Elon Musk, owner of social media platform X, has repositioned the platform as a fervent supporter of President-elect Donald J. Trump, The New York Times reported. This move is seen as leveraging his influence to push a conservative agenda. Analysts suggest that Trump’s dealings with China may rely on billionaires like Musk. Additionally, Musk’s X has been engaged in a secretive battle against the Department of Justice over access to social media users’ accounts, a conflict that may be influenced by Trump's victory. Vinod Khosla congratulated Musk on Trump’s election win.
