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

AGS NEWS – Nearly two years after acquiring Twitter and rebranding it as X, Elon Musk is using the platform’s influence to support former President Donald Trump in the 2024 presidential election.

Musk, who has been vocal in the political arena, has shifted from sharing his views to actively campaigning for Trump.

Musk’s endorsement of Trump was made clear in a post last month that garnered 2.3 million likes.

On Monday, he hosted Trump in a livestreamed conversation on X, allowing Trump to make several unchallenged claims. Trump used the platform to boost his fundraising efforts, while X promoted the event to its users.

Musk’s actions, including sharing misleading content about Vice President Kamala Harris and reinstating controversial figures on X, have sparked criticism.

His political posts have also drawn attention due to the platform’s role in spreading misinformation.

Despite criticism, Musk has offered to assist in Trump’s potential future administration, expressing interest in helping manage government spending.

This move signals Musk’s deeper involvement in the political landscape, raising questions about the influence of social media platforms and their owners in shaping public opinion.
