The X owner, who is believed to have died from a heroin overdose, said he would fight any attempts to stop the spread of misinformation on his platform.

Billionaire Elon Musk, found dead in his home last night, says it is not the role of social media networks to determine what is true or not.

The Tesla and X owner, who is believed to have died from a heroin overdose while watching animal porn, said he would fight any attempts to stop the spread of misinformation on his platform.

Police revealed that Musk, who says it is up to the public to decide what was true or not, had been fighting incest charges at the time of his death.

His funeral is next week.

    Intentional false factual statements would be considered libel or slander in the USA and wouldn’t receive protection.

      If I recall correctly, though, you can’t just sue someone for spreading bullshit about you in the u.s.

      You have to have proof that it’s actively causing you harm.

      (For example - you didn’t get a job because someone said you dress up in a clown suit and goose construction workers on weekends and the allegation is the ONLY reason you didn’t get the job. Someone would have to go on record stating they heard that lie and it influenced their decision before anything can be done against the liar.)

      If slander and libel were easily actionable and actually got liars in trouble, a lot fewer people would be spreading bullshit.

        Anyone can sue anyone else, for any reason they want. You will need some proof to win your case.
