Anti-hate group says Elon Musk continues to peddle election falsehoods on X unchecked


Elon Musk's X may have rules allowing for community notes about false election information and preventing deep fake videos. However, a new report shows that Musk hasn't corrected or reprimanded for any of his false posts.

He also asserted that “Mail-in and drop box ballots should not be allowed,” accompanied by a video of Fox News’ Jesse Waters and Speaker of the House Mike Johnson making claims about the ease of which non-citizens can vote in American elections. The faked fooage features the voice of someone claiming to be Harris talking about how she’s the “ultimate diversity hire” and how she tries to “sound black” and “pretends to celebrate Kwanzaa.” Once again, the post has no community note or correction, even though sharing "synthetic, manipulated, or out-of-context media" is in direct contravention of X's policies. The parent company of X filed a federal lawsuit in San Francisco against the non-profit group claiming it illegally scraped its servers and purposely picked hateful posts as part of “a scare campaign to drive away advertisers,” according to court documents.
