Elon Musk shapes right-wing media landscape with changes to Twitter
Elon Musk has become a central figure in right-wing media after transforming Twitter, now called X, into a platform that supports pro-Trump narratives. His changes have reduced content moderation and allowed far-right voices to thrive, giving him significant influence. Following Donald Trump's recent electoral success, Musk's role has grown, positioning him as a key player in the MAGA media landscape. Experts note that Musk's actions have effectively made X a hub for conspiracy theories and election misinformation. Musk's personal engagement on the platform has overshadowed Trump's own social media presence. This shift has raised concerns among progressives about the impact of Musk's influence on the political landscape and the future of traditional media.
