The Guardian blamed the owner of the former Twitter for influencing his new style. “The United States presidential election campaign only served to underline what we have long considered: that X is a toxic media platform and that its owner, Elon Musk, has been able to use his influence to shape political discourse,” highlighted the English media.
Despite these criticisms, they will not prevent users from sharing their notes on X, although they will encourage them to visit their official website. “Our journalism is available and open to all on our website and we would prefer people to support our work there. Fortunately, we can do it because our business model does not depend on viral content adapted to the whims of the algorithms of social media giants; Instead, we finance ourselves directly thanks to our readers,” he concluded.
