Elon Musk wonât stand for lying on X, the social media platform â formerly Twitter â he owns, even if you are the vice president.
Musk took to task a post by Vice President Kamala Harris and accused her of âlyingâ about former President Donald Trumpâs view on a national abortion ban, Fox News reported.Â
The feud started when Harris posted on X, âDonald Trump would ban abortion nationwide.â
âPresident @JoeBiden and I will do everything in our power to stop him and restore womenâs reproductive freedom,â she wrote on June 30.
Readers immediately hit back with post on Community Notes. This is a way for readers to refute posts that are viewed as wrong or false.
Readers posted from a multitude of media outlets, including Trumpâs own Truth Social, which allegedly proved Harrisâ statement wrong.
Musk shot back, writing on July 1, âWhen will politicians, or at least the intern who runs their account, learn that lying on this platform doesnât work anymore?â
Trump has been vocal about his stance on abortion, saying the power should be left to the states.
During Thursdayâs Presidential Debate, Trump reiterated his stance on abortion and giving the states the power to decide and the newly approved abortion pill.
âFirst of all, the Supreme Court just approved the abortion pill (mifepristone) and I agree with their decision to have done that, and I will not block it,â Trump said.
Trump lauded the Supreme Courtâs decision to overturn Roe v. Wade in 2022. This decision gave the states the power to decide the legality of abortions.
âI put three great Supreme Court justices on the court and they happened to vote in favor of killing Roe v. Wade and moving it back to the states. This is something that everybody wanted,â Trump said. âNow the states are working it out.â
Trump said the states are âmaking their own decisions right now and right now the states control it.â
âThatâs the vote of the people.â
Trump added he believes in abortion ban exceptions âfor rape, incest and the life of the mother,â per PBS.
âI believe in the exceptions. I am a person that believes, and frankly, I think it is important to believe in the exceptions,â Trump said, per Fox. âSome people, you have to follow your heart, some people donât believe in that.â
