Musk Slammed For Saying Twitter Is Seeking 'The Least Wrong Truth' With Community Notes Feature

Last December, Elon Musk-owned Twitter launched a Community Notes feature worldwide, enabling users to add notes to tweets that might be misleading.

Formerly known as Birdwatch, it is part of Musk's response to people questioning Twitter's moderation ability and trustworthiness. 

But a recent Tweet from Musk regarding Community Notes has received severe flak from the community. The tweet has also raised questions about its visibility and authenticity. 

Musk tweeted that the Community Notes feature intends to be fair and impartial and to fight for the truth and the whole truth. He said Twitter is "seeking only the least wrong truth."

The intent is for this site to be fair & impartial, favoring no party, seeking only the least wrong truth. https://t.co/DA38cflAIi

One Twitter user responded to him, saying there is nothing called the least wrong truth. Adding that, "There are only facts, and there’s bulls**t that people make up that you amplify."

Another user mentioned the phrase "least wrong truth," referencing George Orwell.

What is a "least wrong truth"?

What is this Orwellian doublespeak?

The site is infested with false and inaccurate information.

One of Musk's followers accused the Twitter CEO of endorsing supporters of President Donald Trump and his "Make America Great Again (MAGA)" slogan. 

Elon’s hustle is trying to get you to think he’s objective while also platforming every MAGA election-and-vaccine denier and that open/out-sourcing the accuracy/moderation of his $44 billion baby absolves him of responsibility for bias, but Twitter is Elon. This is a closed loop.

However, Last week, Musk clarified his position, saying that he is not part of MAGA and believes in the fairness of justice. 

I’m not part of MAGA, but I do believe in fairness of justice.

Chansley was falsely portrayed in the media as a violent criminal who tried to overthrow the state and who urged others to commit violence.

But here he is urging people to be peaceful and go home. And the other… https://t.co/XU8vISJaNy

Musk purchased Twitter for $44 billion and is under pressure to cut costs after making a deal in which he overpaid, according to some analysts.
