Newsom Threatens Elon Musk with Legal Action For Sharing Kamala Harris AI Meme (VIDEO)

Gavin Newsom

California Governor Gavin Newsom threatened legal action against Elon Musk for sharing a funny meme on X.

Newsom this week signed into law a bill that makes it illegal to ‘knowingly distribute an ad or other election communications that contain materially deceptive content, including deepfakes.’

Who determines what is ‘materially deceptive?” Gavin Newsom?

Of course, this law will only be used to criminally charge Trump supporters for exercising their First Amendment rights.

Elon Musk trolled Gavin Newsom and encouraged X users to share a Kamala Harris parody campaign ad.

“The governor of California just made this parody video illegal in violation of the Constitution of the United States,” Elon Musk said.

“Would be a shame if it went viral,” he said.

On Thursday Gavin Newsom threatened Elon Musk.

“I think Mr. Musk missed the punchline. Parody is still alive and well in California but deepfakes and manipulation of elections that hurts democracy and integrity of the system and trust and we believe in truth and trust and we think this law is sound and will be upheld in courts,” Newsom said on Thursday to reporters.

A reporter followed up, “Sir, do you intend to seek legal action whether on Elon Musk or on any of the…”

Newsom threatened Musk: “The law asserts that many can seek injunction relief and I just signed the law, I just signed 32 other bills on housing and I haven’t had a chance to review the specific lawsuit around a conservative blogger that seems offended by our law.”

Newsom was referring to the court’s ability to stop distribution of the content and impost civil penalties.
