At about 3 p.m. EST on Tuesday, Musk reposted a conspiracy theory on X, the social media site he owns, that falsely claims Google is giving Kamala Harris an unfair advantage.

According to DogeDesigner, "Google shows a ‘Where to Vote’ section with a map for Kamala Harris, but not for Donald Trump.

The problem is DogeDesigner is way off — Google's "Where to Vote" section includes voting information for counties, not candidates. Possibly unbeknownst to both DogeDesigner and Musk, there is a Harris County in both Texas and Georgia.
Underneath DogeDesigner's post was a Community Note with more context provided: "The search query works because Harris is a county in Texas."
Readers added that surname-sounding counties like Clark, Clinton, Eden, Franklin, Floyd, Leon, and Marcy are all searchable on Google's "Where to Vote" feature.

Placated by Google's explanation, Musk reposted their message at about 4 p.m. EST, writing, "Thanks for the clarification," though his original repost on the subject remains on his account.
