For every dollar donated by billionaires and their immediate families to a candidate or committee associated with Democrats, five dollars went to Republicans. Much of that was a result of ultrawealthy people in the tech industry, who aligned with Mr. Trump’s tax and deregulation policies. More than a dozen billionaires were awarded roles in his administration. And these explicit money flows don’t capture the immense effect of other deployments of billionaires’ wealth, notably the subversion of both conventional and social media. Elon Musk purchased Twitter in 2022 and quickly began converting it into the Nazi-friendly cesspool it is today—and no, that’s not hyperbole. How much did this contribute to the degradation of public discourse? Paramount, controlled by Larry Ellison and run by his son, has taken over CBS News—which is rapidly going downhill—and is on the verge of taking over CNN too. And Jeff Bezos is gutting The Washington Post, although kudos to the remaining reporters who are still trying to do their jobs. There is, however, something that is still puzzling me: To a large extent billionaires bought themselves a government friendly to their

The #LeaveX campaign endorses that! This was posted from a train traveling from Bordeaux to Paris.

EN: The X algorithm is doing a thorough job: reach on #X is minimal. Criticism of #Trump, #AfD and #Musk (with 900 followers) is displayed in the low single digits within an hour. The same posts achieve 10 to 100 times as many views […]

Front cover of the book 'Elon Musk en 50 tweets' by David Chavalarias, featuring a stylized image of Elon Musk with sunglasses, a leather jacket, and a gold chain, along with a rocket illustration and the publisher's logo 'Seuil'.
Back cover of a French book titled with a description about the first 100 days of the 47th U.S. president, featuring a rocket and moon illustration. The text discusses Elon Musk's worldview, methods, and alliances, and is authored by David Chavalarias.
I just received the latest book from @davidchavalarias, directly from him. It examines the person trying to destroy our democracies and the methods being used.
Merci beaucoup, David !

I'm not kidding. While arriving in Paris, I heard three teenagers discussing some posts on X on the train.

An Impressionist-style painting in an ornate gold frame shows a young woman in a light gray dress sitting in a garden with red flowers and greenery. She looks down while holding and using a modern smartphone, which has been painted in the same soft, impressionistic brushstroke style as the rest of the artwork.
“The Girl in the Garden”, by Mary Cassatt, adapted to modern times.
She scrolls through X, a feed full of child abuse and hate speech, while the bourgeoisie politely looks away.

"a candidate with qualities uniquely tailored to the digital age," Trump attracted free mainstream coverage by creating controversy. By one estimate, the Twitter accounts of MSNBC, CNN, CBS, and NBC—four outlets that no one could accuse of pro-Trump leanings—mentioned Trump twice as often as his general election rival, Hillary Clinton. According to another study, Trump enjoyed up to $2 billion in free media coverage during the primary season.

To move away from the corporate "socials" like Insta, Youtube, X/Twitter etc to decentralised social networks - mainly the #Fediverse - the challenges not only include the provisioning of the tech.

Infographic titled "Big Tech and the Far Right" featuring a silhouette of Elon Musk with his arm raised, symbolizing influence and power. Key Elements: Main Headline: "Elon Musk’s platform and money is growing extremist parties and causes worldwide." Supporting Text: "Algorithmic manipulation" "Meeting with far-right leaders" "Public support for far-right causes" Visuals: A bar graph-like illustration at the bottom shows country flags (USA, France, Italy, Brazil, Argentina, UK, El Salvador, Germany, South Africa, Spain) with swastika symbols growing from the ground, indicating the rise of far-right movements in these countries. A small inset graph from Sky News 2025 shows that new X (formerly Twitter) users received twice as much right-wing (60%) content as left-wing (32%). Another inset graph from Sky News 2025 indicates that over 50% of political content shown to new X users included dehumanizing language, endorsement of violence, or conspiracy theories, with 51% classified as "Extreme" and 49% as "Not extreme." News headlines embedded in the infographic: "Elon Musk Receives Chainsaw Gift from Javier Milei at CPAC" "Elon Musk dropped near $300M supporting Donald Trump in 2024" The infographic visually communicates the alleged role of Elon Musk’s platform and financial influence in promoting far-right ideologies globally.
Big Tech and the Far Right: Musk’s growing political role illustrates how concentrated private power in the tech sector is fuelling fascism. Through control of a major social media platform, amplification of far-right narratives and direct engagement with […]

A tipping point Based on data updated in December for a keynote at the Social Media in Higher Education for Learning and Teaching conference, a tipping point is near. That is, when another thirteen universities cease activity or announce they are leaving X, more universities will be off X than on. Indeed this tipping point may already have been reached, making universities that engage with X the minority. The reasons why these institutions have remained are varied. Although the putative size and reach of X’s audience is likely a key driver, as is the unwillingness to surrender the seeming influence of large follower counts built up over years. Needless to say whilst the last few years have seen inertia, many senior leadership teams will be reconsidering this question at this very moment.
