How X owner Elon Musk uses his social platform to amplify his right-wing views
Associated PressAs X’s owner and most followed user, Elon Musk has increasingly used the social media platform as a megaphone to amplify his political views and, lately, those of right-wing figures he’s aligned with. And he accused a political party in his native South Africa of “openly pushing for genocide of white people.” “Elon Musk is a master of the media and controls one of the world’s largest microphones. That could turn off users who feel marginalized on the platform, and disillusion some who may have earlier bought into his free speech mantra.” Musk’s political shift playing out on X comes as other social media platforms, notably Meta’s Facebook and Instagram, are shying away from politics. He’s sparring with those who disagree with him — be they foreign governments or people infected by what he calls the “woke mind virus.” Last week, the British government called on Elon Musk to act more responsibly after the tech billionaire used X to unleash a barrage of posts that risk inflaming violent unrest gripping the country.
