Finance Association News on November 5th (Editor Huang Junzhi) The latest report released by the non-profit organization Center for Countering Digital Hate shows that billionaire Elon Musk's false or misleading statements about the US election have reached 2 billion views on the social media platform X.

The organization's election and false information expert stated on Monday that X platform also plays a central role in spreading false information about key battleground states, which may determine the outcome of the presidential election.

According to the organization's report, out of all the posts Musk made this year, at least 87 promoted false or misleading statements about the US election as fact-checked by experts. These posts have accumulated 2 billion views.

The organization's statistics show that since Musk publicly supported Trump in July this year, the cumulative views of his political posts have reached 17.1 billion. This is more than double the total views of US political campaign ads during the same period disclosed by X. Since Musk took over X, he has reduced content moderation and dismissed thousands of employees.

It is reported that Musk's false or misleading posts include claims like the undocumented immigrant population in swing states increasing by 'three digits' over the past four years. In addition, he has also posted content questioning the 'fairness of voting.'

Carnegie Mellon University computer science professor and false information expert Kathleen Carley stated that Musk has nearly 0.203 billion followers, which helps achieve 'network effects,' meaning content on X can jump to other social media and messaging platforms like Reddit and Telegram.

"X is a channel from one platform to another," she said.

Platform users are also 'causing chaos'.

Currently, U.S. government officials and voting rights advocates have issued warnings about election-related misinformation, urging social media platforms including X to take action to remove any false information about voting.

However, in contrast, some analysis points out that CEO Musk is leading the spread of false information, while other users are also 'causing chaos'.

Non-profit organization Common Cause's executive director in Pennsylvania, Philip Hensley-Robin, stated on Monday that in Pennsylvania, one of the seven key swing states, some X users seized upon incomplete voter registration forms marked by local election officials, incorrectly citing these incidents as examples of election interference.

Common Cause is a nonpartisan organization dedicated to promoting government accountability and voting rights and has branches in 35 states in the USA.

Hensley-Robin said, some X users imply 'voter fraud', when in fact, we know very clearly that election officials and administrators in all our counties adhere to the rules, so that only eligible voters can vote.

Additionally, Cyabra is a company that uses artificial intelligence to detect network misinformation. The company stated on Monday that an X account with 0.117 million followers played a key role in helping spread a false video claiming Trump's mail-in ballots in Pennsylvania were being destroyed.

An X spokesperson stated that the platform has taken action against many accounts sharing the video.
