Elon Musk's X Spreads 2 BILLION Views of ELECTION LIES! Trump Endorsement Fuels Misinformation! HUGE Scandal!

Community Notes and the 2024 Election: Can They Combat Elon Musk's Misinformation on X (Twitter)?

Elon Musk's X (formerly Twitter) is a hotbed of election misinformation, and it's getting a staggering number of views. A new analysis found that Musk's misleading election claims have racked up over two billion views this year alone. This raises huge concerns about the platform's role in the upcoming 2024 Election, particularly given Musk's open endorsement of Donald Trump. Musk, despite his huge following, seems to spread lots of election disinformation on X/Twitter which makes users suspicious as some comments suggest within their Community Notes also! With a tightly contested race up ahead all this content about elections worries several groups over fears of disinformation or other things being spread so X/Twitter users keep watchful regarding Community Notes to identify when accounts from big, famous sources do questionable sharing which others mention within replies directly also about "what ifs" those high following and follower counts from large accounts spread info to potentially mislead or even try to "incite fear and other types of division too". Community notes are just one tool to keep an eye out!

Beyond just posting, Musk has put his money where his mouth is, donating over $118 million to a Pro-Trump super PAC. Even worse, his Misinformation megaphone is reaching way more people than any official, political ad even which several publications covering both digital technology, media like on reuters.com and then general news like on bbc.com! People might wonder whether tech itself plays positive or negative role or at least if those leaders even engage at all! Since those major players certainly have the power when so few have that kind of influence - people may really expect something to be done to mitigate Disinformation at the kind of large reach discussed now since that analysis found its total view numbers at above 2 billion, according to articles, including those appearing all the way at end October at popular sites around the topic like the one found at protocol.com since folks want accuracy and balance. Also whether fact checked too among different metrics used by those seeking information to help identify accuracy or reliability among others!

Musk's not just tweeting randomly; there's a clear pattern here. Many of his posts push far-right narratives and support Trump, often by attacking Kamala Harris. One of his favorite tactics? Repeating the false claim that Democrats are “importing voters” – a debunked conspiracy theory about documentation status! He shares posts related to those kinds of inaccurate assumptions directly too and despite all community flagging or attempts made in reporting them, there seem very minimal impact for each occurrence and especially for any cumulative effects of it all. Even others share anecdotes about receiving misleading messages via accounts seemingly owned or operated by foreign influencers during peak news cycles!

It all becomes really worrying. This isn't some small-time blog; this Misinformation is coming from the owner of a major social media platform, reaching billions. Given the stakes, X will become under more scrutiny in terms of those responsibilities for information reliability across feeds to combat these effects for each of its individual account users along with others indirectly related given the general social nature all the networks which various publications covering politics among newsfeeds report.

Misinformation and Disinformation on X: Elon Musk, the 2024 Election, and the Fight Against Falsehoods

Critics point that Musk ripped out several of X/Twitter's guardrails to combat false information, which he himself does not actually address, leaving people skeptical even in cases when perhaps well intentioned in several respects related around community generated discussions by real verified human account owners/commenters.

Even fact checks, reports directly pointing inaccuracies may not have huge effect alone as one might expect while this analysis from the Center for Countering Digital Hate claims and suggests Musk might very likely qualify as this year’s “top source spreading Disinformation impacting this political election cycle!” since so many eyes even see that content directly posted from sources like official campaign accounts and/or Musk related and or aligned pages on those online feeds as those mentioned already or others where election commentary thrive there now along with anywhere politically oriented too.

Musk constantly shares negative messages impacting political opponent Harris directly instead of actually sharing facts to sway popular opinion across social feeds on this social platform while most others in comments at different news media sources and feeds express that "both sides need more productive sharing around actual policies and data as also asked around other election related discourse which may really help improve discourse too instead of negative messaging" as people suggest - and even then several articles covered the irony of some content like the article at sfchronicle.com showed.

For an idea about just how vast a media effect occurs through his digital actions alone: his messages for Trump over merely a short 90 day timeframe received such huge numbers in views from the general account base that he effectively saved a Trump campaign itself $24m that otherwise could have spent toward advertising. If his digital influence is huge people might imagine or have views or comments regarding its impact but there really wasn’t any indication related regarding how Musk would wield this social clout other than that his very open embrace of candidate Trump continued unfettered despite such public or semi-private calls that Musk act in better ways toward fact related statements and those against demonstrably proven inaccuracies too that people keep asking across several venues where election information happens and which any community related platform must balance even during times having elevated or emotionally charged activity also across any vertical including related toward politics or at least politically related discussions where it sometimes may appear highly emotionally reactive too, not just for election-oriented content but more generically for those social networks already during daily operations so the additional news topics become even more strained on those venues and their technical moderators especially.

From Twitter to X: Elon Musk, Community Notes, and the Future of Political Discourse

While community note features provide a good attempt toward greater factual discourse several publications reporting about social technology also write in both critical yet even constructive fashion in those regards regarding both X or Musk - as evidenced from reporting as recent as late-October such as this recent cnbc.com headline where several such issues around Elon or related toward X get discussed at great length. People hope changes come through either direct Musk action or simply other avenues even via account management changes. Other community comments about political candidates generally relate that campaigns present in truthful fashions on relevant media since voters may seek all factual content from any media whenever considering policy decisions of a social/fiscal type especially toward those times with heightened related attention like election cycles are already at local or broader regional areas at all geographical scopes where social groups find those information types relevant.

Since several aspects here were around the impact or effects of these large view count statements it really only makes matters much worse that Elon remains embroiled even during end-October timeframe via continuing public discourse and actions as highlighted with lawsuits, reporting from various places about how digital misinformation gets moderated also and across articles like these ones around other topics like at slate.com in additional ways so these public lawsuits around hate groups add to the already busy news feeds involving digital activity plus any Musk/X-centric pieces like found already via other previously mentioned reporting links and/or various tech oriented venues across all vertical interests, whether in digital tech specifically or otherwise related! Also this means users keep extremely watchful as articles even on techcrunch.com covered since accounts on the uptick might cause disruption also!
