“The lies (of Musk) exposed by the firefighters,” replied Gavin Newsom on Sunday evening in a message on X accompanied by a video of the tycoon asking a firefighter why there was a problem with the water supply.
The latter replied that this was not the case and that there was water in “several tanks”.
Gavin Newsom also accused the richest man in the world of “encouraging looting with his lies” after he relayed on X a post falsely claiming that the governor of California and his Democratic colleagues had “decriminalized looting “.
After the takeover of Twitter – now X – in 2022 by Elon Musk, whose personal account is followed by 212 million people, the platform was accused by many media and users of spreading false information and of not allocating enough means to moderate exchanges.
