Currently, the fact-checking feature is only available for select users to flag fake or misleading images and text.

According to the Wall Street Journal, Musk tapped SpaceX “for a $1 billion loan around the time he was acquiring the social-media company formerly known as Twitter”.

X CEO Linda Yaccarino also said that video streaming is up significantly compared to last year, as Musk aims to make his platform “the everything app”.

When writer-entrepreneur Brian Krassenstein posted that X has to make the option to only allow for blue checkmarks to participate in polls, Musk said it is coming soon. “We’re changing polls to allow votes only by verified users. That’s critical to avoid polls getting bot-spammed on controversial issues,” the billionaire said.

The hacking group, called Anonymous Sudan, attacked X and took it offline in more than a dozen countries, reports the BBC.

Musk reacted after reports emerged that the Department of Justice (DoJ) and the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) are investigating the use of Tesla funds to bankroll a secret project -- known internally at Tesla as ‘Project 42’ -- for Musk to build a “glass house” for him in Texas.

The tech billionaire reacted after X updated its privacy policy, seeking permission from users to start collecting their biometric data and employment history.

The social media network has updated its privacy policy to include carveouts for “biometric information” and “employment history”. “Based on your consent, we may collect and use your biometric information for safety, security, and identification purposes,” reads the updated privacy policy reads. 

"Video & audio calls coming to X - Works on iOS, Android, Mac & PC - No phone number needed - X is the effective global address book," Musk posted on X.

Recently, Musk performed a test drive of a Model 3 vehicle with the full self-driving software (FSD) beta V12 version, which was live-streamed on X (formerly Twitter) and received millions of views.
