JD Vance threatened action against viral audio impersonating his voice.
Vice President JD Vance reacted to the viral audio clip in which he purportedly slammed Elon Musk for his interference in the government, and for making him and President Donald Trump look bad. While AI tools busted the viral audio as fake, JD Vance clarified for once and for all that it was a fake AI-generated clip.
“I’m not surprised this guy doesn’t have the intelligence to recognize this fact, but I wonder if he has the integrity to delete it now that he knows it’s false. If not, it could be defamation. I guess we’ll find out!” Vance posted.
JD Vance’s statement came in reply to a post of Bishop Talbert Swan who shared the video without mentioning anywhere that it was a fake video. “The infighting is in full swing. Happy Monday!” Talbert Swan posted.
Before JD Vance reacted, his communications director William Martin dismissed the audio and confirmed that it was most certainly not the vice president. Several social media users deleted the link after it was out in the open that the voice was not JD Vance’s though it sounded a lot like his.
“Everything that he’s doing is getting criticized in the media and he says that he’s helping and he’s not, he’s making us look bad,” the voice impersonating Vance said adding that Elon Musk is not even an American as he was born in South Africa but is now cos-playing as the great American leader.
Elon Musk and JD Vance’s relationship has remained volatile with some accounts claiming that initially, Elon Musk did not like JD Vance. Vance in an interview with NBC News recently said Elon Musk made mistakes during mass firings of federal employees. But they back each other on social media and recently Elon Musk called JD Vance the best VP and the ‘future president’.
