Musk as a Supporting character
Musk is involved in the list of internet defenders as he presents his defense to Trump by defaming President Biden on his renewed platform X (Formerly Twitter). Donald and Elon have grown closer through the years, from Donating to the Democratic party before to defending the ‘convicted’ of the republican party presently; X owner has changed his stances favoring his relations with Donald Trump. According to the New York Times analysis, he has expressed his displeasure with immigrant policies and even commented on Biden’s age.
Putting one step further into it he brought back the banned account of Trump after owning Platform X. He has reinstalled a lot of banned accounts leaning towards right alignment. He has retained xenophobic conspiracy theories, false information, and hate speeches in his platform without sanctions.
Now, Musk has Proposed hosting a live video town hall on X.
How will the ‘town hall’ proceed?
The Town hall will be taking place on his platform X, where he has invited Donald Trump for the coming elections, he will be answering the questions of The X users Live. A debate between Trump and Biden was planned, but the invitation was declined by Biden’s campaign.
The Town Hall being held on X aims towards getting a fresh viewership as it has degraded after being possessed by Musk due to the spread of conspiracy theories, hate speeches, and misinformation on the platform. Twitter has always been a text-first social media platform yet Musk is pushing it to be a video platform hence the town hall concept.
Musk has invited Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to a similar setting as he is running for President independently. Elon Musk has confirmed bringing the concept in by tweeting, “It will be interesting” in reply to New York Post on X.
There will be journalists asking questions as well as X users. Still, the final say will go according to the appointed moderator further details have not been announced publicly about the segment’s date or time but the agency in conjunction with X for presenting is NewsNation according to Axios.
This move was potentially made to give the platform a major push into the political sphere, it seems to be aligned with the right wing however no financial endorsement or funding is given to any party by Musk. Any further update on the given update is awaited.
