Elon Musk’s Controversial Support of Donald Trump in the 2024 Election
In recent months, Elon Musk has provided significant backing for Donald Trump’s presidential campaign through various unconventional and ethically questionable methods. Notably, Musk has leveraged his vast social media following on X (formerly Twitter) to amplify MAGA talking points, suggesting a strategic effort to distract users and fuel conspiracy theories about election fraud. A recent study indicates potential manipulation of engagement algorithms on the platform enhancing Musk’s tweets. This campaign strategy may serve as a contingency to strengthen claims of electoral misconduct should Trump lose the upcoming election.
