News India Live, Digital Desk: Us Official: It is said that one should think a hundred times before writing anything on social media. Otherwise, when your point is overwhelming on you, it cannot be said. Something similar happened with Peter Navaro, an advisor to former US President Donald Trump. He made a controversial statement about India and Russia, but then he was so upset on Allen Musk’s social media platform X (first Twitter) that he was shocked.
What did Navaro say?
Peter Navaro, who has recently come out of jail, wrote in a post on X that “India and Russia cannot be friends of America, as these two countries are part of ‘BRICS’.” He claimed that the BRICS countries are trying to dominate the world. In straightforward language, he was trying to call India and Russia the enemies of America.
X’s ‘community notes’ opened the poll
Now came the real fun in the story. As soon as Navaro posted this, a special feature of X did ‘Community notes’. Let me tell you that this is a system of X where only common users can tell its truth under some wrong or misleading information.
Users also added fact-check under Navaro’s post. He told that, “Navaro sir, you are saying wrong. BRICS is not a military alliance, rather it is a group made for mutual trade and development. And yes, this group also includes countries like Brazil and South Africa, which are considered good friends of America.”
Just what then! This fact-check fired the claim of Navaro’s claim and his point in front of the world proved to be false.
Alan erupted on Alan Musk
Seeing his talk to be such wrong, Peter Navaro got badly stung. He called this fact-checking feature “Crape Note”. His anger did not calm down here, he directly targeted Allen Musk.
He said that Musk should focus on such things and should stop this system that suppresses the voice of people like him. However, the truth is that Alan Musk himself does not control ‘community notes’, but it is a transparent system run by users.
This whole incident once again proved that now it has not been as easy to spread concocted things on social media, sometimes the public shows you a mirror.
