“White Dudes for Harris” Raise $4M, Vow More Support After X Suspends Their Account

“If they think this is going to make us more quiet, they are wrong. We are not going to, we are not going to stop. We’re not going to stop organizing. There’s going to be more to come tomorrow.”

That was one of the organizers of “White Dudes for Harris,” a group that put together a call fundraising and organizing support for Vice President Kamala Harris to be the next president. He’s upset because after raising nearly $4 million and having over 190,000 attendees on their call, they found out their accounts on X, formerly Twitter, were suspended by Elon Musk.

“I have seen some of the most racist, sexist, homophobic, anti-Semitic comments just all over Twitter, and Elon Musk has done nothing. So we get suspended?”

A manipulated video that mimics the voice of Vice President Kamala Harris to impersonate her is raising concerns about the power of artificial intelligence to mislead just three months away from November’s elections. The video gained attention after Musk shared it on his social media platform X on Friday, July 26, without noting it was originally released as parody. (AP Photo/Czarek Sokolowski, File)

But if they think that’s going to shut them down, he had this to say: “And if they think this is going to make us more quiet, they are wrong.”

The organization has another call planned for tonight and more in the future.
