“I checked with renowned world authority, Professor Suggon Deeznutz, and he said parody is legal in America,” X owner tells California governor.
Elon Musk issued an epic response to Gov. Gavin Newsom (D-Calif.) after he threatened to outlaw parody campaign ads in violation of the First Amendment.
Musk on Friday shared a hilarious campaign ad parody that’s since gone mega viral featuring an AI rendering of Harris’ voice candidly explaining that she became the Democrat Party’s “ultimate diversity hire” after Joe Biden “exposed his senility.”
This is amazing ?

The parody ad, which has racked up over 130 million views, deeply triggered Newsom, who took aim at Musk and declared in an X post, “Manipulating a voice in an ‘ad’ like this one should be illegal.”
“I’ll be signing a bill in a matter of weeks to make sure it is,” the California governor added.
Musk responded cheekily, “I checked with renowned world authority, Professor Suggon Deeznutz, and he said parody is legal in America.”

Despite Newsom’s desire to censor anything he doesn’t agree with, parodies provide an important historic reference and social commentary and are therefore afforded certain protections under the First Amendment.
The U.S. Supreme Court unanimously agreed in Hustler v. Falwell, that a parody, *which no reasonable person expected to be true*, was protected free speech.
Gavin is (TO OUR SHOCK ?) not a reasonable person.

This is just the latest desperate attempt by the Democrats to whitewash Harris’ abysmal record now that she’s become the de facto Democrat Party nominee.
In recent weeks, Democrats and the media have been gaslighting the public about her role in collapsing the southern border, donating to radical bail reform groups, and being labeled as the most radical far-left senator in the Senate by independent political ranking group GovTrack.
