Elon Musk's Controversial Plan to Incentivize Truth on X Sparks Confusion and Debate

Elon Musk has announced a plan to incentivize truth on X (formerly known as Twitter) by making posts corrected by the platform's fact-checking feature ineligible for revenue share. However, X users have raised concerns about the potential demonetization of posts that provide context or humor through community-sourced fact-checking. Musk has not confirmed whether more money will be rewarded to creators who avoid spreading misinformation, but he emphasized the goal of incentivizing truth. X has not yet updated its monetization standards to include this new policy, and it remains unclear if it will extend to other forms of monetization on the platform. The move comes as the European Union investigates X for its handling of Israel/Hamas disinformation.
