A third of his tweets mentioned them \u2014 such as posts about Tesla\u2019s Cybertruck, its \u201cFull Self-Driving\u201d software and his frustrations with the pandemic-related \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/elonmusk\/status\/1465423422238994436\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">supply chain<\/a>\u00a0nightmare.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Nearly three years later, with Musk at the helm of the site he renamed X, the billionaire\u2019s feed often reads more like a right-wing activist account, with alarmist posts about immigration and missives against \u201cwoke\u201d ideology. He still posts frequently about Tesla, but the share of his posts about the company is less than half of what it was in November 2021. This year, political tweets made up 17 percent of his feed, an analysis by The Washington Post found \u2014 skyrocketing up from 2 percent in 2021.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Musk\u2019s openly partisan participation on the site he bought in October 2022 reflects a broader evolution in his public persona from business-minded tech prodigy to right-wing firebrand. It has also raised questions about Musk\u2019s intentions for the social networking site, which he said he purchased to promote free speech and a more open exchange of ideas. In some ways, the site has become a personal megaphone for his provocative political views.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>X recently&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/xbusiness\/status\/1821576168283533795?s=12&amp;t=ieeOtcGPZJnED2y7CFrn3g\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">claimed<\/a>&nbsp;that 35 million swing voters use the platform every month. With polls nationally and in crucial swing states showing a tightening race, where people get their information and the quality of that information could well decide the next president, as well as control of Congress.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Musk is the platform\u2019s most followed user, with more than 193 million followers. X has at times boosted Musk\u2019s tweets into users\u2019 feeds, and algorithmically fed posts about causes he has promoted into users\u2019 timelines. Neither he nor X responded to emailed requests for comment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Musk has lately used his feed to promote the candidacy of former president Donald Trump, whom he formally endorsed with an X post. Trump has said he is participating in an interview with Musk on Monday, though few details have emerged.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To quantify the shift in Musk\u2019s X feed, The Post analyzed tweets that contained at least seven words and were not reposts. The analysis classified the posts as related to politics, Tesla<strong>,&nbsp;<\/strong>Twitter (now X) or SpaceX based on keywords, but did not categorize as politics some of Musk\u2019s posts that relate obliquely to the topic. The analysis found that his posts about Tesla, Twitter and SpaceX taken together dropped from 31 percent of his feed in 2021 to 21 percent this year. His posts about Twitter increased from 1 percent in 2021 before he purchased the company to 8 percent so far this year, while Tesla and SpaceX posts together dropped from 30 percent to 13 percent during that time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The analysis also showed a sharp uptick in the frequency of Musk\u2019s postings overall. He now posts five times as often as he did in 2021.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Despite a more than&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/technology\/2023\/10\/27\/elon-musk-twitter-x-anniversary\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">30 percent drop<\/a>&nbsp;in the number of people actively tweeting, according to figures reported last year, X remains one of the most influential platforms for disseminating information on the election. President Joe Biden used the platform to&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/JoeBiden\/status\/1815080881981190320\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">announce<\/a>&nbsp;he was leaving the presidential race, minutes before news organizations reported on his departure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Some of the key topics of Musk\u2019s political posts at the moment are his critiques of the flow of undocumented migrants to the United States, which he claims are shifting the makeup of the electorate; what he calls the \u201cwoke mind virus\u201d; his opposition to transgender rights; the 2024 election; and the recent riots in Britain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Earlier this month, Musk used X to promote posts from other users that were increasingly typical for his feed: a&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/BillMelugin_\/status\/1819397379420049499\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">story<\/a>&nbsp;about a \u201ccontroversial migrant flight program\u201d green-lighted by the Biden administration, a right-wing furor&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/megynkelly\/status\/1819431406688166226\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">about<\/a>&nbsp;an Algerian boxer at the Olympics whom conservatives misidentified as transgender, a&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/elonmusk\/status\/1819607747203105044\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">podcast<\/a>&nbsp;featuring Republican vice-presidential candidate JD Vance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThis is a battle to the death with the anti-civilizational woke mind virus,\u201d Musk&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/elonmusk\/status\/1770806158497906916\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">declared<\/a>&nbsp;earlier this year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Until Musk\u2019s purchase, owners of large mainstream U.S. social media platforms typically refrained from publicly supporting candidates, despite accusations of left-wing bias from some conservatives who say content moderation disproportionately targeted their views. Those concerns came to a head in 2020 when multiple social media sites&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/technology\/2020\/10\/15\/facebook-twitter-hunter-biden\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">limited the spread<\/a>&nbsp;of story about Hunter Biden\u2019s laptop. Former Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/technology\/2022\/12\/03\/elon-musk-twitter-files\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">later said<\/a>&nbsp;the company had made a mistake in doing so.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When Musk pursued the site in 2022, he was&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/technology\/2022\/11\/22\/elon-musk-twitter-content-moderations\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">fuming about<\/a>&nbsp;the suspension of conservative satire site the Babylon Bee and&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/elonmusk\/status\/1348688644173934593\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">took umbrage<\/a>&nbsp;with the ban on Trump. Days after taking control of the platform, Musk endorsed Republicans in the 2022 midterm elections \u2014 an extraordinary step for the head of a mainstream social media platform.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cShared power curbs the worst excesses of both parties, therefore I recommend voting for a Republican Congress, given that the Presidency is Democratic,\u201d he said. He later&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/technology\/2022\/11\/19\/trump-musk-twitter\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">restored<\/a>&nbsp;Trump\u2019s account.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After Musk\u2019s takeover, Twitter&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/technology\/2023\/04\/15\/twitter-musk-bid-anniversary\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">shed<\/a>&nbsp;around 80 percent of its workers, including much of the Trust and Safety department responsible for content moderation, and adjusted features \u2014 such as its trademark blue checks \u2014 that had been geared at establishing the authority of information on the site.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Many conservatives cheered Musk\u2019s moves, which they said have allowed greater room for dissent and promoted more open conversations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cHe bought it to restore free speech. Our suspension was just one of many egregious examples of why that was necessary.

Wilson has become an outspoken voice against Musk, following his&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/business\/2024\/07\/26\/musk-transgender-vivian-grimes\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">comments last month<\/a>&nbsp;that the \u201cwoke mind virus\u201d killed her.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Musk\u2019s openly anti-trans positions have for years weighed on his product\u2019s fans \u2014 and his onetime defenders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Earl Banning, a Tesla shareholder who cashed out his 401(k) account and placed the funds into Tesla stock in 2015, has become an ardent Musk critic on X. Banning, an Anchorage neuropsychologist and parent of a transgender 15-year-old, said Musk\u2019s anti-trans postings were the last straw.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cFor that reason alone I needed to speak up,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Late last month, a longtime Tesla fan took to X to lament Musk\u2019s shift into overt and frequent political posting, urging him to \u201cchill on posting about Politics.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cSure, it\u2019s your right as an American,\u201d the user wrote. \u201cBut as one of the world\u2019s most powerful and influential people i think we need to hold a higher standard of discourse.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI hear you,\u201d Musk replied.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the days that followed, Musk posted a steady stream of grievances, elevating posts about the&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/world\/2024\/08\/07\/uk-riots-police-violence-arrests-sentences\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">far-right riots<\/a>&nbsp;in Britain, the&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/elonmusk\/status\/1821109554358222890\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">supposed erosion<\/a>&nbsp;of Western cultures and calling Harris \u201cliterally a communist.\u201d Nothing had changed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Methodology<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>The Post analyzed all of Elon Musk\u2019s tweets that contained at least seven words and were not reposts from Jan. 1, 2021, through Aug. 9, 2024 \u2014 a total of 9,567 posts of the 23,558 posts Musk made during that time. All tweets, regardless of length, were included in calculating the volume of Musk\u2019s posts per day. The Post obtained the tweets from the National Conference on Citizenship, web data collection company Bright Data and&nbsp;<\/em><a href=\"http:\/\/polititweet.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><em>Polititweet.org<\/em><\/a><em>. Tweets were classified as relating to Tesla, SpaceX, Twitter (now X) or politics based on keywords in the text. Some tweets could be about multiple topics. About 60 percent of tweets were outside those four topics. In 2021, 19 percent of Musk\u2019s posts were about Tesla; in 2024 so far, 7 percent were.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Reporters excluded very short posts for the topic analysis because there\u2019s too little content in Musk\u2019s own words to ascertain a topic. Nearly 30 percent of Musk\u2019s tweets are a single word, emoji or exclamation marks. Almost 5 percent consist of only the \u201ctears of joy\u201d or \u201crolling on the floor laughing\u201d emoji.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Classifying free text into categories is tricky under optimal circumstances. It\u2019s trickier here for two reasons: We needed to distinguish Musk\u2019s newfound conservative politics from long-standing references to electric vehicle tax incentives (a frequent Tesla-related topic), and to exclude his frequent discussions of content moderation policies linked to his acquisition of Twitter, which has both political and corporate valence. Thus, neither \u201cfree speech\u201d nor \u201cincentive\u201d keywords were included in The Post\u2019s politics category. Criticism of the media was not included in the politics category either.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>The Post selected keywords for each category in two steps: First, we selected obvious handpicked terms (like \u201cself-driving\u201d and \u201cTesla\u201d for the Tesla category, or \u201cBiden\u201d and \u201cwoke mind virus\u201d for the politics category). Next, we calculated which other terms occurred disproportionately in tweets matching the handpicked keywords (compared with those that didn\u2019t match the handpicked keywords). Reporters added the terms that directly related to the categories \u2014 on the theory that if term A and term B frequently co-occur in posts about a given topic, term B probably relates to that same topic alone. This keyword expansion ensures that terms like \u201clithium\u201d that relate to Tesla\u2019s business but sometimes occur alone are used to flag Tesla-related tweets.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Finally, we examined a subset of posts matching each keyword set to estimate precision \u2014 ensuring that the vast majority of posts tagged as Tesla really are about Tesla. Our keywords don\u2019t match every post relevant to the topics, especially when Musk uses technical terms or refers to short-lived political controversies.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Elon Musk\u2019s X feed becomes megaphone for his far-right politics\u00a9\u00a0Julia Nikhinson\/AP If you followed Elon Musk on Twitter in November 2021, you would have been bombarded with posts about Tesla and SpaceX, his two\u00a0most valuable\u00a0companies.
