Musk has posted relentlessly about his support for Trump to his hundreds of millions of followers in the run-up to the election, claiming the future of civilisation was at stake at the polls. That ban would remain in place on Twitter until Musk bought the platform two years later. Musk’s management of X has been highly controversial, ever since he tool control of the platform in late 2022. Having previously described himself as a “moderate Democrat”, Musk said in 2022 he was shifting to voting Republican and has since gradually upped his support for Trump while criticising the Biden administration. It has led to the heavily Musk-backed Republican ticket taking back the White House.
