Elon Musk has objected to an article by The Associated Press alleging that “false claims of a stolen election thrive unchecked on Twitter” even though Musk promised that tweets making such claims would be “corrected,” with the Twitter chief calling on the media outlet to back up its assertion with data or retract the piece.

The article, published by AP on May 18, cites an interview earlier in the week on CNBC in which Musk pledged that users making false claims of stolen elections on Twitter “will be corrected, 100 percent.”
