Gavin Newsom Uses AI To Battle Memes, but It Backfires

California Governor Gavin Newsom‘s attempt to shut down trolls about his awkward “testicle-crushing” sitting pose has spectacularly backfired. The governor’s press office’s AI-generated response to the memes of his uncomfortable sitting position backfired, sparking another fresh wave of memes. The bizarre response, meant to do some damage control, instead fueled a wave of jokes and mockery on social media.

Gavin Newsom’s response to his ‘sitting pose’ meme backfires

Gavin Newsom’s attempt to deflect New York Post’s coverage of his “testicle-crushing” sitting pose at the New York Times DealBook Summit royally backfired. The containment attempt unleashed a meme tsunami of netizens roasting the awkward pose.

In a backfire strategy, the governor’s press office posted an AI-generated image of Newsom in an exaggerated, contorted yoga pose with the caption, “Democracy requires flexibility”. Gavin Newsom’s weird AI stunt blew up in his face with X-users trolling him for the post’s tone-deaf humor. Additionally, journalists and opposition parties also questioned his latest social media antics.

“Gavin is really going to look back and regret this one,” the Monterey County Republican Party wrote in response to Newsom’s AI-generated post on X. The hilarious post shows Newsom striking a yoga pose similar to Dwi Pada Sirsasana.

In the viral AI-generated video, Gavin Newsom is rocking pink spandex. Newsom’s AI doppelganger awkwardly guides Kamala Harris, Michelle Obama, Nancy Pelosi, and Tim Walz during a wild yoga pose. Adding to the hilarity of the post, Newsom exclaims, “Wow, I think my toes are talking back to me!”

Another trending parody video shows Newsom rocketing off the Dealbook Summit stage, plummeting into the ocean.

Another roast had the viral “crazy plane lady” pointing at Newsom while shouting, “that motherf–ker back there is not real!”

Besides the meme reactions, Newsom’s X( formerly Twitter) post also garnered side-splitting roasts.  Sen. Ted Cruz quipped, “Apparently, being elected in California has different responsibilities than in Texas”.

“Sweet mangina, bro”, one X user wrote. “Everyone screenshot this for when he runs for president”, another chimed in. “No way you embarrassed your boss like this, intern. There’s just no way”, one user tweeted.
