A post shared on Facebook purports Twitter and Tesla CEO Elon Musk announced a campaign for the 2024 presidential election.

Verdict: False

Musk has not publicly announced a campaign for federal office. He is also unable to run for president since he is not a natural-born citizen.

Fact Check:

Musk recently said he would step down as Twitter CEO once a successor had been announced, CNN reported. The platform also announced it would “relax” policies on “caused-based” advertising, which centers around political and social issues, according to Gizmodo.
