An ad targeting Vice President Kamala Harris, released by Elon Musk's political action committee, employs derogatory terms typically aimed at women and accuses her of communism.

The 35-second video, shared on Musk's platform on October 25, features incendiary language against Harris, describing her as a 'tax-hiking, regulation-loving, gun-grabbing communist.' The imagery includes overlaid footage of Harris alongside a cartoonish depiction of a cat in Soviet military garb.

This ad has stirred considerable attention amid the intensifying rhetoric as the campaign nears its end. Musk, who has endorsed Donald Trump, offers incentives to battleground state signers of an America PAC petition, despite legal challenges. The video illustrates the growing trend of provocative political discourse.
