Elon Musk called out Vice President Kamala Harris Monday for “lying” about former President Donald Trump’s abortion stance, while proclaiming that the social media platform’s “community notes” feature keeps politicians accountable when trying to spread falsehoods about their opponents.
Harris said Sunday on her X account that Trump “would ban abortion nationwide” and that she and President Biden will do “everything” in their “power to stop him and restore women’s reproductive freedom.”
Her post was then flagged by a community note stating that “President Trump has repeatedly said he will not sign a national abortion ban.”
“When will politicians, or at least the intern who runs their account, learn that lying on this platform doesn’t work anymore?” Musk responded in an X post of his own.
Trump has indeed said he will not enact a national abortion ban, despite calls for it from some Republicans, and would leave regulation of the procedure up to the states.
“I put three great Supreme Court justices on the court and they happened to vote in favor of killing Roe v. Wade, and moving it back to the states,” the former president said at the first debate with Biden on Thursday. “Now the states are working it out.”
