    This headline is like writing “Police opens investigation into alleged killing” even though the victim is full of bullet holes. It is not alleged that the deed happened, just whether or not a specific individual or organisation broke the law doing it.

      The alleged here is rather if musk/X.com is responsible for it according to the law, and/or spread it willingly

        It literally says

        alleged disinformation

        not something like

        alleged fault of X/Musk for disinformation on the platform
