Elon Musk Hosts Trump in Live X Discussion

Elon Musk hosted a live conversation with Donald Trump on X, which attracted over 1.4 million listeners, as the two discussed various political topics, including immigration and the economy. This marked Trump's return to the platform since his suspension in 2021, where he criticized Vice President Kamala Harris, claiming she should not be supported, while Musk expressed his support for Trump. Despite technical challenges, the event showcased Musk's influence in shaping political discourse on X, which he has transformed into a platform for right-leaning views. Reports indicate that X may be suppressing Trump's tweets, raising concerns about content moderation practices on the platform. Additionally, a study revealed that conservative media content is disproportionately suppressed on X, contradicting Musk's earlier promises to address bias. The findings suggest a deeper ideological divide in the platform's visibility mechanisms, favoring left-leaning outlets.
