The article also mentioned that Mr. Musk pledged to fund STEM education and innovation programs for young people.
The comment section of the post included a link to an online article titled “Elon Musk signs $13.5 million contract with Netflix – shocking fans with commitment to fund innovation for young people”.
After verification, experts at Lead Stories confirmed on September 3 that this information is not true. There is no evidence that billionaire Musk had such an agreement with Netflix.
Lead Stories ran the entire article by “The Daily Scope” on the AI recognition tool JustDone AI, with the conclusion that this content is 88% the product of artificial intelligence (AI).
