Hate to be the dissent here, but this post from X is idiotic. Before you downvote, please let me explain why.

Reason 1: This photo is shot on a long lens, which means that everything you see is spacially compressed. While it may look like those folks are standing right up against the plane, chances are that they are actually 50-100 feet away at least, for safety reasons.

Reason 2: the plane's fuselage and engines have a cyndrilical shape, which squeezes the reflection vertically by a large degree. You can see the dark rectangle, which is the reflection of the airport hanger, which is at least 40-50 feet high based on a quick search. If the average person is 6 feet tall, this means that the crowd is squeezed into the bottom 1/8th of that dark shape, at which point the image compression would make any crowd detail difficult to discern.

Reason 3: There have been many other videos and photos of the rally posted online. Here is a video shared by Bhavik Lathia on X, who is a digital director for Kamala in battleground States. This is from the same venue as the photo in this post. Clearly the crowd is real.

We really need to be more careful about making accusations of greenscreen, AI, CGI and the like. I have extensive experience in digital fakery and in all my years on this site I've not seen one credible accusation of this kind of thing before. This latest one is no exception. Let's focus of what we can confirm, which is that Kamala bussed in many supporters and probably paid many of them to be there. This sort of speculation just makes our side look stupid.
