Elon Musk uses his X ownership and White House position to push Trump priorities, intimidate detractors.

He has used X to promote Trump ’s positions to his 215 million followers.

Musk insists his X postings about DOGE and other government business are to benefit the public.

In December , Musk helped him temporarily sink a government funding deal.

He has taken to X to advance DOGE ’s efforts to shut down the U.S. Agency for International Development .

Critics say that instead of complete transparency, Musk is showing only what he wants to reveal.
