Elon Musk's X pushes Trump tags on all US users

cross-posted from: lemmy.ml/post/18147280

X, the social media platform owned by Trump megadonor Elon Musk, is promoting Trump campaign-curated content to all U.S. users, regardless of whether they have opted out of Trump-related content.

On the platform formerly known as Twitter, banner ads for the Trump campaign donning the tag appear for all U.S. users, even those who’ve blocked words, topics, and hashtags related to the candidate or his campaign or muted the advertiser.

Additionally, the tag displays an edited image of the former president from his attempted assassination and the hashtag displays an American flag.

It is unclear whether the Trump campaign paid for the images on the and tags, though an advertisement for the tag on the site’s trending page reads “Promoted by Team Trump.” As Mashable noted, it is the first time the platform has enabled the image feature to promote a specific political candidate.

Clicking the Trump2024 tag also prompts American flag graphics to flood the screen.

All this simping for him and Trump just announced he's going to destroy the EV credits cause EVs are too expensive. Remind me, isn't oil still to this day subsidized by taxpayers?

Wouldn’t this be a great opportunity to flood that hashtag with content that talks about project 2025? Or the Epstein list?

Hahaha! They could have left Xshitter when it was time.

They can still leave Usa while there is time.

Hopefully this will enrage the users enough to go and actually vote against Trump.

Buying or owning Tesla, or using his bullshit is supporting Trump.

Yup. I call Tesla’s “Muskmobiles” and have a lot of contempt for the people driving them. I assume these people are Trumpers.

If people don’t want this association, then replace the logo or sell the thing.
