Elon Musk has encouraged right-wing political movements, policies and administrations in at least 18 countries.
The article from MSN discusses how Elon Musk, through his ownership of X Corp (formerly Twitter), has been influencing far-right politics globally. Since acquiring the platform, Musk has reinstated accounts of controversial figures like Donald Trump and Kanye West, and has engaged with or promoted content from far-right influencers and conspiracy theorists. His actions, including his interactions with figures like Javier Milei in Argentina and his support for right-wing narratives, have helped amplify far-right ideologies. Musk's decisions, such as reducing content moderation and allowing previously banned users back on the platform, have led to an increase in misinformation and hate speech, thereby providing a louder voice to far-right politics. This has not only affected political discourse in the U.S. but has also had ripple effects internationally, where his platform's changes have emboldened similar movements.
