Wow!

I have found that Musk's support of Advance UK and Operation Raise the Colours (the flags campaign) has skewed the X algorithm so that Tommy Robinson posts now have greater reach than those of Nigel Farage.

Statistics in this thread.
"Musk acts as Kingmaker"

Musk switching allegiance from Reform UK to Advance UK impacts their reach on X and has real-world consequences.

So says Musk's AI bot Grok (which I ask, so Musk can't dismiss the analysis so easily).

Follow me here and on ko-fi (link in bio) for my full analysis.
