Elon Musk Caught Influencing the Election.


https://www.datalounge.com/thread/34630541-elon-musk-caught-influencing-the-election.

And so it begins. Shortly after Elon back tracked saying he was not giving any money directly to Trump and just to his political PAC, it turns out he found a more subversive way to help him win with the use of X.

In a nutshell, after running one of their America PAC ads, they claim they can help you register to vote. But here is the dirty part, after you enter your zip code, if you come from a known solid blue state like California or NY, or red state, you get directed to back to the states website to register to vote. But if your zip code is in a battleground state, the same is not true, you get prompted to enter more personal data which is harvested by his political PAC and just says thank you, it does not tell them they still need to register to vote, it does not link them back to their state. This gives him the ability to leverage huge amounts of targeted ads across all social media directly to swing voters with pro-Trump ads without anyone knowing the wiser.

Sigh. Come on Twitter and make your complaints. Just post them. You can decry anything or refute anything. I sound off there all the time and I have yet to get thrown in Twitmo. I did, of course, when Jack owned the place. Anything spoken against the prevailing narrative would get you shot down by the thought police.

You must really hate this guy.

You're not going enjoy this next opinion then:
Sorry X, it’s over. Elon Musk is a dangerous troll - https://www.thetimes.com/article/a9188e70-70ef-49f5-a8c0-7ac0f7b309df?shareToken=cdeeb1bfb12aa51323dc21bccc78dacc

Musk bought Twitter with the promise of free speech but now he is spreading disinformation and meddling in politics.

Random Moviechat user links to a random Youtube video as a way to fuel their derangement syndrome and repeatedly spam this forum with bullshit anti-Musk narratives. Did I miss anything else?

Edit: Actually I did - this account is essentially the equivalent of a mindless astroturfing bot, judging by the majority of its posts.

Why the fuck are you caping so hard for this guy!?

This is probably bullshit, but if it's true it sounds like a good idea. Fight Democrat election cheating with some of their own kind of chicanery.

How Elon Musk has turned X into a pro-Trump machine

https://www.cnn.com/2024/08/13/tech/elon-musk-donald-trump-x/

Nearly two years after Elon Musk bought Twitter and turned it into X, the billionaire is leveraging its power as a source of real-time news for millions of users to try to sway the outcome of the 2024 presidential election in favor of former President Donald Trump.

Musk has already asserted his voice in the political sphere for months. He’s pushed racist conspiracy theories about the Biden administration’s immigration policies, obsessed over the “woke mind virus,” a term used by some conservatives to describe progressive causes, and warned of the country’s impending “doom” if a “red wave” does not materialize in November.

But now Musk, who is not only the owner but also the most followed user on X, has shifted to more direct campaigning for former President Donald Trump. It’s an unusual move for one of the world’s richest men and the leader of a mainstream social network.

pro-Trump machine = not anti-Trump machine?

Funny how the dipshit running Fakebook did the same thing 4 years ago and you didn't say a word about him.
