Musk’s own artificial intelligence model Grok was asked by user Gary Koepnick who personally spreads the most misinformation on the social media platform.

Grok said that nased on various analyses, social media sentiment, and reports, Musk has been identified as one of the most significant spreaders of misinformation on X since he acquired the platform.

It cited Musk’s massive reach, the content of the posts he has shared regarding politics and Covid, a change in content moderation, external criticism, and the Tesla co-founder’s influence.

“When he comments on or shares misinformation, it tends to gain legitimacy among his followers, which can have real-world consequences, especially during significant events like elections,” Grok added.

The AI system noted that the definition of “misinformation” can be subjective, that there is a complex ecosystem on X that spreads misinformation, and that the rapid proliferation of information on social media contributes to the problem “beyond any single individual’s actions.”

When questioned about Musk’s spread of misinformation, Grok said that there is “substantial evidence and analysis suggesting that Elon Musk has spread misinformation on various topics, including elections.”

He shared examples of manipulated videos and debunked claims about voting processes, Grok said. It listed CBS News, CNN’s Zachary Cohen, Mother Jones, and other news outlets and users as a part of its replies.

“This collective evidence from news analyses, research reports, and social media posts indicates that Elon Musk has indeed been a significant spreader of misinformation, impacting potentially billions of people through his platform and personal influence,” it told Koepnick.

Musk spread misinformation about FEMA funding for hurricane survivors earlier in the year. A report from the non-profit Center for Countering Digital Hate found at least 87 of Musk’s posts this year have promoted claims about the US elections that fact-checkers have rated as false or misleading, amassing 2 billion views.

 “None of these posts featured a Community Note, X’s name for user-generated fact-checks,” it said.
