Elon Musk's X Platform Promotes Pro-Trump Content
News summary

Elon Musk's social media platform X, previously known as Twitter, is actively promoting Trump campaign-curated content, including hashtags like #Trump2024 and #MAGA, to all U.S. users, even those who have blocked or muted related content. Musk, a Trump supporter, endorsed the former president publicly and introduced a new reaction emoji on X depicting Trump's fist-pumping moment after surviving an assassination attempt. The platform displays custom icons next to pro-Trump hashtags, such as an American flag and an image of Trump raising his fist. Despite a ban on political ads being lifted in 2023, questions remain about whether the Trump campaign paid for these promotions. Musk's alignment with Trump has led to significant financial support, including a reported $45 million monthly pledge to a pro-Trump Super PAC, marking a shift from his prior stance as a politically moderate figure. The move has sparked both praise and criticism, with MAGA followers lauding Musk while others question the platform's role in partisan promotion.
