What a high profile person post a video like that about Elon, on X, and see what happens.

Getting a bit tied of the “they’re just joking” argument.

If it’s supposed to be satire, it’s in very poor taste .

Also, if satire is posted to tens of millions, the odds of someone taking it seriously increase.

Let’s say he posted a video of Harris calling for violent terrorist attack and that 100 people believed her and 10 decide to act on it. Is it Musk’s responsibility that his actions caused 10 terrorist attacks? Could he have predicted it?

Are you trying to suggest it's my fault that video is stupid?

I'm saying that if you have a large audience, you need to play by the same standards we should impose for the press.

Has he done that?

The tools are out there, they should do it.

Rhetoric is often actually that extreme though in current politics. Why muddy the waters further by forcing voters to figure which of the satirical videos are actually real?

Exactly, he knows what he is doing.

Rhetoric is extreme indeed nowadays, but it's always one side saying extreme things about the other side. It's clearly fake just based on the 'extreme self deprecating' direction of it. I don't think it muddies the waters anymore than other political sketches / comics / comedy moments / SNL / whatever you want.
