X, the social media platform owned by Trump megadonor Elon Musk, is promoting Trump campaign-curated content to all U.S. users, regardless of whether they have opted out of Trump-related content.

On the platform formerly known as Twitter, banner ads for the Trump campaign donning the #Trump2024 tag appear for all U.S. users, even those who’ve blocked words, topics, and hashtags related to the candidate or his campaign or muted the advertiser.

Additionally, the #MAGA tag displays an edited image of the former president from his attempted assassination and the #Trump2024 hashtag displays an American flag.

It is unclear whether the Trump campaign paid for the images on the #Trump2024 and #MAGA tags, though an advertisement for the tag on the site’s trending page reads “Promoted by Team Trump.” As Mashable noted, it is the first time the platform has enabled the image feature to promote a specific political candidate.

Clicking the Trump2024 tag also prompts American flag graphics to flood the screen.

    you’re massively misunderstanding the whole political spectrum but i don’t have the energy

    I understand that politics is multi-faceted however the chart I responded to is 2D.

    maybe we should give this whole “having black people freely move around” a second thought, what do you think?

    Because that’s what I’m saying 🙄 Calling someone a racist or a nazi for not hating all of human history is a low-tier cop out but go ahead and take your upvotes.

    liberals are not and have never been left wing

    Remember I responded to a meme chart

    Also for every inch the democrats have moved to the left, republicans have moved a mile to the right

    Literally just an opinion.
