This is entirely false, the source which you have provided, cites their source as the site I have provided below. This site is a complete scam, its impossible to read any of their baseless articles because they're constantly trying to convince me my computer has a virus. I could not find a single source that leads to any evidence that this claim is true, only links to facebook posts which lead to the same scummy website. I regret to inform there are no sources which prove this happened, because it didnt.

I agree, the sheer set up of the website is a dead giveaway. The fact that there are also no sources that support this claim also leads this to be false. I would elaborate on that more.

This response is very well done. You not only included that the website itself was a scam, but also included that, through research, you couldn't find any sources to back up this statement. You explain what made the website seem like a scam, like the virus notification popping up, and include that Facebook is not a trusted source, as anyone can add information that doesn't need to be fact-checked. Overall, very well done!

I admire your attention to detail in checking the validity of the source itself, not simply the content they are putting out. How exactly did you check to see if the information was connected to outside sources? Did you simply research a suspicious piece of information that gave it away, or did you ask about the topic asa whole, and failed to find any leads?

 According to my research this claim is false. Yes, you verify the main claim from the headline of the article, however the source article is not on a trusted website. On top of this there is no listed author on the website. The website provides no credible source or reliable information. 

In addition, there are previous credible sources confirming that the claim is indeed false.

This post appears to be false, as a quick google search shows no credible sources backing up this statement that Elon Musk did indeed gift Alysa Liu a Tesla. The only sources that show up are several click-bait links from X (formerly Twitter), Instagram, and Facebook. I found one link that claims there is no evidence of such a gift; however, the source itself cannot be confirmed to be credible as it functions similarly to this site, News Detective, wherein it is an open forum for people to say pretty much whatever they desire. Additionally, both Elon Musk's several verified accounts as well as the accounts of Alysa Liu both never explicitly mention this supposedly gifted Tesla. Thus, I can say with confidence that this post is either false or there is no available information to prove this claim true.

This claim cannot be proven true of false. It is simply a baseless claim, with no evidence supporting or denying it. The source provided is firstly a Facebook post, which is unreliable in itself. Additionally, the resource found within that post has no substantial evidence and tries to engage the viewer to click on links likely leading to scams and is completely unreliable. Upon further research. there is no article or story confirming this claim and overall, no way to determine its credibility.
