Donald Trump Announces ‘Big Interview’ With Elon Musk.

Details to follow,” Trump wrote.
Musk and the deepfake against Harris on X
Musk, an outspoken supporter of the tycoon, recently shared a deepfake video mocking US Vice President Kamala Harris’s election campaign. The move sparked controversy not only because of the video’s manipulated content, but also because it appeared to violate the platform’s own policies against synthetic and altered media.
The video Musk shared was a doctored version of a recent Harris campaign video, which featured her saying things she never said. The original video was labeled a “parody,” but Musk’s repost, which omitted the mandatory AI-generated content flag according to X’s prolicy, was instead. Instead, Musk added his own comment: “This is awesome,” accompanied by a laughing emoji.
Trump Against Electric Cars, Musk Strengthens Support Anyway
Meanwhile, already last July and while Tesla’s profits were still falling in the second quarter, the CEO had strengthened his support for the former US president’s plan to eliminate tax credits for electric vehicles, even if this policy could damage his company.
While Trump has said he “loves” Musk, he has vowed that if elected, he will “kill” the industry by cutting regulations in favor of electric vehicles. Musk, who now plays a huge role in Grand Old Party politics, has said that removing incentives for electric vehicles would be “devastating for our competitors” and “only slightly hurt Tesla.”
Separately, after its July earnings call, Musk launched a poll on the social media site X asking people whether Tesla should invest $5 billion in its artificial intelligence startup called xAI. Musk drew criticism earlier this year after CNBC reported that he had diverted chips allocated to Tesla to the AI startup.
