Many people have reported this as a fake tweet. I don't have time to be the tweet police. What is everyone's thoughts about having a link to the actual tweet or other social media link?

Edit: Please stop reporting this. They may have re-posted this from somewhere else and didn't know or it might not be fake. I'm not going to x to find out. From now on, please provide an archived link to all politicians and major figures.

I'm for it. This is like the 15th fake Elon Musk tweet I've seen today

Yes, but an archived link so tweet cannot be deleted.

Good point, I'll change the sticky.

Why not remove it then?

I'm not the mod you're talking to, but I assume they aren't deleting it because OP posted it before providing a link was a rule, and it might not be a fake tweet. I mean it is fake, but I can't prove that.

Personally I'm in favor of mods erring on the side of not removing content if there's any uncertainty, even if it's a bit annoying seeing this fake tweet

It's misleading on the people Twitter sub. Fake Wikipedia articles hard to distinguish would be misleading on a Wikipedia sub

It really feels like you didn't actually read what I wrote

[–] ByteJunk@lemmy.world 11 points 6 months ago

This is the way.

Yeah bro just leave blatant disinfo up, it's okay when I don't like the guy in the fake photo.
