Elon Must posted: It's disgusting how everyone is turning the insurance healthcare CEO killer into a folk hero. Insurance companies, like any company, have a duty to shareholders to maximize profits no matter how ruthlessly.

This cannot be fact checked because it is merely Elon Musk's opinion on the matter. There are no concrete facts that support whether or not it is right or wrong to praise a murderer and anybody's thoughts on the matter is all opinion based and includes a lot of personal bias. Also, the source provided is a social media site similar to twitter which are usually not credible sources and any claims taken from them should be taken with a grain of salt regardless.
Can't be true or false (Opinion, poem, etc.)

Be respectful.

There is bound to be disagreement on a site about misinformation. Assume best intentions on everyone's part.

If you are new to factchecking, take some time to learn about it. "How to Factcheck" has some resources for getting started. Even if you disagree with these materials, they'll help you understand the language of this community better.

News Detective is for uncovering misinformation and rumors. This is not a general interest question-answer site for things someone could Google.

Posting

The title is the "main claim" that you're trying to factcheck.

Example:
Factcheck This: Birds don't exist

If possible, LINK TO to the place you saw the claim.

Answering

LINK TO YOUR EVIDENCE or otherwise explain the source ("I called this person, I found it in this book, etc.")

But don't just drop a link. Give an explanation, copy and paste the relevant information, etc.
