False or misleading statements by billionaire Elon Musk about the american election have racked up 2 billion views on social media platform X this year, according to a report by the non-profit group Center for Countering Digital Hate. Musk’s massive reach, with nearly 203 million followers, helps enable “network effects” where content on X can bounce across other social media and messaging platforms. At least 87 of Musk’s posts this year promoted claims about the US election that fact-checkers rated as false or misleading, garnering 2 billion views, the report said.
