ELON: COMMUNITY NOTES ARE THE MOST POWERFUL WEAPON FOR COMBATING DISINFORMATION Elon Musk: “Now that we have community notes, which, while it's not perfect, I think, it's the best fact-checking that I've seen on the internet. And so, if someone were to post false information, they can be community-noted.... No fact-checking system is perfect. If perfection is the standard, you can just basically dispense with all fact-checking, because nothing will be perfect. My observation of community notes is that the batting average, the probability that the note is correct is very high, much better than anything else that I've seen on the internet. And everything in community notes, the code, the data, everything is open source, so you can independently recreate the outcome of any note as a third party. I think that having the community notes capability is very powerful; it's the most powerful weapon that is actually combating disinformation.”show more

@elonmusk This

@elonmusk These two

@elonmusk I disagree entirely. It was ok for a little while but then it was taken over by leftists, many of whom are known paid propagandists for the democrats. People like the Krassenstein brothers have badges for writing so many community notes and they are 100% paid propagandists

@elonmusk We need a system where people who constantly post bad notes no longer have writing privileges.

I couldn't agree more! Community Notes is the best tool to combat disinformation. Especially with the "Request Community Note" feature, everyone can help make a difference!

@elonmusk I see community notes as a peer review system. It’s better than being absolutely gaslit by folks… But it still has some flaws. I’ve seen community notes get away with making folks see past the sale. That said, it’s 100 times more reliable than fact checkers.

@elonmusk If they are not abused for political purposes like Ed did.

@elonmusk Elon’s onto something! Community notes might not be perfect, but they’re a hell of a lot better than the corporate fact-checking circus. Let’s see the mob try to silence that! 💪🛡️

@elonmusk While I like that you always include the SOURCE of the CN, it is that source that is the problem. We have way too many MSM sources, that includes the written MSM universities and businesses. They are tainted with the far left ideology.

@elonmusk If Community Notes is not perfect then why can't we post a counter comment to it? Debate is the real revealer of truth.
