Quick answers
What tools do you need?
Veo (google's ai video model with native sound (veo 3), used in gemini and flow).
How much does it cost?
Veo is paid or trial-based. Check each tool's site for current prices.
Is it allowed?
X allows original content; deceptive synthetic media likely to cause harm can be labeled or removed, and paid posts must be disclosed. Source.
Watch out: His fee is not disclosed, and the 100M figure is as stated by the creator. Kalshi is a prediction market; check the rules before making ads for betting-style products.

Full write-up & sources
More detail: He made it with Google's Veo 3 in two days and posted a breakdown with his prompt.
Results: He later wrote he could have saved about $2,000 by generating in Google Flow ($1 a generation) instead of Vertex ($6). Announcing a second Kalshi ad in July 2025, he said the first one "hit 100M views".
Worth knowing: He says his 40M+ views on Studio Ghibli-style clips brought far less inbound work than this ad, which he says brought 100x more.
