It's more complicated than just the ability to post. Never discount the power of the algorithm. And that can be tinkered with:

Musk is very vocal about his far-right views. He's anti-union, anti-public health, etc.
>how are they amplified considering anybody can post anything?
Anyone can post anything, but Musk can and has systemically prioritized his tweets over organic content.
I'd be interested in any sort of proof.
> Musk is very vocal about his far-right views. He's anti-union, anti-public health, etc.
Please show specific examples of his far-right views, so I can understand what specifically you mean by that term other than things you personally find disagreeable.
Have you been paying attention? https://www.theverge.com/2023/2/14/23600358/elon-musk-tweets... "This story is based on interviews with people familiar with the events involved and supported by documents obtained by Platformer."

>If we keep throwing that around when we mean right leaning or politically right views then anyone on the right is going to be "far-right
The GOP is a far-right political party. They are fundamentally anti-democracy.
>and we're never going to work together.
We aren't going to work together regardless because the far-right GOP doesn't want the same things as most Americans. They are a political minority that can wreak havoc on the country due to poorly thought electoral systems.
>I think that the other comments to you are to point out where Elon has fascist or Nazism beliefs.
There is more to the far-right than having Nazism beliefs. American far-right is Christian Fascist. Elon Musk is a fascist a la Henry Ford.
He provides vocal and material support to fascist and far-right causes such as vaccine conspiracies and transphobia. He's anti-labor, anti-safety regulations.
I'm guessing you're one of those folks who want to pretend he's not far-right until he openly wears a swastika.
My pronouns are Prosecute/Fauci
> In five words, Musk manages to mock transgender and nonbinary people, signal his disdain for public-health officials, and send up a flare to far-right shitposters and trolls.Heh. I have a disdain for throwing shade and hyperbole, am I also far right cmh89? :)
I don't know. How often do you pal around with far-right people and help spread their rhetoric? That would be a good indicator. If it looks like a duck, quacks like a duck, and walks like a duck, its probably a duck.
Likewise, Musk has adopted far-right talking points, wants far-right approval, and supports far-right causes. He's probably a duck huh
When any amount of right wing is far right, it just show how far left your perspective is. And if you think far right is in any way worse than far left, that's just more evidence of the same. They're the same people, just with opposite causes.
