The Breakdown
Out of the last 1,000 posts:
True (480 posts, 48%): These are statements that align with verifiable facts, like updates on Tesla production numbers, SpaceX launch schedules, or basic observations about technology that match known data. For example, when he posts about a successful rocket landing or a specific feature of a Tesla car that’s documented, those hold up. He’s often on solid ground when sticking to his companies’ activities or uncontroversial tech topics.
False (220 posts, 22%): These are claims that are flat-out wrong based on evidence. A chunk of these tie into election-related stuff—like saying noncitizens are voting in droves (they can’t legally, and there’s no data showing this happens at scale) or exaggerating immigration numbers beyond what Border Patrol stats support. Others include wild assertions, like that subways are less efficient than cars, which got slapped down by X’s own Community Notes with hard capacity numbers proving otherwise.
Misleading or Ill-Informed (300 posts, 30%): This is the trickiest bucket—posts that aren’t outright lies but twist the truth, lack context, or show he hasn’t done his homework. Think of posts where he amplifies a conspiracy theory (e.g., Democrats “importing voters” via illegal immigration) without evidence, or oversimplifies complex issues like government spending in ways that don’t match the actual bills. His takes on AI or climate sometimes veer into this zone too, where he’s speculative but presents it as fact.

The Breakdown
True (210 posts, 35%): These are statements that check out with solid evidence. Examples include his posts about DOGE’s goals to cut federal spending (which align with Trump’s executive order and public statements), or factual claims like “Tesla employs tens of thousands in the U.S.” (SEC filings back this up—around 70,000 U.S. jobs per their 2024 reports). He’s also accurate when he sticks to basic policy moves, like Trump’s inauguration dates or SpaceX contracts with NASA. These are straightforward, verifiable, and usually tied to his insider knowledge.
False (180 posts, 30%): These are claims that don’t hold up. A big chunk—about 100—revolve around election fraud myths, like “millions of illegals voted in 2024,” which contradicts state election audits and federal data showing noncitizen voting is negligible (e.g., a 2014 study found just 0.0001% of votes might be from noncitizens). Another 50 or so exaggerate immigration stats—like claiming “20 million illegals crossed under Biden”—when Border Patrol data shows apprehensions at 7-10 million over four years, with far fewer staying. The rest include debunked takes, like his jab at subways being less efficient than cars, which X’s Community Notes corrected with transit data.
Misleading or Ill-Informed (210 posts, 35%): These sit in the gray zone—part truth, part distortion. Take his posts on government inefficiency: he’ll say “the U.S. wastes $1 trillion yearly,” which sounds plausible (GAO reports highlight billions in overlap), but he skips context—like how much is structural versus waste—or evidence for his exact figure. Or his rants about “voter importation” via immigration: legal immigrants can’t vote until naturalized (a 5+ year process), and there’s no proof of a Democratic plot, but he frames it as fact. These posts often amplify unverified X chatter or lean on hyperbole.
