WSJ Finds Musk-era X Algorithm Pushes Trump-Leaning Political Content to New Users Ahead of Nov. 5 Election
Oct 29, 2024, 02:12 PM
A Wall Street Journal (WSJ) analysis has found that the Musk-era algorithm of X, formerly known as Twitter, is pushing political content to new users regardless of their interests. The WSJ experiment revealed that accounts showing interests in nonpolitical topics such as crafts, sports, and cooking were inundated with partisan posts that lean toward Donald Trump and cast doubt on the integrity of the upcoming November 5 election. This experiment highlights concerns over the platform's role in shaping political discourse and influencing public opinion ahead of the election.
