When Elon fact-checked Ted

That was when Rep. Lieu stepped in.

“Dear @davidzweig: The tweet you cite is in fact misleading. People of all ages at high risk from COVID generally benefit from vaccines,” the representative said in a tweet. “Prior natural immunity may last only a few months. COVID appears to be a leading cause of death for children.”

But Lieu deleted the tweet after Musk fact-checked him.

“The preprint you linked to has actually been re-written as a result of my critique because it is seriously flawed and inaccurate. You linked to the old version,” a public health fact checker said, and Musk responded.

“Ted is linking to misleading data,” the CEO said.
