X owner Elon Musk recently endorsed Trump and reportedly donated significantly to his campaign. The endorsement has further fueled debate on the platform, with users voicing their doubts and theories about the “reality of the shooting” despite a lack of evidence.
Unlike other major social networks that focus on fact-checking, X allowed these conspiracies to circulate in trending topics. The media wrote that YouTube directs users to trusted news sources, but X’s behavior in this case underscores its desire to maintain “open dialogue,” even when it includes controversial or unverified information.
The social network did not respond to requests for comment but continues to position itself as a global discussion forum.
