Musk would likely point to Birdwatch/Community Notes as a source for that context. As we've seen, though, falsehoods (noise) often propagate faster and more virally than truth (signal) on online platforms. Lots of people have spent their whole careers untangling this problem! — PolitiTweet.org

Musk's signal-to-noise remark is especially revealing, IMO. He said: "Truth is signal and falsehood is noise. And we want to improve the signal-to-noise ratio as much as possible.” But in info ops, it's rarely this black-and-white! Misinfo can be based in truth but omit context. — PolitiTweet.org

I can watch a soccer game and go "yes, you see, the hard part is for one team to score more goals than the other team." That's not the same as knowing what specifically to do to get the ball downfield and past the keeper. — PolitiTweet.org
