Why do we have to say “accused” when he did it in public?
Because he's a fragile, litigious, snowflake of a billionaire that cannot even contemplate that anything he does is wrong, let alone illegal.
You and I don't have to say it but journalist standards are different. https://wikipedia.org/wiki/Journalism_ethics_and_standards
Thanks for that
Reporters are expected to be as accurate as possible given the time allotted to story preparation and the space available and to seek reliable sources. Properly using their sources and using accurate quoting and use of words from interview or conversation.[19]
If you saw where he published it on the website that he owns, the most accurate description would be to say he did it. The average person would understand the true level of uncertainty that way. Whereas if you use uncertainty in your description you are, in fact, misinforming the reader.
Reporting the truth is almost never libel,[23] which makes accuracy very important.
Just saying
The Democratic governor of California, Gavin Newsom, posted on X on Sunday evening that the manipulated Harris video should be “illegal” and that he would soon sign a bill banning such media, in apparent reference to a proposal supported by California lawmakers to ban “materially deceptive” election deepfakes.
I don't know why they're still on Twitter
If everyone except the right-wing trolls leave, then the whole platform dies quickly.
I don't know why they're still on Twitter
Presumably lack of viable mainstream alternative. Looking at Musk management there won't be a Twitter in a few years though.
Well an alternative won't appear as long as people are still sheltering in the corpse of Twitter. I think Mastadon and Blue Sky together will end up holding that torch.

I am not disagreeing with you - I am not using twitter for ages, even before Musk due to their stance on the genocide of Palestinians. I can however see why the politicians do.
So why can't we call this what it is.
An attempt at election interference and throw his ass in prison for treason. For such a high profile person it should be considered no less.
“I was selected because I am the ultimate diversity hire,”
In truth it's lame ass white dudes who are the kids of rich men who benefit from the system and are handed positions way above their level. Black women have to work their asses off to even get their foot in the door. This "diversity hire" narrative is massive projection. Musk was born on third base and got walked in for the score.
No shit...he called a guy trying to save folks in a cave a pedo because his ego was offended.
I feel like being witnessed posting from his own personal account with no remorse or claim of account hijacking warrants a bit more of a strongly worded statement than merely "accused".
The video is possibly illegal in several states https://www.citizen.org/article/tracker-legislation-on-deepfakes-in-elections/
Edit maybe there should be more election deepfakes so that we’ll finally have legislation outlawing this behavior
According to X’s synthetic and manipulated media policy
I honestly thought that they were describing the POLICY as synthetic and manipulated.
You know, because interpretation and enforcement is entirely dependent on whether you agree with Apartheid Emerald Boy on everything..
Elon? Lying? For his own benefit? No way
Twitter is donald’s « Truth » v2
At least truth social is(forced to be) open source

In his defense, Elon both owns the platform and is a giant manbaby throwing a neverending tantrum at even the thought of rules applying to him.
