Elon Musk , the billionaire owner of X , has used the platform as his own personal political bullhorn.

On July 26 , Musk posted a video of vice president and Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris in which a deepfake of her voice appears to make her say that she is the “ultimate DEI hire” and a “deep-state puppet” Former Twitter employees say that Musk ’s increasingly partisan behavior around the US elections and other major events is a sign that he is doing exactly what he accused the company's former leadership of doing: playing politics.

“He has a very obvious political agenda, says one former Twitter employee.

Last week , the X account for White Dudes for Harris was booted from the platform, causing many supporters of the vice president to wonder if this was Musk ’s own political preferences playing out on X in real time.

Musk doesn’t appear to be cowed by penalties like fines for spreading misinformation that are meant to keep billionaires and companies in check.
