Elon Musk is getting much of his information from far-right sources on X, the social media platform he bought for $44 billion in 2022 .
The richest man in the world is getting some of the most extreme information he is sharing with his more than 216 million followers.
Musk recently shared a post from the account iamyesyouareno, which has more than 430,000 followers on X.
The billionaire has shared posts from far-right white posters from the Netherlands and Sweden .
Musk has also endorsed a post calling for “ more immigration of White South Africans” on the grounds that they are “ one of the few population groups that are fiscally positive when immigrating to Europe ”.
In reality, Elez was well into his twenties when he made those statements. Nevertheless, Vance , who is married to the daughter of Indian immigrants, added, “I say bring him back.” Later on Friday , Musk responded to Vance by declaring Elez would indeed be “brought back.”.
