X’s lawsuit claims the law’s “requirements are so vague and unintelligible that social media platforms cannot understand what the statute permits and what it prohibits.”

Vague, overly broad laws are indeed a problem; I’m willing to give him that. ONLY that.

Unfortunately for Musk, this is not vague. If the footage is something you created or manipulated, you know perfectly damn well whether it’s legal or not. He’s trying to confuse the issue, and conflate fraud with free speech. Hopefully, the court will see right through him.

I don't agree with it, but there's a good chance they'll win on the basis of the 1st Amendment.

Elon, go crawl into a hole and stay there for the rest of your life. Ok?

They did more than influence the past election, and have plans to do the same in the upcoming ones... so ofcourse any regulation against these plans must be taken away.

Remember when this stuff was called "the quiet part', and it was considered bad when you said it out loud?

Yeah...good times.

What a fucking chode.

If you need it to be legal to deepfake to manipulate politics you’re the problem.

"Wait a minute. Are we the baddies?"

[–] [email protected] 9 points 4 days ago (1 children)

I can place a pretty hefty bet that this thought has not visited Elmos head.

I don’t think good and bad are concepts he is capable of understanding, like empathy.

And the Fake News crowd goes wild! By the way, that's conservatives and all of their media.

Here the guy that was going to leave politics and go back to Tesla.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Now now, fElon was simply placating Tesla investors on a very dark earnings call day.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 4 days ago

Somehow I think they all wish for him to stay as far from the Tesla brand as possible.
