One of the more useful functions on the social media site X (formerly known as Twitter) is its community notes feature, in which intrepid readers add context to some disingenuous post from a politician or online influencer. For instance, California Gov. Gavin Newsom recently posted a 60-second video explaining to Californians the reason for our sky-high gas prices, which he pinned on price gouging.
"Don't buy the scare tactics from Big Oil. California's clean air policies aren't the problem—greed is," according to the video posted by the governor's office. His main evidence: Oil company profits hit record highs as California gas prices soared.
