After claiming the Pacific Palisades Fire was so destructive due to "allowing fresh water to flow into the Pacific," Elon Musk met with local firefighters to bolster his claims, only to be corrected on livestream where a precise rate of flow and reservoir capacity were cited.

Video available on Reddit: reddit.com

Good news: Musk actually verifies the claims by talking with firefighters face-to-face.

Bad news: Musk was the one who spread the claims in the first place, so he ended up debunking himself.

While it's good that Musk eventually found out the truth, he's also guilty of setting the fires of disinformation across social media.

And those are the kinds of fires that are worse than even the literal kind ...
