Elon Musk is facing significant backlash for spreading misinformation on his social media platform, X (formerly Twitter), particularly regarding political topics and events. He has shared false claims about a bomb threat at a Trump rally, immigrants supposedly eating pets in Ohio, and even a misleading electoral map projecting a Trump victory. Musk’s posts, which often attract millions of views, are criticized for contributing to the proliferation of disinformation during a crucial election period. Notably, he has amplified content from a company linked to a Russian disinformation campaign aimed at manipulating public opinion in the U.S. Additionally, leaked documents revealed Musk was duped into sharing a meme created by a Russian-backed agency, highlighting his susceptibility to misinformation. Critics argue that Musk’s actions and the lack of moderation on X allow harmful narratives to spread unchecked.
