Elon can save BILLIONS if Trump is elected, and he’s using Twitter, his new toy, to try and make it happen.

 

How Elon Musk has turned X into a pro-Trump machine

Musk, who is not only the owner but also the most followed user on X, has shifted to more direct campaigning for former President Donald Trump. It’s an unusual move for one of the world’s richest men and the leader of a mainstream social network. 

And, he’s pledged $45 million per month to Trump’s campaign, although he’s now publicly denying it.

Musk has turned the platform he purchased for $44 billion into his own personal, political messaging machine, seeking to influence his more than 190 million followers and, in some cases, sharing false claims from the very top.

Musk shared a video that used AI to make it appear that Harris had said things she, in fact, did not — in an apparent violation of X’s manipulated media policy and with only a laughing face emoji to suggest to followers that it was fake. Weeks after it was posted, the video is not labeled with a “community note,” X’s community fact-checking feature that Musk used as justification for slashing the company’s trust and safety team, and has been seen by over 1.2 billion followers.

What’s more, X also twice labeled as spam and locked the account for “White Dudes for Harris,” a group that had been fundraising and rallying support for the vice president’s campaign — raising questions about the platform’s commitment to Musk’s stated goal of “free speech” and whether it was cracking down on viewpoints that differed from Musk’s.
