Elon Musk the owner of X urged the people and scribes to post news on X. However, some users questioned Musk’s comment on making X a trusted news platform.
“There’s also a lot of info you can’t trust as well.
Community notes help, but sometimes they don’t show up fast enough,” a user posted. “In reality, it’s a platform of misinformation with American institutions in its crosshairs,” another commented.
Musk last month encouraged people to do citizen journalism on X. “Please encourage more citizen journalism! You can do live video easily from your phone.
More on-the-ground reporting from regular citizens will change the world,” he said.
Amid the call to shun legacy media, X has stopped showing headlines to news articles shared on the platform, allowing only the main image and the web domain name the image to be linked to.
In August, Musk invited journalists to publish directly on X and earn a higher income.
