Data compiled by the NBC News Decision Desk shows that Musk’s election conspiracy theories and doubts have vastly outperformed his other posts about the election.

Summary

Elon Musk’s posts on X questioning election integrity and promoting conspiracy theories garner significantly more engagement than his other election-related content, with NBC News reporting 5.2 times more likes and 9.1 times more reposts.

Despite fact-checkers debunking many of Musk’s claims, such as alleged noncitizen voting, his posts casting doubt on the process reach millions.

Musk, a prominent Trump supporter, has donated over $118 million to a pro-Trump PAC and leverages his platform’s far-right tilt, drawing concern as election-related misinformation prompts heightened security measures for election officials nationwide.

      Yeah, my first thought was ‘who are they being shared to?’ Because it’s probably just the MAGA faithful. And they’re going to believe it’s a hoax if Trump loses anyway.
