Musk Retweets Altered Kamala Harris Campaign Ad

In the video, Harris seemingly exposes herself as incompetent

Elon Musk, the owner of X, formerly known as Twitter, retweeted a parody Kamala Harris campaign ad Friday without labeling it as misleading, an apparent violation of his own platform's rules.

Segments of video in the altered content — such as Harris, the presumed Democratic nominee for president, speaking to crowds and general videos of her supporters — were used in a recent Harris campaign video on YouTube. Most notably, the altered content uses a voiceover that sounds like the vice president, making it seem she is calling President Joe Biden senile and herself an incompetent presidential candidate.

Harris narrates in the original video, telling viewers, "In this election, we each face a question: What kind of country do we want to live in?" before she breaks into Beyoncé's song "Freedom."
