Multiple reports allege that xTwitter has started actively blocking views for a political candidate they dislike.
Attempts to follow @KamalaHQ, Harris’s official rapid response page, resulted in an error message stating “something went wrong” or that users had reached their follow limit, preventing them from following any more accounts.
Musk responded by posting a screenshot of the error message accompanied by a gloating remark: “Sure did.”
This is a predictable outcome following promises of 2022, when Elon Musk bought the social media platform and boasted that he could use it to help his political candidates win elections without a campaign.
This doublespeak for his campaign platform intention is reminiscent of how Elon Musk runs Tesla PR to pump stock price with social media bots, astroturf and paid accounts, yet tells everyone they don’t do PR.
Rather juvenile evidence of anti-democratic extremist affiliation and coordination within xTwitter campaign interference groups seems almost too obvious. First swastikas, now this.
And just for the record, Elon Musk’s grandfather was humiliated in Canadian politics as he basically ran for office as a rich Nazi to create a white ethnostate (it’s why in 1950 he fled to run South African Apartheid instead). Their family platform of “some of my friends“… is not now and has never been a good campaign look.
