Elon Musk was forced into deleting a tweet which recommended an anti-Semitic account and a promoter of debunked videos as reliable sources of information about the attack on Israel.

The owner of X, formerly Twitter, faced a furious backlash after telling his 159 million followers that the accounts @WarMonitors and @sentdefender were ‘good’ for ‘following the war in real time’.

Wish he’d let readers decide for themselves what’s fake, adding his own rebuttal. If he can delete their bad stuff at will, he can delete our good stuff.

Oh good grief, if it's fake and you buy in, that's on you. Always look for other sources to back it up. It's early in this conflict and some information released early will need to be sorted out.

Do not censor anything. Yes, bad actors exist, but educate this country to be discerning with critical thinking skills.

Quit telling people what they should believe, just figure out what you believe.

I wonder if Elon or the Yak will ban Khamenei's account??

Although the Iranian delegation at the United Nations in New York did not respond to the Journal’s request for comment, Iran’s supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, praised the attacks in a post on X, the app formerly known as Twitter.

Khamenei wrote, “Zionist regime will be eradicated at the hands of the Palestinian people and the Resistance forces throughout the region.”

I came across both sites yesterday while looking at livestreams. I didn’t know anything about either site they were just video of the news. I’m sure Musk recommended them before thoroughly checking them out. They are looking for every excuse to take Musk down.

You fell for the fake news about the Supreme leader.
The person was a general, not the Ayatollah.

If it’s an excuse, why did Musk delete his tweet?

“If he can delete their bad stuff at will...”

He edited his own tweet, he’s not deleting anyone’s “stuff”.

After he found out what those sites were about he apparently deleted his tweet. So what’s the problem?
