One person who is a fan of Meta’s decision to copy X’s Community Notes feature? X owner Elon Musk.
The world’s richest man, in an X post on Tuesday, applauded Meta’s plan to ditch its third-party fact checking operation. In its place, Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg said his company — which runs Facebook and Instagram — will opt for a program that closely resembles X’s Community Notes.
“This is awesome,” Musk posted, in response to Republican Sen. Rand Paul sharing a Fox News story on Meta’s sweeping changes.
Musk’s response came a few minutes after he said Meta’s decision was “cool.”
