Matt Taibbi flushed his career fully down the toilet trying to raise a fuss about Twitter's former management supposedly biasing the platform against Trump in subtle ways, and you're laughing??
Elon Musk plans to spend election night with Donald Trump, giving the former president direct access to the person controlling X, a key information platform, on what could be a chaotic evening.
Musk to Spend Election Night With Trump at Mar-a-Lago
Elon Musk has spent $119 million on a super PAC supporting Donald Trump and held events on his behalf. But his ownership of X is especially valuable.
