Musk appeared to get into the spirit of Independence Day by sharing a fake Tweet depicting “Twitter in 1775” where iconic American historical figure Paul Revere was fact-checked by Twitter 因为说, “The British are coming, the British are coming!” The fake tweet depicted a misinformation label reading, “Learn how British taxes are beneficial for society.”
Revere is most remembered for his famous ride from Boston the night of April 18, 1775, warning local militia of approaching British forces who had intended to destroy military supplies in Concord. The following morning, 在四月 19, the Battles of Lexington and Concord took place and the Revolutionary War began.
