The effect of Musk/X being pro-Trump can't be overstated. [View all]

Noticed this morning that Elon retweeted an AI video made by an obvious Trump worshipper... and within TWO hours it had 25,000,000 views.

It's a 2 minute AI re-make of the matrix with Trump as Neo and Biden as Agent Smith.

Sounds silly BUT... campaigns PAY millions for ads that reach an audience of 800 or 900k people on TV.

These online memes on X, FB or TikTok create their own "reality" where Trump is heroic...

An increasingly small section of the population get their news and education through legitimate sources.

No, I'm not going to link to it.
