Al Franken: Judd Legum on how Elon Musk is helping Trump



In the two years since Elon Musk bought Twitter, he's turned it into a leading source of right-wing propaganda. He spreads hateful rhetoric, platforms white nationalists, and engages with unfounded conspiracy theories. He lies about President Biden, promotes racist ideology, and pushes his own commentary onto X users, whether they follow him or not. All of this is working to get Donald Trump elected President again. - 05/12/2024.

Musk has met Putin twice. The Pentagon had to stop him from allowing Putin to use Starlink.

Musk can be dangerous but this administration and military do keep an eye on him. One material false move by Musk, and Biden could 'nationalize' his system in the name of national security.
