LATEST FACT-CHECKS
Recently verified claims, sorted by date
“X now has more daily active users than Instagram. The platform has never been stronger.”
Third-party analytics consistently show X's DAU at approximately 250M vs Instagram's 2B+ DAU.
“Neuralink just received FDA approval for our second-generation implant. Patients will be able to control robotic limbs with their thoughts by next year.”
FDA granted approval for expanded trial, not commercial deployment. Robotic limb control timeline is speculative.
“Tesla Robotaxi will be fully operational in Austin by June 2026. No safety driver needed. This is real autonomy.”
Tesla has not demonstrated Level 4 autonomy in any public setting. Austin pilot still uses safety drivers.

Independent audits show DOGE savings are approximately $12 billion, not $1 trillion. Many 'savings' are reclassified spending, not actual cuts.
