Musk shares faked far-right 'detainment camp' for rioters post

The image was faked to look like it had come from the Daily Telegraph website.

Elon Musk has deleted an image he shared on X, formerly Twitter, which promoted a conspiracy theory about the UK building "detainment camps" on the Falkland Islands for rioters. The image - which was faked to look like it had come from the Daily Telegraph website - had been posted by the co-leader of the far-right Britain First party, Ashlea Simon, though it had appeared elsewhere before she shared it. Mr Musk has used his platform in the past to praise its "community notes" feature, which allows X's own users to partially verify whether posts are real or not.
