Elon Musk’s acquisition of Twitter, now rebranded as X, has been a significant development in the world of social media. Since taking over the platform, Musk has emphasized the need for freedom of expression and has made several changes to the site’s moderation policies. However, these changes have raised concerns about the spread of misinformation and the promotion of divisive content.

 

One of the most notable changes to X is the rise of profiles that share misleading takes on politics and news. These profiles, such as Inevitable West, have gained a significant following and have been accused of pushing disinformation and inciting hate. Inevitable West, which claims to be a “Defender of Western values and culture,” has amassed over 131,600 followers and has been endorsed by Musk himself.

 

The creator of Inevitable West, who remains anonymous, claims that their purpose is to be the “voice for the silent majority of the Western world.” However, their posts have been criticized for being misleading and inflammatory. Despite this, Inevitable West denies accusations of pushing disinformation and inciting abuse or violence.

 

Musk’s changes to X have also included the introduction of a new algorithm that prioritizes divisive and misleading content. This has led to concerns that the platform is becoming a hub for extremist views and conspiracy theories. Andrew Kaung, a former analyst at TikTok and Meta, believes that X’s algorithm is informed by a lack of safety mechanisms, which is allowing divisive content to spread.

 

The rise of X has also had significant implications for political discussions. The platform has become a key space for politicians and governments to share their views, and Musk’s endorsement of Donald Trump has raised concerns about the platform’s influence on political discourse. Trump’s relationship with Musk has been closely watched, and the two have been spotted together at several events.

 

Musk’s acquisition of X has also raised questions about the future of social media regulation. The Online Safety Act in the UK and plans to ban children under 16 from using social media in Australia are just a few examples of the growing scrutiny of social media platforms. However, it is unclear how these regulations will impact X, which is based in the US.

 

The US government’s approach to social media regulation will likely have a significant impact on X and other platforms. Trump’s relationship with social media CEOs, including Musk and Mark Zuckerberg, will be closely watched, and any changes to regulation could have far-reaching consequences for the industry.

 

As X continues to evolve, it is clear that Musk’s vision for the platform is centered around freedom of expression. However, this approach has raised concerns about the spread of misinformation and the promotion of divisive content. The implications of X’s rise will be closely watched, and it remains to be seen how the platform will shape the future of social media and political discourse.

 

The changes to X have also had a significant impact on the platform’s users. Some have reported a decrease in engagement and a rise in divisive content, while others have found new opportunities for self-promotion and influence. The platform’s algorithm has been criticized for prioritizing sensational and misleading content, which has led to concerns about the spread of misinformation.

 

Despite these concerns, X remains a significant player in the world of social media. The platform’s influence on political discourse and its role in shaping public opinion will continue to be closely watched. As the social media landscape continues to evolve, it is clear that X will remain a key player in the years to come.

 

Musk’s endorsement of Trump has also raised concerns about the platform’s influence on the 2024 US presidential election. The two have been spotted together at several events, and Trump has used X to share his views and connect with his supporters. The implications of this relationship will be closely watched, and it remains to be seen how X will shape the future of political discourse.

 

The rise of X has also led to concerns about the spread of extremism and conspiracy theories. The platform’s algorithm has been criticized for prioritizing divisive and misleading content, which has led to concerns about the spread of hate speech and misinformation. Despite these concerns, X remains a significant player in the world of social media, and its influence will continue to be closely watched.

 

As the social media landscape continues to evolve, it is clear that X will remain a key player in the years to come. The platform’s influence on political discourse and its role in shaping public opinion will continue to be closely watched, and any changes to regulation could have far-reaching consequences for the industry.
