It's hard for me to agree with you however he has 290+ MILLION followers, Trump has 90 Million. NONE that is no other media/internet/cable TV/newspaper platform give the democrats (ANY DEMOCRAT) even 1 Million they don't even give them 500K so it's not that I want to "prove" you wrong but the obvious is X is far from broken but when an interview with Trump gets 100 MILLIONS views on X I don't care if the views are 13 years olds the power of that exposure cannot be ignored and they are not ignored, Musk is making Billions and even if we disagree (I do not) but the X platform is not only free speech but it has a fact checker that is far more accurate than anything on any other media. This is not a criticism of your post because I can see how emotions / feelings can cloud opinions but the reality is X is HUGE.

Kamala Was the Actual Tie-Breaking Vote on "Inflation Reduction Act" cover up bill name that contains a massive crackdown on "Waitresses' Tips" after the 87,000 IRS newly hired agents by the Biden-Harris administration. Biden and Harris do not have the mental capacity or experience to create jobs otherwise he would get hunter a decent job. Any financial short comings including illegal alien’s benefits, they will rake it from taxpayers. Illegal aliens are their 2nd top priority. Besides these are their future voters, they will be their workforce to do their communist dream of slavery. After all, democrat’s motto is to live free, happy, just wacked-out and trolling all day long with an iPhone from under the bridge Owning NOTHING!

Trump's last 4 years were everything the opposite of what is happening right now in America, booming economy, low inflation, low living cost, low gas prices, secure border, low illegal immigration, and no world wars because of Trump's Peace Through Strength. Trump talks very straightforwardly, his words may hurt your feelings if you are those kinds, but his policies are much better than Kamala and Biden's.
