Elon Musk to “fix” Community Notes after they contradict Trump

arstechnica.com Unknown 2025-11-18 06:22:01

Elon Musk apparently no longer believes that crowdsourcing fact-checking through Community Notes can never be manipulated and is, thus, the best way to correct bad posts on his social media platform X. Community Notes are supposed to be added to posts to limit misinformation spread after a broad consensus is reached among X users with diverse viewpoints on what corrections are needed. But Musk now claims a "fix" is needed to prevent supposedly outside influencers from allegedly gaming the syste

gizmodo.com Lucas Ropek 2025-11-18 05:50:02

The FBI and local police are investigating after gunshots shattered windows at a Tesla dealership in Oregon on Wednesday morning—the latest potential sign that Tesla’s CEO, billionaire-turned-“bureaucrat” Elon Musk, is stirring discontent throughout the nation. The dealership, which is located in the state’s capital city of Salem, was struck by gunfire and a car was lit on fire. Police at the scene said they were investigating arson and vandalism crimes. The same dealership was apparently the s

U.S. Government Removing EV Chargers From All Federal Buildings Because They Are ‘Not Mission-Critical’

gizmodo.com Thomas Maxwell 2025-11-18 06:05:44

As part of its continued efforts to own the libs, or get rid of anything President Trump does not like or understand, the General Services Administration is gearing up to remove electric chargers from all federal properties nationwide. The agency says the hundreds of chargers and estimated 8,000 plugs available for federal workers to charge their cars are “not mission critical.” The agency, which manages buildings owned by the federal government as well as vehicles, will also offload any EVs pur

New Polling Shows Americans Increasingly Disgusted With Elon Musk

futurism.com Unknown 2025-11-18 05:52:56

Unelected White House budget slasher and richest man in the world Elon Musk's so-called Department of Government Efficiency has ripped through the federal government like a bull in a china shop. The billionaire's hodge-podge team of underqualified 20-somethings — and at least one literal teenager — have already ripped up countless government contracts and fired thousands of federal employees — only to rehire those who were in charge of nuclear security and protecting the US from a looming bird

Musk’s Plan to Kill the ISS Early Is a Selfish, Shortsighted Move

gizmodo.com Adam Kovac 2025-11-18 06:05:34

The immediate future of the International Space Station is suddenly in doubt thanks to a single tweet. Elon Musk, owner of SpaceX and unelected advisor to President Donald Trump on basically everything, wants the venerable station gone, and he wants it gone sooner rather than later. On Thursday, Musk posted on his X platform that he believes it’s “time to begin preparations for deorbiting” the ISS. “It has served its purpose,” he declared. “There is very little incremental utility.

Elon Musk Just Caused a Huge Headache for the New Head of NASA

futurism.com Unknown 2025-11-18 02:06:08

SpaceX CEO and unelected White House advisor Elon Musk unexpectedly said today that he wants the International Space Station destroyed "as soon as possible." In a tweet today, the mercurial entrepreneur asserted that it's "time to begin preparations for deorbiting the space station," arguing that "it has served its purpose," with "very little incremental utility." Instead, Musk argued, the station should be destroyed within two years — but left the final decision "up to the President." It's a

Elon Searching for Investors Gullible Enough to Pour More Money Into Twitter

futurism.com Unknown 2025-11-18 03:13:39

In 2022, Elon Musk placed a bid of almost $44 billion to acquire Twitter, which he then tried to worm out of. With his back against the wall after a brief skirmish in the courts, Musk chose to honor his original purchase agreement and take over the platform. Flash forward to the present day, and X-formerly-Twitter has lost upward of 79 percent of its original value after neo-Nazis flocked to the platform and big-name advertisers fled in droves. Now, in a somewhat rare move for the richest man

Elon Musk wants to 'fix' Community Notes on X

engadget.com Unknown 2025-11-18 06:23:10

Elon Musk has a problem with Community Notes, the crowdsourced fact-checking feature that started as Birdwatch, and launched at scale after he purchased Twitter. "Unfortunately @CommunityNotes is increasingly being gamed by governments & legacy media," Musk posted. "Working to fix this..." Based on the rant his tweet descends in to afterwards, his issue appears to be with how X's Community Notes contributors have been treating misinformation about President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and the war in Uk

Elon Musk Says He’ll ‘Fix’ Community Notes on X After It Disagreed With Him

gizmodo.com Matt Novak 2025-11-18 03:50:07

Elon Musk is not happy with Community Notes, the crowdsourced fact-checking program that adds notes to correct misinformation on his social media platform X. And the billionaire says he’s now going to “fix” Community Notes so that it agrees with him, claiming without evidence that it’s being manipulated by governments and the media. “Unfortunately, @CommunityNotes is increasingly being gamed by governments & legacy media.

Trump and Musk Double Down on Bogus ‘Stranded’ Starliner Astronauts Narrative

gizmodo.com Adam Kovac 2025-11-18 04:50:26

President Donald Trump and his bestest billionaire buddy Elon Musk continue to spread blatant lies about the situation surrounding the two Boeing Starliner astronauts currently aboard the ISS. In an interview with Fox News host Sean Hannity, the pair once again—falsely—said the two astronauts are stranded and in need of rescue, and baselessly pinned the blame on former president Joe Biden. In a transcript of the interview posted to the White House website, Trump made several false claims about

Elon Musk recommends that the International Space Station be deorbited ASAP

arstechnica.com Unknown 2025-11-18 05:10:29

In a remarkable statement Thursday, SpaceX founder Elon Musk said the International Space Station should be deorbited "as soon as possible." This comment from Musk will surely set off a landmine in the global space community, with broad implications. And it appears to be no idle comment from Musk who, at times, indulges in deliberately provocative posts on the social media network X that he owns. However, that does not seem to be the case here.

Elon Musk Is Shamelessly Firing Government Workers Who Were Investigating His Companies

In an unnerving press conference last Tuesday, Elon Musk assured skeptical reporters that his DOGE government cost-cutting efforts had nothing to do with his private business interests. "All of our actions are fully public," Musk stammered as his four-year-old son tore up the Oval Office carpet. "So if you see anything, you say like, wait a second, hey Elon, that [seems like], there's a conflict there, it's not like people are going to be shy about saying that."

The Incompetence of DOGE Is a Feature, Not a Bug

Within just the last week or so, Elon Musk’s DOGE hit team of mostly young, almost exclusively male engineers and executives have done the following: Pushed a website live to track “savings” that showed no savings for several days, and made it trivially easy for random people on the internet to make changes to it. Published classified information on that same website. Got called out for accidentally inflating that savings amount by $7,992,000,000, and doubled down on their inaccuracy before t

Survey shows Elon Musk remains popular among Republicans, but both sides dislike Mark Zuckerberg

techspot.com Rob Thubron 2025-11-18 10:39:00

In a nutshell: Two of the most influential CEOs in the tech world, Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg, have closely aligned themselves with President Donald Trump recently, but how has that affected the nation's view of these billionaires? According to a new survey, more people dislike the pair than like them. However, while Republicans understandably have a more favorable opinion of Musk, it seems almost everyone dislikes Zuckerberg.

Trump Orders Musk to Get Air Force One Finished Quickly, Even If It Isn't Fully Safe Yet

futurism.com Unknown 2025-11-18 08:36:11

What's the worst that could happen? President Donald Trump is running out of patience with Boeing, which was supposed to deliver two new Air Force One planes by the end of his predecessor's term. And guess who he's turning to to speed things up? Elon Musk, who Trump has "empowered" to take measures to get the beleaguered aerospace company to stop dragging its feet, the New York Times reports. Trump's pick for the task isn't surprising, since he's asked the world's richest man to do everything

Big Tech Hijacked Steve Bannon’s Movement

gizmodo.com Matthew Gault 2025-11-18 06:50:32

Steve Bannon is out and Elon Musk is in. A man who once had an office and a whiteboard in the White House now has a podcast. It’s not nothing, but it’s not an extra-governmental agency that has access to the backend systems that make America run and hum. Banon was once the darling of right-wing media and the world’s preeminent Trump whisperer. Now he’s “Sloppy Steve,” Musk is sitting next to Trump during interviews, and Bannon says he’s ready for war. And while Bannon whines, Musk is opening th

Elon’s DOGE Claimed It Saved $8 Billion. The Real Figure Was $8 Million.

Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency claims to be fighting the scourge of government “waste” and fraud and, this week, DOGE claimed that it had already saved taxpayers tens of billions of dollars. However, in an ironic twist, it would appear that the claims being made by Musk and DOGE about their own activities appear to be, themselves, fraudulent. Despite recently claiming that it had already saved Americans $55 billion, the information on DOGE’s website only accounts for $16 billio

Cybertruck Guy Makes Mocha Frappuccino While Cruising on Self-Driving Mode

Cybertruck fan Jeremy Judkins, who has seemingly made owning the divisive vehicle his entire personality, made a "mocha frappuccino" while the car's "Full Self-Driving" driver assistance feature was steering it through the streets. The video shows Judkins giddy with excitement as he uses a red Vitamix blender to make the concoction. The Cybertruck's steering yoke can be seen completing turns on its own as he licks the blender's tamper. "All you have to do is keep your eyes on the road," he wro
