Elon Musk's campaign posts received twice as many views on X (formerly Twitter) as those posted by the campaigns of candidates in the presidential race. This statement was made by the non-governmental organization (NGO) Center for Countering Digital Hate (CCDH).
Elon Musk's political posts have received 17.1 billion views since he endorsed Donald Trump in July, more than twice as many US election campaign posts as X registered as political ads during the same period. ", says the report on the NGO website. According to her information, political campaigns received 7.7 billion views during the same period.
In total, from July 13 to October 25, as analysts calculated, Musk published 746 posts related to the presidential election. According to CCDH, an election campaign with the number of views that the entrepreneur collected would have cost $24 million. In reality, about $10.7 million could have been spent on these purposes from July to October, according to the NGO. Musk had previously supported Donald Trump in the US elections. Since July, the entrepreneur has donated at least $75 million to a political committee he created that supports the Republican presidential candidate. Trump admitted that if he wins, he will appoint Musk to some post in his administration.
