The post garnered a range of reactions on social media, with some people making fun of the image, saying that it looks more like Eva Longoria, an American actor best known for her role in the reality TV series Desperate Housewives, than Harris. Here are some of the reactions:
"Setting aside everything else—which is a lot admittedly—I’d just like to say that your AI sucks. Is that Eva Longoria?" one user said.

"You don’t think this type of extreme manipulation at best, flat out lie at worst isn’t dangerous coming from the richest person on earth that happens to own one of the largest platforms? Doesn’t all the money and power come with more responsibility?" wrote one user.

"Difference is he was already president for 4 years and didn’t become a dictator. Kamala’s track record shows that she has a proclivity for corruption. Corruption leads to tyranny. We will lose America and the rest of the free world if Harris wins," said one.
