Elon Musk's social media X, formerly known as Twitter, has been using clickbait ads on their site to generate revenue, and Wayne Gretzky is the victim of it. Clickbait ads on social media are designed to grab attention with misleading headlines. These ads often feature striking images or provocative questions to get users to click, only to lead them to content that fails to live up to the headline's promise. The primary goal is to drive traffic to websites and generate advertising revenue. From exaggerated health claims to misleading news stories, these ads spread rapidly due to how quickly they go viral. Recently, former NHL legend <a href='https://starsandsticks.com/posts/the-magic-of-alex-ovechkin-and-the-chase-towards-wayne-gretzky-01j5trcvqbvt' class='lien_marqueur' target='_blank' rel='noopener'>Wayne Gretzky</a> has been targeted by such tactics on social media platform X, formerly known as Twitter. A post making the rounds falsely shows Gretzky being detained by law enforcement with his hands handcuffed behind his back. As shown in the misleading post, the headline and image are completely fake. Wayne Gretzky was not been arrested, and there is no scandal that he's currently involved in. This is a classic example of deceptive advertising designed to lure users into clicking on the post under false pretenses. <div align='center'><blockquote class='twitter-tweet' data-lang='en'><a href='https://twitter.com/Derek_N_NHL/status/1826765630739231034'> </a></blockquote></div> The backlash online has been significant, with some speculating that Elon Musk might be resorting to these type of measures out of desperation for revenue. It will be intriguing to see if any legal action, such as class action lawsuits, are pursued due to the defamation of individuals' reputations. This is no doubt upsetting to many. Wayne Gretzky, a legendary figure in the NHL, holds numerous records and has received a countless number of awards. With 1,487 career games, 894 goals, and 1,963 assists, he has accumulated an impressive total of 2,857 points.
