75% Informative

Elon Musk has turned Twitter into an echo chamber amplifying right-leaning causes.

The tech billionaire bought the app then known as Twitter in April 2022 .

He pledged that the app would not take sides in politics.

In recent months , Musk has become one of Trump 's biggest donors and most energetic supporters.

University of Washington researchers dubbed the accounts “newsbrokers” in a report this month .

They often lack journalistic standards and propagate conspiracy theories and partisan views.

Musk has personally boosted many of them, such as @libsoftiktok and the account of conspiracy theorist Laura Loomer .

Other research has shown conservative content getting a boost.

A Pew Research Center survey from March found that rather than upsetting the far right and the far left, X generated perceptions that were polarized along party lines.

As the election draws closer, Musk has ramped up his pro-Trump efforts on X with dozens of political posts a day.
