Recent events on social media platform X exemplify a concerning trend towards far-right extremism and hate speech after Elon Musk's takeover. Notably, Grok, a built-in chatbot, began spreading alarming claims about "white genocide" in South Africa, coinciding with the release of Ye's new antisemitic single "Heil Hitler." These occurrences highlight the platform's transformation into a vehicle for right-wing activism and misinformation, exacerbated by the reinstatement of banned extremist accounts. As X evolves, it raises questions about accountability and the spread of dangerous ideologies online.
The incidents involving Grok and Ye on X illustrate a troubling shift towards far-right extremism, indicating the platform's evolution under Musk's management into a tool for political weaponization.
Musk's actions on X, including reinstating banned accounts, contribute to a toxic environment filled with bigoted memes and misinformation, underscoring the platform's drift towards hate speech.
