Elon Musk says posts hosted by Community Notes don’t get a share of revenue.

Elon Musk said posts edited by X's community-based fact-checking feature to curb misinformation and sensationalism “are not eligible for revenue share.”

In an Oct. 29 X post, the executive chairman said that misleading or inaccurate posts “corrected” by community notes — X's crowded reality checkers — won't be eligible for a revenue share.

Musk said the change would “increase the incentive for accuracy over sensitivity” and that any testing of the weapon would be “immediately obvious” because the data is open.

Making small changes to creative monetization:

Posts edited by @CommunityNotes will be eligible for revenue share.

The idea is to maximize the incentive for accuracy over sensitivity.

With little information to go on, X users and Crypto Twitter researchers have questioned aspects of the change.

“Includes notes added for context [of] A user's claim instead of correcting false information?” asked one user. Crypto-focused account Bitcoin Archive said some notes add more context and not all are “rebuttals or corrections.”

Not all community notes are disclaimers or corrections.

Some add more context.

Jerome Powell of finance-focused X-Tag says community notes are being used in a “funny way” or that notes that provide context “should be ostracized.”

But others supported the change. Dogecoin co-inventor Billy Marcus wrote: “Note those who strongly disagree with this.”

X did not share the number of accounts eligible for monetization, nor the 100,000 contributors in 44 countries, X CEO Linda Yacarino said on Oct. 26.
