Did vance really get caught trash talking muskrat on a hot mike or leaked recording?
I did try to search it, but came up empty.
William Martin, the vice president’s communications director said in a post on X that the audio recording is fake. He wrote that it was, “Most certainly not the Vice President,” along with a link to a post which has since been deleted.
So it’s probably real. Whether it is or not, the sentiments expressed — whininess, pettiness and a sense of aggrievement — seem perfectly consistent with everything going on in this malAdministration. And they call liberals snowflakes.
According to 404 Media, the audio is likely fake, and AI generated.
I sort of thought it was fake. I’m very progressive, anti trump/musk etc. To me, though, some of the wording just sounded like stuff I wish we’d catch vance saying. ~sigh~ A woman can dream.
Moderating
Since the factual aspect of the question has been adequately addressed, and we’re already getting political comments like these, let’s move this to P&E so that the political implications of the audio can be discussed, as forcing this topic to remain purely factual is going to end the discussion right here.
Moving from FQ to P&E.
Snopes declared it fake. https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/vance-musk-audio/
