As X’s owner and most followed user, Elon Musk has increasingly used the social media platform as a microphone to amplify his political views and, lately, those of right-wing figures he’s aligned with. There are few modern parallels to his antics, but then again there are few modern parallels to Elon Musk himself.
Like, he just taps it into his phone with his nasty little fingers. It’s super easy and he doesn’t have to follow any rules, often banning people he doesn’t like. All bc he exploited enough workers to spend billions of dollars for the privilege.
