Elon Musk, owner of X, has repositioned the social media platform as a fervent supporter of President-elect Donald J. Trump, leveraging his influence to push a conservative agenda, The New York Times reported.

Musk, who has posted about Trump hundreds of times since the election, is increasingly promoting X as the central platform for Trump's presidency and conservative voices. He has emerged as a vocal supporter of Trump, transforming the social media platform into a rallying point for the incoming administration and its supporters.

Musk's recent flurry of posts — over 400 between Tuesday and Friday — celebrates Trump's victory and magnifies causes the president-elect might prioritize.

X CEO Linda Yaccarino underscored the platform's political alignment, commenting "Reporting for duty" on a post about X's role in political discourse.

Who knew free & open discourse for all the X users is a conservative precept.

I wonder if more prominent libs are going to move away from X in protest - because their equality under the 1st Amendment is so fascist and all.

I’ve been suspended on Twitter for five years.

I just gritted my teeth and appealed my BS suspension.

We’ll see if they’re walking the walk over there.

The New York Times? A paper that's been in the tank for Clinton, Obama, Biden and for Harris to win? That New York Times is worried that Musk supports Trump? What a hoot.

Fish wrappers and bird cage liners. Expensive paper with ink.

Crazy how Microsoft(MSN) can control so much that shows up in the search results.

That’s exactly the point. Once Twitter was forced to shed the mantle of censoring conservative opinions, the true voice of America emerged in X.

The leftist press cannot seem to accept that they have actually been the minority opinion the whole time.
