We don't know who's going to win tomorrow. But we do know that Elon Musk will promote false claims of voter fraud to tens of millions of people — and that X will be a central clearinghouse for conspiracy theories in the days ahead www.platformer.news/x-election-e...
Of course, voter fraud is only one narrative that may come to the fore in the weeks ahead. There are likely still some surprises in store — the results of a foreign influence campaign, or generative artificial intelligence, or some combination of the two. But whatever dirty tricks are coming, expect X to be at the center of them. Its historical role as the best place to turn to for breaking news means that millions of Americans will be returning there for real-time updates. And its post-2022 incarnation as a right-wing political project means that many of them might not apply the skepticism that is warranted to whatever Musk decides to show them.

Our nation and its leaders must never be afraid to speak the truth about our past.
Screenshot of a post by @JoeBiden (on the social platform X) that says: 'It was about slavery.' This is a quote repost of a post by @BidenHQ that says: 'Asked what caused the Civil War, Nikki Haley refuses to mention slavery: “What do you want me to say about slavery? Next question.”' This is accompanied by a video of this exchange between Haley and the journalist.
