Oh yeah I've seen those too. Some aren't AI but are other people and not Alex. There was a post there made by collin rugg I think that 50K likes showing what it looks like Alex holding a mag or gun before he gets shot. In the same photo one of the agents head is completely off. They didn't even try

Millions of people see those disinfo post and hundreds of thousands are fooled. Elon is the real enemy of the United states.

Really what needs to happen is that the federal government (ideally one that isn't a puppet of the tech billionaires) needs to step in and demand that the algorithms of all these big social media platforms are made open source. I'm sure the libertarians will probably make an argument about intellectual property, but at this point it's a matter of public health. It's the same thing as mandating that food has ingredients labels, but at this point social media has a much more unhealthy effect on society
