Elon Musk Scrutinized for 100 Interactions with Russia-Backed Influencers on X
Sep 6, 2024, 01:40 PM
Elon Musk, the world's richest man and CEO of Tesla, has come under scrutiny for his interactions with right-wing influencers allegedly backed by a Russia-funded company. According to reports, Musk has had at least one hundred interactions with these influencers on his social media platform X, formerly known as Twitter, mostly since 2022. The influencers, including Tim Pool, Dave Rubin, and Benny Johnson, are associated with Tenet Media, which publishes content on various social media platforms. Allegations suggest that Russian oligarchs Petr Aven and Vadim Moshkovich, both with ties to Vladimir Putin, were among the investors who helped finance Musk's purchase of X. The self-titled 'free speech absolutist' has loosened the network’s restrictions on what can be posted. These interactions have raised concerns about the spread of Kremlin-funded disinformation in the United States.
