I’m a technology reporter and founder of Paleofuture.com, a website I started in 2007 that looks at past visions of the future, from flying cars and jetpacks to utopias and dystopias. Paleofuture was formerly hosted at Smithsonian magazine (2011-2013) and Gizmodo (2013-2020).
Remember last month when conspiracy theorists insisted John Fetterman, the U.S. senator from Pennsylvania, had been secretly replaced by a? The ridiculous claim went viral on X, thanks to radical changes made by owner Elon Musk, who bought the platform back when it was known as Twitter. Now a similar claim is currently going viral about Joe Biden. And Twitter’s algorithm is making sure it’s front and center for users of the site.
“They've been pretty good up until now making sure he never spends too long in a hot room so the mask will start coming off of his chin. Here the mask is starting to coming loose, it is visible and you can see the bulging in the chin area,” right-wing political commentator Brian CatesObviously that’s an absurd idea that previously would’ve gotten very little attention on social media outside of extremist circles. But that tweet has been seen by over 2.
And to top it all off, Musk has prioritized blue checkmark accounts in the X algorithm, which means people who post conspiracy theories are getting pushed into the “For You” feeds of countless other people on the site. I don’t follow Brian Cates on X, but the site’s algorithm still served me that tweet about Biden actually being a guy in a mask.
To be clear, there’s no evidence to show that President Biden has been replaced by a clone or a guy in a mask. The man is 80 years old and the burden of time makes all our faces droopy when we’ve seen eight decades on this planet.
