Have you seen claims online that U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, more commonly known as ICE, has been forced to shut down its tip line because 90% of the calls were about Elon Musk? The claim has gone viral on social media platforms like Instagram, TikTok, and X. But it’s completely fake.
While that office may be ready to go to work, the FAA itself is not fully on the job. That’s because it’s without an administrator. Michael Whitaker, who had led the administration since Oct., 2023, stepped down earlier this month,
“In study after study, as well as our lived experiences, X has become a platform that promotes hate, antisemitism, and societal division. Under the leadership of Elon Musk, X has reduced content moderation, promoted white supremacists, and re-platformed purveyors of conspiracy theories.”
NEW YORK (AP) — X is teaming up with Visa to soon offer a system for real-time payments on the social media platform — signaling some progress in a yearslong vision from billionaire owner Elon Musk to create an “everything app.”
Musk didn't ban Pride content. The post quoted an article generated by artificial intelligence, and no credible news reports support the claim.
Musk once dreamed of making X the “biggest financial institution in the world,” taking the first step of launching a peer-to-peer payments competitor to PayPal’s Venmo, Block’s Cash App and bank-owned Zelle.
The tech billionaire and top Trump ally visited the General Services Administration, which appears to be a key part of his crusade to cut the cost of government buildings.
X’s deal with Visa, the largest U.S. credit card network, was announced by CEO Linda Yaccarino and will be dubbed X Money Account.
The social media company said it would start a peer-to-peer payments service, moving to expand the app’s abilities.
US President Donald Trump did not announce during a speech on January 19 that he would lift bans on X in countries where the social media site is inaccessible, contrary to claims that repeatedly surfaced online in Pakistan.
Massive Monster of Cult of the Lamb fame announced that it will donate $1000 every month to a charity rather than use it on Twitter Gold.
