In Elon Musk, Donald Trump has found one of his strongest supporters – and with his short messaging service X, a broad platform for spreading right-wing conservative content. But are these also preferred there? Yes, say experts, and they not only want to find evidence for this, but also want a specific date as a trigger.
Researchers have been trying to prove for a while that X’s algorithm prefers conservative content. Since Elon Musk took over the short message service in October 2022, right-wing accounts have flourished on the platform to such an extent that observers suspect these accounts could be actively promoted. Researchers now claim to have gathered evidence of this – and have even identified a clear date when X started appearing on the right side.
