A post shared on Facebook purports Tesla CEO Elon Musk announced he was considering a purchase of General Motors.

Verdict: False

The claim is inaccurate. There is no evidence Musk is planning to make any more acquisitions of such a nature.

Fact Check:

Musk has revealed more information via the “Twitter Files,” claiming the FBI worked with and paid Twitter employees to censor certain content on the platform, according to CNN. The platform also has rescinded its short-lived policy banning promotion of other companies, the outlet reported.

The post purports Musk will buy General Motors. The video claims Musk is staging a “hostile takeover” of GM. “Elon Musk: ‘I Think I’ll Purchase General Motors!!’” the caption reads. (RELATED: Did Elon Musk Say That He Intends To Buy Meta?)

But reaching volume production with sustained positive cash flow was last achieved by an American car company, Chrysler, ~100 years ago!

Ford & Tesla are the only American car companies to avoid bankruptcy. Even GM & Chrysler went bankrupt in 2009.

This is not the first time a post has been promoted as true on social media. Check Your Fact recently debunked a claim that the Military criticized Donald Trump over his comments about the Constitution.
