Ahead of the election in November, Democrats in the House are attempting to have the FEC issue rules to enable censorship of images created specifically by the Grok, the AI developed by Elon Musk’s X.

In other words, they want to eradicate memes they don’t like.
Democratic House Members are now pressuring the FEC to issue new rules to censor @elonmusk‘s new Grok-2 AI art generator before the election.
Let me be clear: the First Amendment is not optional. I’ll never support shutting down political speech online, including your memes. pic.twitter.com/0SnmkjijRk
In a statement, Democrats in Congress claimed “It is critical for our democracy that this be promptly addressed, noting the degree to which Grok-2 has already been used to distribute fake content regarding the 2024 presidential election.”
“This election cycle, we have seen candidates use Artificial Intelligence (AI) in campaign ads to depict themselves or another candidate engaged in an action that did not happen or saying something the depicted candidate did not say,” they further claim.
This may be a reference to a ‘Kamala Harris’ video shared by Musk.
In response, California Democrat Gavin Newsom vowed to introduce a law to limit such AI creations, prompting Musk to respond that parody is and should remain legal in America.

Newsom was upset over a parody video (below) that Musk shared on X.

The camel is trying to stick his nose in the tent.
Incrementalism is the path they always take.
