Finally, the mainstream media is willing to say it: Elon Musk is meddling in November’s election.
As The New York Times reported Friday in a sweeping roundup of Musk’s campaign to elect Donald Trump, “the richest man in the world has involved himself in the U.S. election in a manner unparalleled in modern history.”
As the owner of X (formerly known as Twitter), Musk has been able to propagate conspiracy theories about the election, immigrants, and Democrats freely without pushback to his 201 million followers and the platform’s 500 million monthly active users. As the Times pointed out, since he endorsed Trump in July, Musk has posted at least 109 times about the Republican candidate and the election.
But the Times also confirmed something not previously known: Musk is coordinating with the Trump campaign to suppress negative stories about Trump.
