Easily the most compelling campaign poster I've seen so far.
My lips are chapped from all these Chef's kisses lately, but this cleary is superb.
As long as it gets more people to listen to one of his STUPIDEST rants of all time.

It has to be a record amount of just the dumbest crap he's ever said in under 3 minutes. He's not actually lying about stuff, it's him fundamentally not knowing super basic science and just putting full display how fucking dumb he is.
He manages to fail:
Understanding buoyancy
Being unaware that gas powered boats also have batteries
Quoting someone as if they agreed with him that was absolutely an insult
Disagreeing with a marine biologist on how sharks work
Not understanding electrical current travels in water
Your point #2 is misleading. Though he didn't explicitly mention it, the battery he refers to is the high-voltage Li-Ion battery (about 400 V) not the lead-acid starter battery, which is 15 volts when fully charged (on most boats). (I can imagine that's because he doesn't understand the technology; he's been seen ranting about mercury in energy-saving lamps in 2020, well after LEDs superseded fluorescent lamps in all applications.)
Still, the short-circuit current is unlikely to paralyze anyone swimming reasonably far. The easiest way to see if electric boats are indeed hazardous is death statistics. I'm pretty sure there are way fewer electrocution cases at sea than, say, gun deaths.
