out of this. (I wanted to say 'his daughter'. But Vivian is right. He's just too obnoxious to be related to.) Elon has done enough damage to her by throwing her to his band of online trolls, because she chose her own life instead of following his wishes.
Oh for sure. Actually doing this is really unfair to her, and shouldn't happen.
I also appreciate your reasoning for calling her Vivian. Well said.
That only hurts his pride.
It needs to be an audio of a plausible sounding board meeting where he talks about the unreliability of Tesla and Space-x, and how they may need to raise a couple of million to get out of it.
The only way these fuckers learn is if you mess with their wallet.
A couple of million? You're talking about pocket change for them. You should look at the grants and subsidies he avails from the government to keep them afloat. That should also give you an idea about a major source of his funds - your taxes.
Not sure if I'd want to pull his daughter into this mess but in general answering with an equally faked video would be a genius marketing stunt. Maybe a video where Elon writes 'I must not share manipulated videos' to a chalk board like Bart in the Simpsons.
Most of his fanboys probably can't recognize his voice.
I don't know why everyone's surprised. What were you expecting from Elon? Ethics and morality?
I wonder how nobody was concerned about this possibility up until now...
I mean it was pretty damn funny and it was pretty clearly labeled as PARODY...
I don't see how any reasonable thinking human could think it was real.
The original user who posted the video [...] has disclosed [...] that the manipulated video is a parody. But Musk’s post, which has been viewed more than 123 million times, according to the platform, only includes the caption “This is amazing” with a laughing emoji. [...] I don’t think that’s obviously a joke,” [co-president of the advocacy group Public Citizen Rob] Weissman said [...]. “I’m certain that most people looking at it don’t assume it’s a joke. The quality isn’t great, but it’s good enough. And precisely because it feeds into preexisting themes that have circulated around her, most people will believe it to be real.”
