Musk's misinformation gets 1.2B views on X

False or misleading US election claims posted on X by Elon Musk have amassed nearly 1.2 billion views this year, a watchdog said Thursday, highlighting the billionaire's potential influence on the highly polarized White House race. Ahead of the November election, researchers have flagged X, a hotbed of political misinformation, and Musk, who bought the platform in 2022 and is a vocal backer of Donald Trump, appears to be swaying voters by spreading falsehoods on his personal account.

Study says air travel has never been safer

Flying can be a nerve-wracking experience for many people, but a new study finds commercial air travel keeps getting safer, with the risk of death halving every decade. The fatality rate fell to 1 per every 13.7 million passenger boardings globally in the 2018-2022 period, a major improvement from 1 per 7.9 million boardings in 2008-2017, according to an MIT study. It's also a far cry from early commercial air travel: fatalities per passenger were 1 per 350,000 boardings in 1968-1977.
