"It's one of his first interviews since he bought Twitter," says a BBC newscaster in a video posted June 14 on Facebook. An image of the owner of the social media platform, Elon Musk, appears behind her. The video then cuts to footage of Musk, wearing headphones and speaking into a microphone. The word "BitSoft360" appears in the upper left corner.
โLately, I launched an AI cryptocurrency trading platform called BitSoft360 AI,โ Musk seems to say in the shorten. "With the software, you invest just $300 and earn up to $5,000 every day. So I encourage everyone to join me. Click on this video to learn more about this unique opportunity.
This post was flagged as part of Meta's efforts to combat fake news and misinformation in their News Feed. (Read more about our association with Metaowner of Facebook and Instagram).
The clip in the video is not post-Twittering Musk in 2022. Rather, it comes from a 2018 appearance Musk did on "The Joe Rogan Experience" podcast.
Musk did not mention BitSoft or cryptocurrency during the interview.
We found no evidence that Musk is affiliated with something called BitSoft or BitSoft360. When we clicked on the video, as Musk seems to suggest in the clip, the link leads to a Web page posing as the website of the British tabloid The Sun. But the website gives it away: something called a hongfahk, a URL that includes references to women's T-shirts and a "king of the gym."
We rate this post as False.
