On this platform, the people decide the narrative.

You hear all sides of an argument.

Community Notes corrects everyone, no exceptions. Notes data & code is public source.

Navarro called the community note on his X post as “crap” and alleged that Elon Musk is allowing the propaganda while reiterating his claim that “India buys Russia oil solely to profiteer. It didn’t buy any before Russia invaded Ukraine.”

Musk, in a response to Navarro, said on X, “On this platform, the people decide the narrative. You hear all sides of an argument. Community Notes corrects everyone, no exceptions. Notes data & code is public source. Grok provides further fact-checking.”

Musk also reshared a post which claimed that X has emerged as the news platform which is in real time and can be fact-checked. The tech billionaire claimed that legacy news has lost credibility, stating “As recent events have shown all too clearly, you can’t trust the legacy (fka mainstream) news at all. They lie relentlessly or simply ignore major stories that don’t fit their collectively decided narrative.”
