Environmental groups slammed Elon Musk’s X app in a report Wednesday ranking social media platforms on their approach to climate change misinformation.

X, formerly known as Twitter, ranked last because it’s not clear the app has policies against the spread of misleading information about climate change, according to Climate Action Against Disinformation, the creator of the score card. The group is a coalition of more than 50 environmental groups, ad agencies and other organizations.

Finding false climate information is relatively easy on X, with some of the platform’s large accounts posting that climate change is a “hoax” or spreading conspiracy theories about green energy projects. Musk himself has said erroneously that what happens aboveground has no impact on climate change.

The stakes are high, according to the coalition, because false information about climate change has stalled action, including further limits on fossil fuels.
