Over the weekend, Elon Musk revealed his plans to tweak the algorithm on X to limit negative content and promote information, which is ironic given that he is one of the site's biggest publishers of disinformation and negativity.

Here’s what the shadow president announced on his personal account.

“Algorithm tweak coming soon to promote more informational/ entertaining content…Too much negativity is being pushed that technically grows user time, but not user experience.”

On its face, it seems like Musk is going to suppress disinformation and negative content, but it's curious that he waited until after the election to do so.

Which leads me to believe that Musk is going to ‘tweak the algorithm’ to suppress any negative information about Trump, himself, or the far-right parties he’s supporting across the globe.

Speaking of far-right parties

This weekend, Trump hosted Italy’s far-right Prime Minister, Giorgia Meloni, for dinner at Mar-a-Lago, followed by a screening of a big-lie “documentary” featuring John Eastman — the MAGA lawyer indicted and disbarred for leading Trump’s unlawful efforts to overturn the 2020 election.

They were also joined by several other MAGA sycophants, including Mike Flynn and Rudy Giuliani.

After the meal

Trump called Meloni a “fantastic woman.”

The very next day, it was announced that Italy is in talks to strike a $1.6 billion deal with SpaceX to provide “secure telecommunications for the nation’s government.”

Just a coincidence, I’m sure.

Meanwhile, Trump’s administration is planning to unleash chaos right after the inauguration

Not only is Musk messing with algorithms and leveraging Trump to secure billion-dollar deals abroad while Trump breaks bread with far-right leaders, but the latest report suggests his second term is expected to begin with an unpleasant surprise:
