When Allen Musk’s platform told a big claim, the owner gave his clarification like this:

News India Live, Digital Desk: Community Notes: In the world of social media, the line between truth and lies becomes very blurred. Something similar happened when Peter Navarro, who was an advisor to former US President Donald Trump, made a big claim about India. But the interesting thing is that his claim was not wronged by anyone else, but the platform of Allen Musk himself.

The case started from a post by Peter Navaro, in which he alleged that India buys crude oil from Russia and then refine it and then sells fuel made from the US Army. His claim started spreading very fast on social media. But soon, the ‘community notes’ feature of X (X) added a fact-check under this claim. In this fact-check it was clearly stated that the claim of Navaro is false. Community notes, X is a feature of X where users themselves work to improve wrong information and add correct facts about it.

When the claim of a high-profile person was wronged on his own platform, everyone’s eyes were on Alan Musk. People hoped that they would say something on this. Musk reacted to the matter, but his style was completely different.

He did not directly take anyone’s side, but said a small and deep thing. He wrote, “People only decide the narrator.” The meaning of his answer was clear that the final decision of truth or lies on his platform would not make any company or any person, but a group of users i.e. ‘public’.

Alan Musk has always been a great supporter of freedom of expression and believes that people should be decided between right and wrong. This incident is another example of how social media platforms are no longer the means of sharing information, but they themselves have become a battleground of truth and lies.
