#ElonMusk has steadily ramped up his criticism of #Biden…. Musk has posted about Biden ≥7X a month since Jan, attacking the president for everything from his age to his policies on immigration & health. Before that, he posted about Biden twice in Dec & not at all in Nov. In all, #Musk had posted nearly 40X about Biden this year, compared w/about 30X for all of last year.

In contrast, #Musk had posted >20X this yr about #Trump. In those posts, #ElonMusk defended Trump, arguing that he is a #victim of #media & prosecutorial #bias in the #criminal cases that Trump faces.

Musk’s posts…signal…a willingness to tip the #political scales as the owner of an influential #SocialMedia #platform, something that no other leader of a social media firm has done. And Musk exerts outsize #influence over the political discourse on X, where he regularly posts to his 184M followers

Anybody still using Twitter/X is empowering the Musk pro-fascist effort.

Threads and Mastodon are excellent replacements. I was a Twitter user for 10 years. The day Musk acquired it I left, and never went back.
