As we’ve reported, California Governor Gavin Newsom recently signed a strict new law making it illegal to create or publish videos created using AI during election season. If that sounds like a First Amendment violation to you, you’re not alone. X owner Elon Musk quickly struck back.
A masterclass in trolling:
Golden State Rep. Kevin Kiley (R) wasn’t amused either:
It’s no coincidence that parody is being banned by a governor who is a walking parody of himself. https://t.co/1eNTVN9toM

The video that so triggered the elegantly coiffed governor was a parody made by a content creator called “Mr Reagan,” which was a savagely funny pretend Kamala Harris campaign ad. If you haven’t seen it, it’s worth taking a look.
LOL
