As X’s owner and most followed user, Elon Musk has increasingly used the social media platform as a microphone to amplify his political views and, lately, those of right-wing figures he’s aligned with. There are few modern parallels to his antics, but then again there are few modern parallels to Elon Musk himself.
No shit, but then even Obama used Twitter to win the elections. What’s new?
The owner of the platform blatantly and openly supporting one side is new. We used to call that election interference
At least he is honest about who he / the platform supports, not some shady algorithm pending to one side, or some tv channel being left while another is right lol
No, he’s doing both. He’s both open about his love for authoritarians AND uses shady algorithms to promote Nazi bullshit.
Is it new? Every publisher and platform seems to openly support one side or another.
if only there was an article or something that answered this question.
