Are people finally done with Elon Musk's X?
Internet writer CT Jones reports from the front lines of X about why users are abandoning ship post-election
Donald Trump's win in the latest U.S. presidential election proved to be very good news for billionaire Elon Musk.
Since the results came in, Tesla stock has jumped dramatically, Forbes magazine has declared Musk the richest man in the world once more, and Musk has even gotten a new job with president-elect Trump's incoming administration.
These developments may not come as a total surprise, since Musk did use his social media platform, X, to push a pro-Trump message. Still, many critics are saying it isn't just that right-wing views have been amplified since he took over the platform formerly known as Twitter; it's also pushing Nazi content, bigotry, and fascism.
Internet writer CT Jones joins host Elamin Abdelmahmoud to discuss why users have been leaving X in protest since the outcome of the U.S. presidential election was announced.
