Summary
People scrolling X on Monday reported seeing an April 6 post from Ronan Farrow, a coauthor on the New Yorker article, promoting the investigation. Musk also reposted Farrow’s story on Monday from his account. X and OpenAI did not immediately respond to a request for comment from WIRED. The boosted Farrow post didn’t come with an “ad” label in people’s feeds on Monday, but users who clicked on a post options menu were shown choices such as “report ad.” On an FAQ page for X’s Boost feature, the company says that “boosted posts must also self-identify as an advertisement and comply with X’s ad policies.”
