Elon Musk Plans Overhaul of X's Community Notes Feature
Musk claims the fact-checking tool is being misused by governments and media, raising concerns about its future role on the platform.
- Elon Musk announced plans to modify X's Community Notes feature, which allows users to fact-check posts and provide contextual information.
- Musk argues the feature is being manipulated by governments and traditional media, though he has not provided specific details on the planned changes.
- The announcement follows a dispute on X between Donald Trump and Volodymyr Zelenskyy, where Musk backed Trump's criticisms of the Ukrainian president.
- Musk's comments included claims that Zelenskyy is unpopular in Ukraine, contradicting polls showing a 57% approval rating for the Ukrainian leader.
- Critics fear the changes could undermine the platform's ability to counter misinformation, especially in politically sensitive discussions.
