It's Happening! Elon's Twitter Just Fact-Checked Joe Biden's Official Presidential Account
PJMedia ^ | OCTOBER 29, 2022 | BY MEGAN FOX

A few moments ago, less than 24 hours after Elon Musk took over as Chief Twit of Twitter, a fact-check has been placed on one of Joe Biden’s @POTUS tweets because… he’s lying. Biden tweeted, “Let me give you the facts. In 2020, 55 corporations made $40 billion. And they paid zero in federal taxes. My Inflation Reduction Act puts an end to this.”

Not so fast, homie. Twitter took the opportunity to add context that said, “Out of the 55 corporations the tweet referenced only 14 had earnings greater than $1 billion and would be eligible under Biden’s tax law.” LOL

Twitter also linked Glen Kessler’s fact-check of the claim in the Washington Post in which he concluded, “This ’55 corporations’ number is probably in the ballpark but readers should be aware that it’s not based on actual tax returns but instead is an estimate of taxes paid based on corporate reports.” Though Kessler could not bring himself to call it what it is — a lie — he had to admit that it’s not accurate.

I like this new Twitter. Well done, Elon!

Meh - I don’t twit or faceplant or use any social media beyond email and phone texting. IMO most of the folks who live on social media are insecure and have issues with their self worth hence need the constant ‘approval’.

Do your own research, read media other than your echo chamber and then make a decision and stick to it. IOW, grow a backbone.

The real Leftists will not be bothered at all by the lie. They will focus on the basic concept of punishing corporations.

"55? 14? What's the difference?!? Surely you think corporations should pay their fair share don't you??? Joe is making it happen! Donald Trump would never do this, which is how you know it's the right thing to do! I don't care is Joe misspoke -- he has a stutter, you know -- the important thing is that he's fighting for the Little Guy!"

Yes. They lie. Consumed with it really. Full of pretentious lying. They rewrite their own personal histories to make their sins palatable.

Biden lies almost every time he opens his mouth

Is it a lie if he's literally too stupid to know the difference?

the fact check fails to point out that regardless of profits, every corporation listed with employees pays a ton of federal employment taxes, and federal unemployment taxes.

Those seeking approval on social media, do indeed have mental issues.
That being said, I am on Facebook to keep up with family and friends back home (I am in Alaska). I also use FB News to help me do my research. As in, my news feed is filled with traditional media and a some other left-leaning feeds. It’s a good place to check and see what he other side is saying.
I had a few friends and family on Twitter, and having a Twit account can be another opposition research site.
If you aren’t doing opposition research, you’re failing yourself!

Trump has been invited back, but has said he will remain in Truth. Can’t blame him.
