    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.

    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 don’t think rules can help since the courts will just rule they can’t do that.

        Doesn’t the overturning of Chevron do exactly that, making it impossible for the FCC to create rules without explicit laws passed by Congress?

          Not necessarily. It depends on the exact wording of laws already on the books. Chevron doesn’t immediately gut all federal organizations of power. Just some of them, some of the time, and the details matter and will be determined in court one at a time.

      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

      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.

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

    Of course there’s no spam on Twitter. Elon promised us he’d fix that.

    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.
