I’m a technology reporter and founder of Paleofuture.com, a website I started in 2007 that looks at past visions of the future, from flying cars and jetpacks to utopias and dystopias. Paleofuture was formerly hosted at Smithsonian magazine (2011-2013) and Gizmodo (2013-2020).
SpaceX CEO Elon Musk with one of his son walks on the pit lane after the 2023 United States FormulaOne Grand Prix at the Circuit of the Americas in Austin, Texas, on October 22, 2023. Users on X who spread information that’s later corrected by Community Notes, the crowdsourced program of fact-checkers, won’t be paid for engagement on those tweets, according to an announcement Sunday by owner Elon Musk.
X has always struggled with misinformation and disinformation, long before Musk took over control of the site. But Musk’s changes to the social media platform have accelerated the spread of bad information because they set up financial incentives for people to spread sensationalistic and just plain wrong info.
“This post contains blatant lies about the atrocities committed by Hamas on October 7.
