Elon Musk's and X's Role in 2024 Election Interference, a letter from an alleged X whistleblower. "What started as US election interference has now spread to other countries. We're currently doing the same thing in Germany and other European nations." theconcernedbird.substack.com/p/elon-musks...
I'm writing this with a heavy heart and no small amount of fear. As a former X (formerly Twitter) employee on an H1B visa, I can't reveal my identity without risking everything, but I can't stay silent any longer about what I saw and was made to do.

When Elon Musk took over, everything changed. What started as a social media company became something much darker. I was part of a team that was directly ordered to manipulate Twitter's systems to influence the 2024 US presidential election. It wasn't subtle, and it wasn't ethical.

We completely changed how the algorithm worked, pushing pro-Trump and right-wing posts to the top of people's feeds. To make it look balanced, we also boosted some left-wing critics of Democrats, but it was all carefully calculated. These changes didn't just affect Americans - they impacted users worldwide.

One of the most disturbing things we did was create thousands of fake accounts using advanced AI systems called Grok and Eliza. These accounts looked completely real and pushed political messages that spread like wildfire. Havn't you noticed they all disappeared? Like magic.

We also knowingly allowed foreign governments to manipulate the platform. State-backed groups from Israel, Iran, and Russia were running their own influence campaigns, and because their goals aligned with ours, we looked the other way. Even when they clearly broke the rules, we didn't stop them.Perhaps the most unethical part was how we manufactured news stories. One team would write completely fake articles, while another team would artificially boost their engagement metrics to make them go viral. We specifically targeted certain groups of people, knowing exactly how to manipulate their views and emotions.

The moderation team became a tool for our agenda. We systematically silenced anyone who got in our way, enforcing the rules when it suited us and ignoring them when it didn't. Elon Musk himself was deeply involved in these decisions, often joking about being "Black Hat MAGA."

What started as US election interference has now spread to other countries. We're currently doing the same thing in Germany and other European nations. The damage we've done is immeasurable, and I don't know if it can ever be fixed. People don't know what's real anymore, and that's exactly what we wanted.

The pilot program for the Eliza AI Agent, was election interference. Eliza was release officially in October of 2024, but we had access to it before then thanks to Marc Andreessen.

I'm terrified to be writing this, but I had to speak up. I just hope that someone with the power to do something about this sees this letter. You'll know what i’m saying is the truth by Elon's actions to the news someone spoke out. For more evidence look at the docs of Eliza AI Agent software. We left bread crumbs.

Yours sincerely,

A former employee who can't sleep at night.

While we’re banning books… Finland is teaching children in school how to recognize fake news and propaganda as part of critical thinking and civic responsibility. Some of this will seem very familiar. Be. Like. Finland.

Elon Musk, owner of X, tweeted that Home Office Minister Jess Phillips "deserves to be in prison" and labelled her a "rape genocide apologist" This is the type of radicalised content that socialises people towards violence against Ministers and MPs www.thelondoneconomic.com/news/starmer...

Starmer urged to take action as 'out of control' Musk targets Jess Phillips
Days after calling for X posts to be "more positive", Musk has dubbed Jess Phillips a "rape genocide apologist".

If they are encouraging people to buy memberships of reform for other people then those new members are irrelevant because it’s not their choice. Will reform offer a money back guarantee if they don’t want that present?

Farmers Protest. I cannot be persuaded that these protesting farmers are so poor when they can waste so much money driving their expensive fuel guzzling 5 mpg Tractors 🚜 to Westminster and sip Champagne 🥂. It’s pure tax evasion. Government response should be to charge 40% tax same as everyone else

“Some 56% of farmland bought in 2023 was sold to landowners who were not working farmers. The revenue per acre is too low to warrant the purchase, unless you are extremely wealthy and are avoiding inheritance tax”

Whose land? Tax avoidance and the broken economics of British farming
Noise in the billionaire press about inheritance tax changes hides a basic fact: the non-farming rich own too much land

This is total manipulation of statistics. In certain cultures the firstborn son will ALWAYS be called Muhammad, while other cultures use such a wide range of first names. This post on X is purely to feed racists and it’s working as intended

I do wish that BBCQT would use Clacton for a show because then we could guarantee that Nigel Farage definitely would not be on the panel. They only have 5 MPs FFS! Why do the media give him so much airtime?

MONTHS AFTER Joe said he would not pardon Hunter, Trump won the election & appointed a man as FBI Director who has spent the last 4 years on every right-wing podcast ranting that he was going to go after Hunter. Obsessed with him. Were you aware of that, critics? Not relevant?

You should do this permanently. Kuenssberg is a terribly biased presenter. BBC News needs to be objective and fair, she is neither. Her blatant partisan approach to interviews is there for all to see.

A good start would be to sort out the BBC. Sack the Tory managers and also the useless journalists and presenters; Examples are Kuenssberg, Mason, Robinson, Fiona Bruce, all overpaid Tories. The appalling bias is shocking and insulting to all licence payers. Stop Tory propaganda, report facts news.

Let’s all take a moment to congratulate Daniel ‘unelected bureaucrat’ Hannan for this masterclass in hypocrisy and abuse of power. Someone sitting in the House of Lords (however dubiously) should *not* be signing this idiotic petition. But good to have his total lack of integrity confirmed. Again.
Daniel Hannan posts that he has signed the petition calling for a general election and lists things he doesn’t think they have a mandate for:
“Farm tax
Chagos surrender 
Woke national curriculum” 🤪
Extract from The Express with photo of Hannan.

“Daniel Hannan, one of the original Brexiters, has hit out at calls for a second referendum on the UK’s EU membership saying they would trigger a crisis of democracy”

The excitement from Conservatives about the general election petition shows they haven't yet adjusted to what a landslide majority truly means (partly because the last one was so long ago: 2001-05).
