The video, which appeared to use deepfake technology to alter Harris’s voice, has amassed 98 million views. Despite X’s policies against sharing manipulated media that could deceive or harm viewers, the video was posted without any disclaimer or context.

This episode has sparked widespread concern about the integrity of the X platform and Musk’s potential influence on public perception and election outcomes through the dissemination of altered media.
