    Here’s the most important bit I think:

    The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) advanced a proposal last week to force advertisers to disclose the use of AI in advertisements on television and radio. The use of mimic voices is already banned for use in robocalls.

    “Bad actors are already using AI technology in robocalls to mislead consumers and misinform the public. That’s why we want to put in place rules that empower consumers to avoid this junk and make informed decisions,” FCC Chair Jessica Rosenworcel said earlier this month.

    The FCC proposal would not apply to ads and video online and on streaming services, including the video shared by Musk.

      I considered one for a while before he revealed himself to be a racist, fascist, man-child.
      Now I’ll never own one, I’ve been looking into the Hyundai EVs and honestly they seem much more reasonably priced anyway.

      We were honestly considering one, but my wife sited the lack of charging stations if we go on extended trips during vacation, and we both think he’s an unmitigated asshole and refuse to buy anything associated with him.

      Considering the number of reports that they are garbage, I think we dodged a bullet, lol.

      We got a Honda CRV Hybrid and couldn’t be happier. Next one is going to be totally electric but not a Tesla

    Meanwhile Musk will face no actual consequences and X won’t lose any users over this.

    But rest assured he has definitely had his wrist (lightly) slapped.

      Musk also has the right to free speech. He can say what he wants, as his personal opinion.

      It’s using technology to impersonate someone that’s wrong, but I don’t know if our laws have kept up. I don’t think there’s a limit unless the person impersonated sues for slander or something. It is further muddied that public personalities have less protection and parody is legally protected

        And using a platform he bought to promote his ideas? Is having too much money free speech?

    No, my house was on fire and now I’m homeless. I’m willing to bet absolutely nothing happens to him

    Nothing short of hard financial and/or legal ramifications will stifle this kind of election interference. If it’s not stopped now, it will take root and fester.
