The Democrat elites like to pretend that X is just some right-wing misinformation echo chamber.
Elon Musk’s conversation with Donald Trump pushed them to take drastic measures.
And the CEO of X gave Democrats a reality check after the historic interview with Donald Trump.
Musk’s interview with Trump faced major pushback
Donald Trump and Elon Musk broke records when they streamed an exclusive interview on an X Space earlier this month.
The pair celebrated when posts related to the conversation generated over 2.9 billion impressions on the platform.
Over 25 million people have listened to the conversation in its entirety.
The conversation faced stiff opposition and almost didn’t happen.
A Washington Post reporter requested that the White House do something to stop the interview due to “misinformation.”
A massive cyberattack was committed at the onset of the interview and European Union Commissioner Thierry Breton published an open letter threatening to shut the platform down for misinformation.
But the interview went off without fail.
X CEO Linda Yaccarino celebrated the historic moment.
“Real conversation on Real issues has ushered in a new expectation of the American people,” she wrote.

This is why the establishment pushed so hard to stop it from happening.
X has more Democrats than Republicans
X partners with an organization called Causeway Solutions for polling and research on the platform.
The company, headquartered in Metairie, Louisiana, was founded by CEO Bill Skelly and promises “Data Done Right.”
According to their research, X has more Democrats than Republicans
Yaccarino shared their research ahead of the Trump/Musk interview.
“Before you tune in tonight to the Spaces with @elonmusk and @realdonaldtrump, here’s some data about who is on the X platform in the U.S.,” she wrote.
Before you tune in tonight to the Spaces with @elonmusk and @realdonaldtrump, here’s some data about who is on the X platform in the U.S.:

Causeway said that X has 37 million Democrats, 34 million swing voters, and 32 million Republicans—many of them falling within key demographics.
And Trump’s interview with Musk hit the sweet spot.
According to X’s internal data, 87 percent of Trump’s audience was between the ages of 25 and 44.

Democrats are not happy about these figures for an obvious reason.
Mark Cuban gets owned in “MAGA Country” poll
Leftist personalities have claimed that X has shifted hard towards right wing politics since Musk purchased it.
Perhaps the most influential among them is Mark Cuban.
In late July, Cuban set out on a research project to confirm his expectation that X is “MAGA country.”
The poll was prompted by a reply to a previous poll where he was trying to figure out “who is currently the low energy candidate for President.”
According to the 733,000 votes, nearly 62 percent of people believed Kamala was the “low energy candidate.”

One user mocked him by saying that he should have run the poll on Threads and called him a “loser.”
8.8 million followers and his own poll is getting ratioed 🤣🤣
Run this poll on Threads loser, X is MAGA country— Vince Langman (@LangmanVince) July 25, 2024
“I think the man is right. @X is MAGA country. So let’s do a poll and find out!” Cuban said in response.
I think the man is right. @X is MAGA country. So let’s do a poll and find out ! https://t.co/c1jSLhhHqo

In the end, more than 250,000 people took his survey and nearly two-thirds said that X is MAGA country.
Is @X MAGA country

But if Yaccarino’s internal data and Cuban’s polling data are correct, then that would mean self-described Democrats are also “MAGA.”
It’s much more likely that Cuban is followed by many people who hate him and they simply just piled on his poll.
