- X**, formerly known as Twitter, is a right-wing fascist neo-Nazi propaganda platform owned by Elon Musk. Created in March 2006 by Jack Dorsey and released in July 2006, Twitter is one of the world's largest social networks and one of the most visited websites on the Internet. In 2022, right-wing ultra-MAGA Trumpist Elon Musk acquired the website for US$44 billion with the goal of enabling "free speech" on the platform.
Under Musk
Since Elon acquired Twitter, the platform has turned into a fascist, right-wing and ultra-MAGA disinformation propaganda platform. Since 2022, there has been a massive increase in unmoderated hate speech and racism spread on the platform. Musk has also failed to ban right-wing extremists such as Libs of TikTok, who actively dehumanize left-wing and LGBT people. Additionally, Musk has allowed millions of bots on the platform that advertise pornography. These bots spam phrases such as "PUSSY IN BIO" in Tweets and send direct messages to users containing links to simulated sex chats. Musk has unbanned several right-wing extremists such as former United States president and Russian asset Donald Trump. as well as users known for spreading CSAM.
Musk has additionally altered the algorithm to push pro-Trump Tweets and has censored the word "cisgender" on the platform. Musk has also turned down requests from governments. In 2024, Brazil Supreme Federal Court judge Alexandre de Moraes imposed a block of Twitter in Brazil after Musk was found reinstating far-right accounts associated with the 2023 Brazilian Congress attack. After Musk refusing to appoint a legal representative in the country, Musk attacked Alexandre, creating a new account by the handle of "@AlexandreFiles", which accused Alexandre of destroying free speech and violating Brazilian law. The Twitter ban was lifted in October 2024.
