The billionaire entrepreneur isn’t buying it, citing his vast number of Twitter followers as a counterargument. Polls by groups including Morning Consult found a steep drop in the number of Americans with a favorable view of Tesla, falling to just 13.4% of adults this month, compared with 28.4% in January 2022. Musk brushed off such findings when questioned about them during Tesla’s fourth-quarter results call on Wednesday. “I've got 127 million (Twitter) followers. It continues to grow very rapidly. That suggests I’m reasonably popular. I might not be popular with some people, but for the vast majority of people my follower count speaks for itself,” he said. “I’m the most interactive social media account, I think, maybe in the world, certainly on Twitter. And that actually predated the Twitter acquisition. … I think Twitter is actually an incredibly powerful tool for driving demand for Tesla.” His comments came after the electric-car maker reported $24.3 billion in revenue

OK, so I've got 127 million followers, and it continues to grow very rapidly," Musk said. "That suggests that I'm reasonably popular.

Elon Musk’s Twitter has complied with an Indian government request to delete all links to a BBC documentary critical of Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, according to journalists and free speech advocates in the country.  The first half of the two-part documentary India: The Modi Question aired on BBC Two on Jan. 17. The series investigates the “persistent allegations” against Modi of fanning the flames of Hindu nationalism and prejudice against India’s large Muslim minority. In particular, the doc explores his role in the 2002 riots in the western Indian state of Gujarat, where Modi was chief minister at the time, which left over 1,000 dead, the majority of them Muslims.  India’s Ministry of External Affairs spokesman Arindam Bagchi has called the documentary “a propaganda piece designed to push a particular discredited narrative.”  In response, the BBC shared statements on social media saying that the film was “rigorously researched according to the highest editorial standards.” Although the doc has not been aired within India, Kanchan Gupta, a senior adviser in the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting, said Tuesday that Musk’s Twitter and Alphabet’s YouTube were ordered by the Indian government to block all links to the film within the country.

Thearon W. Henderson/Getty ImagesThe Dallas Cowboys fell to the San Francisco 49ers 19-12 in the NFC Divisional Round on Sunday at Levi's Stadium behind an abysmal performance from veteran quarterback Dak Prescott.Prescott completed 23 of 37 passes for 206 yards and one touchdown against two interceptions. He also rushed for 22 yards on four carries. The 49ers got six points—two field goals—off Prescott's two interceptions.The loss of running back Tony Pollard to an ankle injury just before halftime certainly didn't help the offense, but much of the blame for Dallas' latest postseason blunder has been placed on Prescott, who has won just two playoff games in his seven-year career:Cory Smith @CoryNBCReally hate to say it, because by all accounts he's a good dude. BUT Dak ain't the guy.Zach Gelb @ZachGelbDak once again showed there is a big difference in being a good QB and a great QB. Paid like a great one but doesn't play like one.Jeff Caves @JeffCavesDak Dak Dak. Biggest game and not his biggest and best performance. Unless a miracle happens here , he will be focus of what needs to change.Michael Lozano Jr. @michael_lozDak is an average QB. Another year, another waste of potential. So tired

Twitter continues to expand its Community Notes feature, which Twitter chief Elon Musk believes will be a key element in establishing the platform’s new ‘Trust as a Service’ approach, and see Twitter become a more critical provider of truth in news and information. Which is a noble aim, but how that actually plays out remains to be seen. The latest expansion sees Community Notes moving abroad, with users in more regions now able to apply to add notes to contextual notes and reference links to questionable claims in tweets.

New check marks on Elon Musk’s Twitter verifying the accounts of Taliban leaders have vanished following “outrage” over the “Twitter Blue” policy, according to media reports.The check marks began disappearing after a story early this week by the BBC reporting that the Taliban was paying for the verification under Musk’s new scheme to make money.It was unclear if the check marks were removed by Twitter, or by the Taliban, because of the ensuing controversy, reported Business Insider.The check marks are supposed to verify the identities of those with Twitter profiles (though counterfeit profiles have also been mistakenly “verified”).Before Musk purchased Twitter last October for $44 billion, the blue ticks indicated “active, notable, and authentic accounts of public interest” verified by Twitter, and could not be purchased.But now subscribers to Musk’s new Twitter Blue system — which costs $8 a month — benefit from “priority ranking in search, mentions and replies,” according to the social media platform.soon, subscribers with the blue checkmark will get priority ranking in search, mentions, and replies to help lower the visibility of scams, spam and bots— Twitter Blue (@TwitterBlue) December 12, 2022As of early last week two Taliban officials, four prominent supporters in Afghanistan and other
