Trump’s aide Navarro has criticised Musk-owned social platform in the past after it flagged his misleading comments on India.

Navarro’s remark came after Musk’s comment on a teacher from Los Angeles who has openly called for more violence.
“My friend @ElonMusk. How about you start fighting back by cleaning up the cesspool otherwise known as X. No more anonymous posts. No more foreigners swarming your platform and polluting our political discourse. X has become a breeding ground and grooming Academy for the very dark forces. You wanna fight back. Physician, heal itself. Elon, heal X,” the White House Trade Advisor said.

Musk wrote, “We must fight back or be murdered,” while replying to a user’s post about the teacher.
Navarro, who has been criticising India over Russian oil purchase, had earlier said that India’s keyboard minions are hijacking X’s Community Notes to bury the facts.
Navarro made a bizarre claim that “Brahmins are profiteering” from India’s Russian oil purchase, a claim also dismissed as “baseless” by X’s community notes, the crowdsourced fact-checking system.
India had rejected as “inaccurate and misleading” Navarro’s offensive comments. “We have seen the inaccurate and misleading statements made by Navarro, and obviously reject them,” External Affairs Ministry spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal said.
