A scaled up Birdwatch [1], or some other system, with the ability to find truths, could be incredible. Trust in media is, rightfully, near all time lows [2].

What about Musk's actions make you think he is interested in promoting truth in media?

His attempt at pay-for checks, and the layoffs, show he's very interested in making/losing less money. I was highlighting a potential path to attract users, and not (potentially) scare advertisers, which would align with that goal.

I don't think a rational person would try to make any long term conclusions from less than a month of new ownership.
