Connecting with younger audiences on TikTok
If @elonmusk and X let this go and don’t label it as altered AI content, they will not only be violating X’s own rules, they’ll be unleashing an entire election season of fake AI voice and image-altered content with no limits, regardless of party. https://t.co/BJDU6VZr8w

Sage said Harris has been successful with her TikTok presence.
“Mr. Musk’s post, which has since been viewed 98 million times, would seem to run afoul of X’s policies, which prohibit sharing ‘synthetic, manipulated or out-of-context media that may deceive or confuse people and lead to harm.’” https://t.co/tTiMJ2eRDy
