A cynical person might say that people are pushing fake Musk's tweet to reduce the chance of people paying attention to the real bullshit and then to dismiss the real ones as "probably another fake tweet"
I can't find the text anywhere online either. Usually when someone high profile says something incredibly stupid some news outlet will include the text somewhere. Fake.
This is a fake tweet, it seems. Yet it was approved without any cross-checking. In this day of misinformation I can't let this influence my views. Unsubbing until that changes.
"True, but it isn’t wrong." No. Do not rely on literal fake tweets for proving your point. Use actual evidence if that's really what's happening. Fake tweets only worsen your point.
Outsourcing moderation to up votes instead of actually enforcing the rules was so disappointing. Is it too much to ask for a single sub with a fun theme to actually require that theme?
Elon Musk basically calls the working class (Trumps support base) entitled and ungrateful and says it's better to bring in migrants than invest in them.
We can’t be falling for the misinformation that we’re fighting against. It makes us no better than them. You should delete this, edit it, or provide a source if this is real.
Letting blatant misinformation like this stay up for so long should be enough to get a subreddit banned. The mods here have let their subreddit become overrun by bots. I'm sure the mods will eventually delete it, but only after it's dropped off the front page and the damage has been done. It happens suspiciously often here.
I'd love to see people like Musk start throwing out defamation lawsuits against the people that post these, and Reddit for keeping them up, that would put a stop to it. If the right-wing really are as bad as people say, there should be no reason to constantly create fake tweets from them.
Not sure about other posts, but several posts involving Musk's tweets garner a lot of comments claiming FAKE. I can't verify either way, but it does seem dodgy.
They don't ban for it, but they should. It does open them up to potential legal action from the people being accused of saying things they didn't say.
The reason why so many Musk tweets get comments from people saying they're fake, is because they are fake. There's obviously a group operating on this site creating fake tweets, and this subreddit is one of the biggest ones they're using to spread them. The mods know that, but they let it happen. This tweet doesn't even fit the LAMF theme, but it stays up anyway.
Buddy I hate Elon as much as the next guy but this very much seems to be a fake tweet. And therefore misinformation. Don’t become the very thing we are trying to fight.
