Shut this down." — @wblau on

@parents4future just to play the devil’s advocate. How is this election interference? This is one person’s view. An influential and wealthy person, yes, but hardly unique in that regard.

If it could be shown that X was tweaking algorithms or otherwise promoting AfD over other choices, that would be a clearer case.

@Setok @parents4future afaik, the algorithms were tweaked a while ago to promote Elon's tweets to more people. so any party he endorses is indirectly favored by X

@nulleyes @parents4future that is a fair point, if still true. I’m not sure I’d yet go as far as saying the platform was participating in election interference, based on that alone, but it could be seen as an instrument towards that.
