Elon Musk has had a lot to say about the grooming gangs scandal. We looked at 24 hours on Musk's X timeline and found a range of false and misleading information being amplified. Produced by Catherine Karelli, Shayan Sardarizadeh and Jake Horton. Graphics by Jacqueline Galvin.

@RugbyTigers Five lost lineouts, lock is too important a position to have makeshift solutions

@Nik_Simon88 A metaphor for the management of the sport by its governing bodies? Inaccessible, expensive and little regard for welfare...

@sambillings @cricketontnt @tntsports @englandcricket @finnysteve @kvlmason Field settings, how common are disagreements between captain and bowler? How much do they change according to the batter?

@SimonBrundish A few mins for Chiesa in the Szobo/10 role?

@AyoCaesar Agree! After such an impactful local campaign, saw and heard nothing from @bristolgreen in South or East constituency.

@CharlieFelix Bonkers, Tigers becoming the Chelsea of rugby. Chop and change. Only Cockers has lasted 2+ yrs in last 20. McKellar could have well coached Wallabies but committed to Tigers, sure rest of coaching ticket will be unsettled by incoming appt. Must have someone high profile lined up.

✅ "You look at Zak, England's in-form Test better, coming from a non-Test county. You've got the Director of Cricket at the ECB, also a Kent boy."

💪 "That's what makes English Cricket so strong."

@willgkelleher @premrugby @AlexMLowe @AlfredReynolds5 @SaleSharksRugby @TimesSport How do we develop young talent for England with fewer clubs, no A team rugby and the uncertainty around funding clubs in lower tiers? Some youngsters play a few Cup games and loan moves at semi-pro clubs and grounds.

[Thomas Brown ★★★★★★ @twb81]

@legsidelizzy Mystery how ECB won't develop game in biggest talent pool in the land. Great indoor facility & top girls cricket programme. No incentive for non-Test counties to invest in facilities and sport stagnates outside 6-8 venues. Baffling.

So get this: the world's coral reefs disappear at 1.5C.
We are past 1.5C now and heading for 2C.

THEY ARE DONE.

The point is not, "OMG all those lovely colourful things we see on David Attenborough are going to go ..."

No. The point is 25% of the world's fish will disappear as well.

No. The point is 1-2 billion people depend on those fish. 100s of millions of people will starve.

You're right, it could 'just' be only 10s of millions. So that's okay then. No problem.

@BenWattsSport First 14 runs off 28 balls then 28 runs off 14 balls. Acceleration. Symmetry.

[Thomas Brown ★★★★★★ @twb81]

@FromLe2 @KeeneTiger Ditto back rows out of position.

[Thomas Brown ★★★★★★ @twb81]

@wiffen_john Strong side, would like to see a genuine 7 in Illione who needs game time to develop unlike Rogerson and Cracknell. I'd rather see a young winger given a go than players out of position.
