A screenshot claimed that Musk had told everyone to withdraw their coins from Binance, whose 80% market share was strangling the industry.
On November 7, the post went viral on X. About an hour later, CZ replied: “Fake,” and attached a fact-check from Grok—the post didn’t exist anywhere on Musk’s account. Musk himself then chimed in: “Yeah, I never wrote anything like that. This is made up.”
The timing was spot-on: Binance had just been hacked for about $6.3 billion on October 29, and people were already on edge. A screenshot claiming “Musk says to withdraw” was enough to make plenty of people’s hands tremble.
In the past, spreading rumors meant making up a story. Now AI can make even a screenshot’s layout look completely authentic. The cost of spreading rumors has hit rock bottom, while the cost of checking them falls entirely on everyone who comes across them.
When you see a screenshot like this, is your first instinct to believe it—or to look it up?
