Elon Musk’s misleading election claims have accrued 1.2 billion views on X, new analysis says

False or misleading claims about the U.S. election posted this year to X by Elon Musk have generated nearly 1.2 billion views on the social media platform, according to an analysis published Thursday by the nonprofit organization Center for Countering Digital Hate. 

Researchers from the center said they identified 50 instances this year when Musk posted election claims that have been debunked by independent fact-checkers but spread widely on the app anyway.
