(VOR News) – Following the weekend Trump assassination attempt, Elon Musk informed X that “no one is even trying to assassinate” the Democratic president and vice president.
Musk declared, “civil war is inevitable,” during UK anti-Muslim riots brought on by unfounded allegations. Musk called the allegation of fake voter registrations in three US states raised “very concerning” by an unidentified X user.
Authorities have labelled Musk’s three tweets dishonest and careless. One of the most powerful people in the world can spread hate, terror, and false information with millions of views and hundreds of likes during political unrest.
Elon Musk runs Twitter and might change how material is distributed.
Musk’s website’s lack of security and his false assertions to his 200 million fans raise public trust issues as Election Day draws near. Should Trump be reelected and increase his political activity, he volunteered to supervise a government efficiency committee.
Monday night at X, Trump referred to Musk as a “friend.” Musk turned down a comment email request. Experts and electoral officials claim Elon Musk’s vote might be called into doubt. They fear that bringing this up could encourage harassment of candidates and election volunteers.
Co-founder of the Global Project Against Hate and Extremism Heidi Beirich notes “X and Musk are dangerously and irresponsibly raising the temperature of politics at a critical juncture.” Such shame.
Conservatives praise the 53-year-old entrepreneur who bought Twitter in 2022 and turned it into a free market for ideas. X is better than conventional media since people may write freely and find the “truth”.
Elon Musk let false information spread about the company’s changes over the past two years.
Following his takeover, the hate speech policy, content moderation, and Trust and Safety advisory council were wiped from the website. He established content partnerships, restored conspiracy theorist accounts, and produced fictitious Community Notes.
Both sides lie and buy thousands of X shares. Following a Pennsylvania gunman’s ear shot of Trump, the left spread false rumours. Following the discussion between Trump and Harris, far-right trolls asserted Harris wore an earpiece.
Elon Musk endangered the 2020 trustworthy information center, says Rick Hasen. People nowadays see Twitter (X) differently. Hasen thinks millions of viewers and sponsors left the network for a specific reason. His data is inaccurate. Hasen thinks the market of ideas should be efficient enough for consumers to find false claims.
Numerous Republicans disagree with Elon Musk. They assert that the prior proprietor of the website misled regarding Hunter Biden, President Joe Biden’s son, and COVID-19’s beginnings.
Elon Musk discusses kids, memes, Tesla, SpaceX, and On the website, he disseminates incorrect political assertions including Democrats “importing” immigrants to vote and Haitian immigrants in Ohio slaughtering and eating pets.
Jocelyn Benson, Democratic secretary of state for Michigan, said in an interview last month that Musk’s election tweets were a “maelstrom of disinformation” making voter education challenging.
“I know most election officials just keep their heads down and work,” he continues. “How do we inform the public about our work—many of whom follow Musk, X, or the platform?”
Election officials have told Elon Musk supporters. Using X post, the Republican recorder for Maricopa County, Arizona, covering Phoenix, offered Musk an all-access tour of an election centre.
Four secretaries, including Minnesota Democrat Steve Simon, wrote to Elon Musk following the publication of erroneous election rules this summer by Grok, an artificial intelligence tool. Musk’s most recent modification earned praise.
Like Twitter before Musk, Elon Musk may find electoral fallacies.
“It’s one thing to not like the Minnesota election system, or any election system for that matter,” he continued, “but incorrect vote totals have to be fixed.”
Head of the U.S. Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency Jen Easterly responded to Elon Musk’s claim last month that most U.S. elections do not use paper ballots. The 2020 election was the last chance “all states w/close presidential vote counts actually used paper records, allowing votes to be counted, recounted, & audited to ensure accuracy.”
Once the X owner realises his posts are incorrect, he deletes them. Supporting a Tucker Carlson Holocaust revisionist interview last month set off wrath. Deleted.
On Sunday, Musk wrote off Biden and Harris’ lack of assassination attempts. Andrew Bates, a White House spokesman, labelled the remarks “irresponsible” and stated, “violent jokes should only be condemned.”
Most celebrities, according to University of Virginia media studies professor Siva Vaidhyanathan, are careful while making jokes since they know not everyone will understand them or react suitably. Musk refuted owning such a filter.
Vaidhyanathan doubts Musk’s political dishonesty. His phoney election expenses cost him and others sponsors’ platform money. Musk, he said, “just one more voice in that cacophony.”
