X reinstates SwapYourVote's account after suspending it as spam In the final days leading up to the U.S. presidential election, Elon Musk's X suspended the official account of a progressive-donor-backed ballot initiative called SwapYourVote. The volunteer-run website tries to get third-party voters in swing states to cast their ballots for Kamala Harris, matching them with Democrats in solidly blue states who agree to vote for the candidate of the swing state voter's choosing. Vote swapping, also called co-voting or vote pairing, is a controversial practice that dates back to America's 2000 presidential election, where more than 36,000 Ralph Nader and Al Gore supporters traded votes.

Elon Musk's false and misleading election claims have been viewed 2 billion times on X The world's richest man buys out one of the most popular social media platforms and uses it as a propaganda and disinformation machine in support of a presidential candidate. An analysis from the Center for Countering Digital Hate (CCDH), a nonprofit that tracks misinformation, found that Elon Musk posted at least 87 claims this year about the U.S. election on X that fact-checkers have rated as false or misleading. CNN first reported on the CCDH's data, noting that Musk has given more than $118 million to a super PAC that is supporting former president Donald Trump for reelection, making Musk the biggest donor to Trump's campaign.
