The former president mocked the Florida governor’s error-filled 2024 announcement by sharing AI-generated Twitter Space.
Donald Trump mocked Ron DeSantis‘ online 2024 campaign announcement, which was plagued by technical difficulties, by sharing a video on social media featuring the Florida governor taking part in AI-created Twitter Space with Adolf Hitler, the Devil and George Soros.
DeSantis, who has long been considered the biggest challenger to Trump in the 2024 GOP primary, officially confirmed he’s running for president in what many described as a „disastrous“ audio conversation on Twitter with the social media platform’s owner, Elon Musk.
The online announcement was beset with technical difficulties as the site’s servers struggled to deal with the surge of traffic. The audio frequently cut out for long periods, conversations were echoed and there was major feedback on the glitchy stream, making it almost impossible at times to hear what was supposed to be a historic announcement from DeSantis.
The stream eventually cut out entirely after around 20 minutes, before it launched a few minutes later, albeit still with some glitches, and DeSantis was eventually able to confirm his 2024 campaign.
Trump was quick to repeatedly mock DeSantis on social media for the announcement, including sharing a video of a fake Twitter Space showing the Florida governor attempting to launch his campaign alongside mocked-up versions of infamous figures and right-wing bogeymen.
