Elon Musk, the owner of X, has responded to Joe Biden’s recent claims about “misinformation” on his platform in a series of hilarious posts. Biden had criticized Musk for supposedly “lowering guardrails to misinformation” on Twitter, to which Musk replied with a simple “Lamooo.” It seems that many people believe Musk has actually exposed misinformation on Twitter before he took over, rather than contributing to it.
In addition to his response to Biden, Musk recently fired the majority of the remaining Twitter team responsible for maintaining “election integrity,” stating that they were actually undermining it. He sarcastically referred to them as the “Election Integrity” Team, emphasizing the irony of their actions. It seems that Musk is taking steps to ensure that his platform is not misused to manipulate or spread false information during elections.
Joe Biden blames Elon Musk’s takeover of Twitter/X for people not knowing if news they’re getting on the internet is true or not

Furthermore, Musk has been involved in a legal battle with the Anti-Defamation League (ADL) and the Center for Countering Digital Hate. Musk has accused these organizations of falsely accusing him and X of being anti-Semitic and allowing hate speech on the platform. He has vowed to sue them for their “false” claims. The ADL spokesperson responded by stating that they are not surprised by these attacks, as they have faced similar challenges before.
These incidents highlight Musk’s commitment to maintaining transparency and free speech on his platform, while also taking action against those who he believes are unfairly targeting him. It seems that Musk is not afraid to stand up against influential organizations and individuals to protect the integrity of X and ensure that it remains a platform for open discussion and debate.
