"Musk's massive X following makes his amplification of false information especially significant. With 199 million followers, Musk has 22 times the number of followers as the official White House account, nine times more than The Wall Street Journal, three times more than The New York Times, and twice as many as pop star Taylor Swift.
A closer look: We reviewed more than 4,000 of Musk's posts from Jan. 1, 2024, to June 30, 2024, to see which accounts he interacted with most frequently. Interactions include when Musk posts a link, quotes a post, responds to a post, or reposts.
Here are the top five accounts that Musk engaged with over this six-month period, according to NewsGuard's review:
1. @EndWokeness (220 Musk interactions), a conservative commentator, has spread nine false claims, including that Haitian migrants are stealing and eating pets in Springfield, Ohio, and that the body of a five-month-old Palestinian baby killed in the Israel-Hamas war was actually a silicone doll.
Musk engaged with this account more than once per day, on average, during the six-month period."
