    On Monday, he debuted another effort: X added a purported “Election Integrity Community”—a feed where users of the site can add instances “of voter fraud or irregularities you see while voting in the 2024 election.” America PAC—the political action committee Musk founded and reportedly sent $75 million—is behind the move. By Tuesday afternoon, the “Election Integrity Community” had 10,000 members.

    The crowdsourced space appears meant to replace X’s actual team of people employed to ensure election integrity, which Musk said he disbanded last year. But the channel has already been filled with misinformation.

    Wow, it was a genuine election integrity team they’ve doublespeaked into a targeted election conspiracy accelerator. Real “deputize the criminals” energy.

      No chance…

      Him shutting up, would be a pretty good decision.

      He’s also too deep into Trump, this is no “funding both parties” thing anymore.

      He’s really counting on that position if Trump wins, then Elon would really control everything.

      It absolutely has something to do with integrity! Maintaining it just happened to not be the goal.
