Elon Musk publicly criticized X's Community Notes system for contradicting claims that Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky is widely unpopular and afraid to hold elections.
In a post on Tuesday, Musk accused Community Notes—the fact checking feature he added to his platform—of being "gamed by governments & legacy media." The accusation came after a note challenged the assertion that Zelensky's approval rating was just 4%, citing independent polling that showed significantly higher support. Musk went on to claim that Zelensky had "seized control of ALL Ukrainian media" and was refusing to hold elections because he knew he would lose "in a landslide."
