President Donald Trump’s billionaire ally Elon Musk used his outsize influence on X to help kill a bipartisan funding proposal that would have prevented a government shutdown, spreading multiple false claims in the process.
He is literally the king of misinformation and it’s largely why Tesla did so well early on. He would get on stage and lie about their progress and vision, and then do it again next quarter/year.
First lie on the list: 4,697 days since Elon Musk said Tesla will never need to raise capital again. Then a list of the many times since he said it that they needed to raise capital.
Very neat. Sadly doesnt keep track of all the political misinformation, which is understandable given how much he lies. Here was a report leading up to the election finding 7% of his 100 tweets a day were misinformation. I’m sure this will only continue as he gets more politically involved within US, Germany, and elsewhere.

I wish he’d just die already.
Someone is keeping track of the lies. There are a lot of them: https://elonmusk.today/
