Fact check: X is removing the Messages feature after a woman exposed Elon Musk offering to impregnate her for money.

1. Summary of the results

The original statement contains multiple unverified claims. While there are discussions about potential changes to X's messaging features, with an X engineer Zach Warunek confirming that "the whole entire DM's will be gone soon" ^[1], the claim about Elon Musk offering to impregnate a woman for money is not supported by any of the provided sources.

2. Missing context/alternative viewpoints

The sources reveal several important contextual elements missing from the original statement:

• X has been making multiple feature changes, including the announced removal of the blocking feature ^[2]
• These changes are happening amid broader policy shifts related to content moderation, hate speech, and child safety ^[3]
• The platform is facing EU regulatory challenges and potential legal issues ^[4]
• The removal of messaging features appears to be part of technical changes to the platform's system ^[5]
• These changes align with Musk's long-standing criticism of certain social networking features ^[6]

3. Potential misinformation/bias in the original statement

The original statement appears to contain significant misinformation:

• It conflates separate events: While discussions about removing DMs are real ^[1], it incorrectly attributes this to an unverified personal scandal
• It omits crucial context about broader platform changes and regulatory pressures
• The timing suggests potential agenda-driven narrative, as X has been removing various features including:
• The misinformation reporting feature ^[7]
• The blocking feature ^[2]
• Potentially DMs ^[1]

Those who might benefit from this narrative include:

• Competitors to X/Twitter who could capitalize on user concerns
• Critics of Elon Musk who might use this to question his leadership
• Privacy advocates who could use this to highlight concerns about platform changes
