What Elon Musk did
The AI-generated images by the hacktivist group were in response to a post Musk made on X about Republican US Presidential candidate Kamala Harris.

How Musk has been campaigning for Trump
This was the latest attempt by Musk in his ongoing effort to paint Harris and the Democratic Party as far-left in the run-up to the US presidential elections.
Musk, who has not hidden his love for the Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump, has been prolifically posting memes, videos, and posts discrediting the Democrats.

Musk's posts have also been criticized by many who called it a dangerous trend and urged him to refrain from spreading misinformation on his own social media platform.
