'Lying on X doesn't work...': Elon Musk shares screenshots of Kamala Harris posts on Trump
NEW DELHI: Elon Musk, the owner of social media platform X, criticised US vice president Kamala Harris on Monday for allegedly misrepresenting former President Donald Trump's stance on a national abortion ban.
Harris had posted on X, claiming that Trump, who is running against Joe Biden in the upcoming US presidential election, 'would ban abortion nationwide.' She added that she and Biden would do 'everything in their power to stop him and restore women's reproductive freedom.'
Her post was flagged by X's community note, a fact-checking feature that provides context to potentially misleading posts.
The community note stated, "President Trump has repeatedly said he will not sign a national abortion ban."

Musk responded to Harris's post and said, "When will politicians, or at least the intern who runs their account, learn that lying on this platform doesn't work anymore?" Musk included a screenshot of Harris's post with the community note attached.
Further emphasising his point, Musk commented beneath her post, 'Trump has clearly said he would not do so' during the US Presidential debate with Biden last week.
