The video is obviously #manipulated & easily debunked by viewing the unaltered footage, which shows #Harris speaking smoothly, w/o repeating the same words & phrases as portrayed in the doctored video.

The video, whose origin is unclear, was posted by #Trump himself on Truth Social on Sat, accompanied by a rant in which he calls Harris “DUMB!” & “extremely Low IQ.”

The video was soon re-shared on X by an acct that posts content verbatim from #Trump’s feed on Truth Social. That acct on X has >800k followers, &, as of late Sun, the post containing the #Harris #deepfake had >620k views.

The video appears to be in violation of X’s terms of service, which prohibit the sharing of “synthetic, manipulated, or out-of-context media that may deceive or confuse people & lead to harm.”

…This #deepfake comes after one shared by #Musk himself 8 days earlier, which doctored a high-profile #Harris political ad “Freedom.” In that one, the fake audio using Harris’s voice depicted her calling herself “the ultimate diversity hire” & degrading POTUS Biden. “This is amazing,” Musk wrote in his post sharing the video, w/a laughing emoji. Musk’s post, still online, has received >134M views.
