For starters, we don&#8217;t know when this feature will launch. More importantly, though, Musk didn&#8217;t specify what kinds of interactions will prompt one of these automatic DMs. Will <em>any<\/em> interaction, such as a like, trigger one, or does the user need to repost or quote the post for the bot to send a message?<\/p>\n<section x-data=\"window.newsletter({ isDeal: false })\" x-init=\"init()\" aria-label=\"Newsletter Sign-Up\" class=\"relative invisible my-12 mx-auto w-full max-w-3xl md:my-16 ziff-component accent-cut-for-gradient-bg accent-cut-border-for-gradient-bg bg-gradient-fuchsia-secondary p-[2px]\">\n<p>\n            <span class=\"text-gradient-fuchsia-secondary\">Mashable Light Speed<\/span>\n        <\/p>\n<\/section>\n<p>Beyond that, it&#8217;s worth asking how effective this will actually be in curbing the spread of misinformation.
