X, the social media platform owned by Trump megadonor Elon Musk, is promoting Trump campaign-curated content to all U.S. users, regardless of whether they have opted out of Trump-related content.
On the platform formerly known as Twitter, banner ads for the Trump campaign donning the #Trump2024 tag appear for all U.S. users, even those who’ve blocked words, topics, and hashtags related to the candidate or his campaign or muted the advertiser.
Additionally, the #MAGA tag displays an edited image of the former president from his attempted assassination and the #Trump2024 hashtag displays an American flag.
It is unclear whether the Trump campaign paid for the images on the #Trump2024 and #MAGA tags, though an advertisement for the tag on the site’s trending page reads “Promoted by Team Trump.” As Mashable noted, it is the first time the platform has enabled the image feature to promote a specific political candidate.
Clicking the Trump2024 tag also prompts American flag graphics to flood the screen.
It is true. And that’s OK. Failure to change with the times and to learn from scientific advancements and social improvements is a conservative trait.
You are accurate, but it begs the question: Is not changing your opinions with time and new info a respectable way to live your life? Will you be on the right side of history? Who knows? But I feel like giving people more options is more often better than the alternative.
Literally lolled at this. This post is in response to a “far right” Elon Musk who owns the first company to ever fire a rocket into space, retrieve and reuse it. I’m sure he’s just taking credit for all the bleeding heart liberal geniuses working under him.
🥱 Wow way to load your rebuttal to make yourself seem so erudite and above it all. The reality is that a ton of the “new info” turns out to be proven false or even to be outright lies. The reality is that you should be incredibly suspicious of “new info” because chances are it hasn’t been properly vetted and could be driven by an agenda similar to how companies fund research to prove their desired conclusions.
Hey I was trying to say your point was valid but I guess you’d rather be told to go fuck yourself? /shrug
Be honest. You were shitting on conservatives not agreeing with me.

I actually think young liberal folk are the ones downvoting you not conservatives. I’m pretty liberal myself but I lived through the changes in the world so I can see how someone can feel left behind when they considereal themselves moderate or liberal their whole lives and now they’re being called conservative when they haven’t changed beliefs at all.
