Karine Jean-Pierre on Musk Interviewing Trump on Twitter: It Is Incredibly Important To Call that Out

Reporter: “Elon Musk is slated to interview Donald Trump tonight on X. I don’t know if the president is gonna do it. Feel free to say if he is or not. But I — I think that misinformation on Twitter is not just a campaign issue, it’s an America issue. What role does the White House or the president have in sort of stopping that or stopping the spread of that, or sort of intervening in that? Some of that was about campaign disinformation, but it’s a wider thing, right?”
Jean-Pierre: “Yeah, no, you’ve heard us talk about this many times from here, about the responsibilities that social media platforms have when it comes misinformation, disinformation. Don’t have anything to read out from here about specific ways that we’re working on it, but we believe that, that they have the responsibility. These are private companies, so we’re also mindful of that too. But, look, it is — I think it is incredibly important to call that out, as you’re doing. I just don’t have any specifics on — on what we have been doing internally.”
