Elon Musk Envisions X As An Open Source News Platform

Musk is causing a stir by advocating for a community-driven approach to news sharing on this platform.

Responding to concerns about misinformation on X, Musk highlighted the role of Community Notes, a tool that allows users to annotate posts and provide context. He made a clear distinction between X and mainstream media, emphasising that X operates on an open source philosophy, providing an alternative to tightly regulated narratives found in traditional news outlets.

Musk firmly believes that all the crucial information from legacy media is already available on X, asserting the platform’s position as a hub for relevant news and discussions. However, some users have expressed doubts about its effectiveness in combating misinformation. Concerns include delays in the appearance of annotations, which may allow misleading information to spread, as well as accusations that X may inadvertently promote misinformation targeting American institutions.
