It’s easy to be cynical specifically in this case, when Elon has in the past very gleefully amplified AI fakes to drum up social sentiment

I don't get it. Is the implication that Elon/Tesla/X specifically promoted/amplified the post?
I infer that the implication is "that's rich coming from Elon/Tesla" because Elon is not honest and amplifies misinformation often?

(not singling Elon out, he's one of many)

The implication is that Elon is a massive hypocrite for complaining when these dishonest tactics are used against him because he uses them all the time.
During election, Musk promoted a lot of deep fakes about Kamala Harris, including fake images generated using Grok. He's a total asshole.

Here's the video - it was very obviously a parody.
