Elon Musk Criticizes X's Fact-Checking Tool Over Ukraine Poll Disputes

Musk claims X's Community Notes feature is being manipulated after polls show strong support for Ukraine's Zelenskyy, contradicting Trump-aligned narratives.

Elon Musk announced plans to 'fix' X's Community Notes feature, alleging it is being 'gamed' by governments and legacy media without providing evidence.
Musk's criticism follows polling data showing Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy with over 50% approval, countering claims by U.S. President Donald Trump that Zelenskyy is deeply unpopular.
Community Notes, introduced to combat misinformation, has drawn scrutiny for its reliance on user-generated corrections, which experts argue can be influenced by biases and lack transparency.
Musk's comments align with Trump's rhetoric against Zelenskyy and coincide with U.S.-Russia talks excluding Ukraine, fueling concerns over X's role in amplifying political agendas.
Experts warn that Musk's actions and rhetoric could undermine the credibility of X's fact-checking efforts, highlighting the risks of owner-driven platform manipulation.
