Elon Musk is not happy with Community Notes, the crowdsourced fact-checking program that adds notes to correct misinformation on his social media platform X. And the billionaire says he’s now going to “fix” Community Notes so that it agrees with him, claiming without evidence that it’s being manipulated by governments and the media.

But Thursday morning, CPAC host Mercedes Schlapp had a surprise for the crowd. There would be an even bigger speaker: tech billionaire Elon Musk, who has been ripping apart the federal government in his powerful White House role.

Trump confidant and tech billionaire Elon Musk openly supports the German far-right AfD party and continues to spread false and misleading claims about elections on his platform X.

Musk won AfD a massive new audience, and JD Vance added support. That brought the party outsized attention, but the impact in Germany was limited, data shows.

Only one person understands the attention war better than President Donald Trump and that’s Elon Musk. But is the attention good or bad? Does it redound to his benefit or hurt his reputation? Does it embolden or embarrass him?
