Major Changes in ALGORITHMIC STRATEGY AND CONTENT gave prioritization to right wing creators and talking points
Elon Musk’s purchase of Twitter in 2022 began the start of a new era of X, formerly known as Twitter. Elon campaigned that his reason for taking the public company private ($33Billion acquisition) was due to saving “free speech”. But years later, it is very evident that Elon needed Twitter for one thing, and one thing only; control.
- According to Plos journalism, “Hate speech” increased 50% for at least eight months after the takeover.
- Here is an example below of Lilly Gaddis, a proud MAGA/nationalist who instigates and promotes hate speech via Twitter.
But let’s not stop with Lilly Gaddis, here is Elon promoting hate speech on his own platform:
Ask yourself, why would Elon Musk (an immigrant from South Africa) so concerned with diluting American history and the stories of Black Americans? Why would someone who champions “Free Speech” allow such hateful comments for one type of people, but not extend that same “Free Speech” during incidences like Charlie Kirk’s death?
Over the past few years Elon didn’t have a problem with anything being said against “liberals” or minorities, however, Charlie Kirk’s incident was too far? Would Charlie Kirk agree with Elon?, probably not.
Algorithmic Shift Amplifies Harmful Content. Creators can get paid via monetization.
Analyses of the platform’s algorithm show that it changed significantly in 2024
- The algorithm underwent “drastic shifts” that contributed to user dissatisfaction and mass account deactivations.
- For example, Elon took away viewable “likes” (meaning users can’t see who has liked a tweet). While this was championed as “having privacy to like what you like”, it really is a sinister way of increasing content and content creators without any checks and balances.
- Researchers found that harmful content and bot activity continued to thrive, suggesting moderation tools weren’t keeping up with increasing bot demand.
When algorithms reward engagement above all else, inflammatory content tends to rise to the top. This is increased when the owner of the platform purposefully pushes false information.
Elon uses twitter (x) to alert conservative politicians and mirror erroneous MAGA talking points.
In alignment with the eugenics push that MAGA and nationalist continue to display on twitter, Elon promoted the false notion of South Afrikaners being persecuted in 2025. Elon knowingly spewed this false notion despite White Afrikaners posting testimonials that this wasn’t true. Moreover, when Twitter users asked the AIx bot (Grok) about the persecution, Grok was found to have changed his answer after being confronted by Elon’s hypocrisy. Not only was this a lame attempt to fabricate something that didn’t happen, it was the first true sign of how AI can be weaponized to promote and engage in FAKE propraganda.
Going into 2026 it’s going to be very critical that Americans and observers understand how Elon attempts to weaponize his eugenic notions and false views. Many believe Elon’s humanitarian stance (once shown in early 2000s) versus his now bigoted MAGA stance is direclty attributed to his daughter who decided to become trans. Not only is his daughter trans, but also someone that has spoken highly against her father for his bigotry and falsehoods.
