Wed Nov 06 10:06:01 UTC 2024: ## Elon Musk’s Twitter (Now X) Becomes Pro-Trump Propaganda Machine

**Elon Musk, the billionaire CEO of Tesla, has weaponized his social media platform X (formerly Twitter) into a pro-Donald Trump megaphone, injecting his political views into the feeds of millions of users.**

A recent investigation by Fortune revealed that Musk’s tweets consistently appear in the “For You” feeds of users, regardless of their interests or whether they follow him. This suggests a deliberate manipulation of the platform’s algorithm to promote Musk’s pro-Trump content.

Despite users attempting to opt out of Musk’s content, his tweets continued to flood their timelines, sometimes even doubling after they expressed disinterest. Two former Twitter employees confirmed that such a high volume of content from a single individual is highly unlikely to occur naturally and points towards a manual override of the algorithm.

Musk has been vocal about his commitment to “free speech,” but this has translated into a platform that prioritizes his own political views. Fortune’s analysis found that political content, overwhelmingly pro-Trump or anti-Vice President Kamala Harris, dominated the feeds of users, even those who had no interest in politics.

This manipulation raises concerns about the potential impact of Musk’s platform on the upcoming election. His pro-Trump tweets, combined with his millions of followers, could influence public opinion and sway voters.

While Musk’s actions have sparked outrage and accusations of political bias, he seems unfazed and continues to prioritize his own agenda on the platform. His employees are hesitant to challenge him, fearing repercussions.

This blatant manipulation of a major social media platform raises serious questions about the future of online discourse and the integrity of elections.
