Mark Ruffalo Apologizes for Sharing AI-Generated Images of Trump on Epstein's Plane

Actor blames Elon Musk's X platform for allowing disinformation to circulate, contributing to its reported daily loss of nearly $70 million in value.

  • Actor Mark Ruffalo shared AI-generated images on Elon Musk's X platform, falsely depicting former President Donald Trump with young girls on Jeffrey Epstein's plane.
  • Ruffalo later apologized for the misinformation, but blamed the incident on Musk for allowing such disinformation to circulate on his platform.
  • Users of the X platform were quick to point out the images were AI-generated, and the post was labeled as such by the platform.
  • Ruffalo linked his apology to a Business Insider article from October 2023, which reported that X has been losing nearly $70 million per day in value since Elon Musk took over.
  • Despite the controversy, Ruffalo remains an outspoken critic of Trump and has previously called him 'an enemy of America' and 'public enemy number one' in relation to climate change.
