X owner Elon Musk gave a nod to Mark Zuckerberg on Tuesday after the Meta Platforms CEO followed his lead in scrapping fact-checking on his social media platforms.

In reaction to news of Zuckerberg’s pledge to “restore” free speech to Facebook, Instagram and other Meta platforms by getting rid of fact-checkers and replacing them with “Community Notes” similar to what Musk did on X, Musk replied, “This is cool.”

X CEO Linda Yaccarino celebrated Zuckerberg’s move, too, writing on X that Community Notes has been “profoundly successful while keeping freedom of speech sacred.”

She added, “It’s a smart move by Zuck and something I expect other platforms will follow now that X has shown how powerful it is. Bravo!”
