TechScape: X reaches its final form: Elon Musk has bent it to his will
Briefly

Elon Musk’s strategy on X resembles that of past disinformation campaigns, as he has empowered users to report on supposed voter fraud, amplifying misinformation in a manner akin to the ‘Stop the Steal’ movement.
With a community of over 50,000 members, the 'election integrity community' on X is quickly becoming a hotbed for unverified claims and conspiratorial narratives, leading to dangerous implications for democratic processes.
Musk’s actions on X indicate a shift towards political maneuvering; by controlling the visibility of posts, he shapes the narrative, often favoring right-wing perspectives while marginalizing opposing viewpoints.
In a concerning trend, accusations of election interference and fraud are often made without due process, creating an environment where individuals are judged by social media narratives rather than facts.
