Tesla CEO and X social media platform Elon Musk responded to the senior counselor for trade and manufacturing to U.S. president, Peter Navarro, who had earlier criticized India on X for buying Russian oil, claiming it’s purely for profit and funds Russia’s war in Ukraine.

However, a Community Note (on X, Community Notes use open-source data and code to fact-check posts impartially—anyone can contribute) corrected this, stating the purchases are for energy security, don’t violate sanctions, and noted US hypocrisy as it imports Russian goods too.

Musk while correcting Navarro wrote: “On this platform, the people decide the narrative. You hear all sides of an argument. Community Notes corrects everyone, no exceptions. Notes data & code is public source. Grok provides further fact-checking”

Navarro called the note “crap” and accused Elon Musk of allowing propaganda.
