It is the first week of November, and we remember to bust fake news every week. However, like your bogus claims, ‘ mongers are also up-to-date with current affairs.
Therefore, we caught four misleading claims that are perfect for our Kisne Feka column about recent events in the nation and abroad.
Elon Musk Fired Vijaya Gadde, the head of legal affairs policy!

Fake news: A podcast video is going viral on social media. The viral clip begins with Vijaya saying, “I feel like we have failed in many ways, and I want to admit that.” Musk replied, “Failure comes with big penalties; you are fired.” According to social media claims, Elon Musk fired the head of legal affairs policy, Vijaya Gadde.
Truth Bomb: The viral claim is false. On March 6, 2019, Joe Rogan’s podcast was live-streamed on YouTube. The video features show host Joe Rogan, Vijaya, Twitter co-founder Jack Dorsey, and political commentator Tim Poole.
Vijaya was responding to a question related to Twitter’s rules violation. She says, “I do think we have failed in a couple of ways, and I want to admit that… we have not done enough education about our rules; there are many people who violated the law, and many of them do not even know it… As a result, Elon Musk’s statement appears to have come from somewhere else.
PM Greeting Morbi bridge contractors!
आप जो तस्वीर मे देख रहे ये है मोदी के साथ ओधव पटेल है इसीको मोरबी ब्रिज रिपेयर का करोड़ों का टेंडर दिया गया था.

उद्योगपति ओधव पटेल नाम का व्यक्ति तीन कंपनियों को चलाता है. ओरेवा,अजंता,ओरपट

Odhavji Raghavji Patel was the founder of the Ajanta group, and he passed away in 2012. The Overa Group did the renovation work.
Indonesian currency consists of Lord Ganesh on Notes; why aren’t we doing the same?
आज साबित हो गया हिंदू भगवान की नोट पर फ़ोटो से तकलीफ़ मुस्लिम भाइयों को नहीं है,भाजपा के नेताओं को है।
Indonesia एक Muslim देश है। वहां 85% मुस्लिम और केवल 2% Hindu हैं लेकिन वहां की Currency पर श्री गणेश जी की तस्वीर है। pic.twitter.com/Ky1IR8zMe6— Saurabh Bharadwaj (@Saurabh_MLAgk) October 26, 2022
