OPINION| In a move that has left the internet in stitches, Elon Musk, the tech mogul and Twitter owner, recently retweeted an “achievement” ad for Vice President Kamala Harris. The ad, which quickly racked up over 55 million views, showcases Harris’s “accomplishments” in a hilarious and satirical manner.
The ad, created by conservative commentator Mr. Reagan, highlights some of Harris’s most memorable moments, such as her infamous “we did it, Joe” speech and her infamous “I’m speaking” moment during a debate. The ad also pokes fun at her tendency to laugh awkwardly and her lack of a clear policy agenda.
Musk’s retweet of the ad has sparked a wave of laughter and mockery online, with many users sharing their own jokes and memes about Harris. The ad has become a viral sensation, with people from all political persuasions sharing it and commenting on its hilarious take on the Vice President.
Here is the transcript:
I was selected because I am the ultimate diversity hire. I’m both a woman and a person of color. So if you criticize anything I say, you’re both sexist and racist.
I may not know the first thing about running the country, but remember, that’s a good thing if you’re a deep state puppet. I had four years under the tutelage of the ultimate deep state puppet, a wonderful mentor, Joe Joe taught me rule number one, carefully hide your total incompetence.
I take insignificant things and I discuss them as if they’re significant. And I believe that exploring the significance of the insignificant is in itself significant. Talking about the significance of the passage of time, right? The significance of the passage of time. “So when you think about it, there is great significance to the passage of time, and there is such great significance to the passage of time.”
And Another trick is trying to sound black. I pretend to celebrate Kwanza, and in my speeches, I always do my best Barack Obama impression. “So hear me when I say, I know Donald Trump’s type.”
And okay, look, maybe my work addressing the root causes of the border crisis were catastrophic, but my knowledge of international politics is truly shocking. “The United States shares a very important relationship, which is an alliance with the Republic of North Korea. It is an alliance that is strong and enduring.”
Just remember, when voting this November, it is important to see what can be unburdened by what has been. And by what has been… I mean, Joe Biden. Do you think the country went to over the past four years? You ain’t seen nothing yet. (Cackle).”
This is amazing 😂

Of course, the ad is not meant to be taken seriously. It is a satirical take on Harris’s time in office, highlighting some of her more cringeworthy moments. But it has struck a chord with many people who are frustrated with the Biden administration and its lack of progress on key issues.
The ad’s popularity is a testament to the power of humor and satire in political discourse. In an era of intense political polarization, it can be refreshing to see a lighthearted take on the state of the country. And while the ad may not change anyone’s mind about Harris or the Biden administration, it serves as a reminder that sometimes, a good laugh can be the best medicine.
So, thank you, Elon Musk, for sharing this hilarious ad with the world. It may not have been your intention to become a viral sensation, but your retweet has brought some much-needed levity to the political discourse. And who knows, maybe it will even inspire some politicians to take themselves a little less seriously.
