Elon Musk has claimed that Kamala Harris will shut down X, formerly known as Twitter, if she wins the 2024 US presidential election.
Speaking on the Joe Rogan Experience podcast in an episode released on Monday, 4 November, the billionaire declared that there was “no way” the Democratic candidate’s “puppet regime” would allow the social media platform to exist.
Mr. Musk made the claim as he told the host that he is still navigating “advertiser boycotts” initiated by “left-wing NGOs” after he bought Twitter.
“If Kamala wins, we will see that boycott get stronger. And they will freaking shut down [X].”
Meanwhile, the $1 million-a-day voter sweepstakes that Elon Musk ‘s political action committee is hosting in swing states can continue through Tuesday’s presidential election, a Pennsylvania judge ruled Monday.
Common Pleas Court Judge Angelo Foglietta — ruling after Musk’s lawyers said the winners are paid spokespeople and not chosen by chance — did not immediately explain his reasoning.
District Attorney Larry Krasner, a Democrat, had called the process a scam “designed to actually influence a national election” and asked that it be shut down.
Musk lawyer Chris Gober said the final two recipients before Tuesday’s presidential election will be in Arizona on Monday and Michigan on Tuesday.
