Elon Musk Reveals New Deepfake Antidote on X, Community Shows Excitement

As a seasoned crypto investor with a keen interest in the latest developments within the industry, I’m thrilled to see Elon Musk’s recent announcement about X’s new tool to combat deepfake scams on their social media platform. This update comes at an opportune time, as the rise of deepfakes and misinformation has become a significant concern for many in the crypto community.


Elon Musk, who is both the CEO of Tesla and the new proprietor of Twitter (renamed X), has announced to the X and cryptocurrency circles that a more effective method for combating deepfake deceptions on Twitter has become available.

Musk made this comment while referencing a correction notice from the Community Notes feature on Tesla’s X app. This tool helps ensure post accuracy by alerting readers to potential misinformation or offering relevant updates.

The Community Notes feature has been upgraded with a new version, enhancing image recognition capabilities. This enhancement will allow the identification of more X posts (approximately 30% more) containing matching or identical images. Elon Musk expressed his approval, stating that “This upgrade is expected to significantly impact the fight against deepfakes and shallow fakes.”

As a researcher studying social media interactions related to cryptocurrencies, I observed an intriguing exchange between Elon Musk and the crypto community regarding his recent tweet. The response was overwhelmingly positive from X users, many expressing excitement about this new development and expressing gratitude towards Musk and the community. An XRP advocate, identified by the handle @XRPcryptowolf, playfully inquired when XRP payments might become accessible on X.

According to a previous report from U.Today, validator “Vet” on the XRPL network has refuted allegations that XRP transactions were being piloted on the platform. Nonetheless, Ripple intends to roll out its internal payment system by the end of this year.

The Dogecoin enthusiasts are optimistic that Musk, being a known supporter of DOGE, will eventually incorporate the meme currency as a payment method, despite the absence of any confirmed announcements from him so far. On the contrary, Musk has made it clear in his tweets that X will not be introducing a new cryptocurrency named “Xcoin”.
