Elon Musk has taken over the @America username on X, formerly Twitter. It is used to promote former President Donald Trump in the 2024 election against Vice President Kamala Harris. Musk’s control of this high-profile handle, which previously belonged to another user, is part of his growing alignment with right-wing politics. The account now advocates for Trump’s campaign, echoing Musk’s recent shift in political views.
The change comes just before Musk appeared on stage with Trump at a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania. This rally was a follow-up to an earlier event that was cut short when Trump was shot in the ear. The former user of the @America handle, who had criticized both Musk and Trump in the past, now holds a different username. At the same time, Musk has repurposed the account to push for policies on issues like border security and free speech.
Musk’s actions are no surprise, given his history of using his social media platform to voice his political opinions. His personal X account bio now directs followers to the @America page, further amplifying his support for Trump. This move also raises questions about Musk’s use of platform ownership to influence political discourse, as this isn't the first time he has taken over dormant accounts on X under its inactivity policies.
