Elon Musk Accuses Google of Blocking Trump in Search Engine
Morrissey Technology – Tesla boss Elon Musk accused the technology giant Google of blocking Donald Trump’s name from their search engine.
“Wow, Google is blocking searches for President Donald Trump!” Musk said in a tweet on X.
“Meddling in the election?” he added.
This upload is accompanied by a screenshot of a Google search which produces only two recommendations when the keyword president donald is entered, namely president donald duck and president donald regan. This upload then triggered various responses, one of which was from the @davidgokhshtein account which said that Google was owned by the Democrats.
“They’re going to be in a lot of trouble if they interfere in the election,” Musk countered.
However, according to the results of CNNIndonesia.com’s experiment, when typing the keyword president donald, Google still brought up Donald Trump’s profile, unlike what happened to Musk. Several weeks ago, Musk uploaded a statement saying he “fully supports” former President Trump in the United States (US) election.
This statement was made not long after Trump was shot while giving a campaign speech in Pennsylvania, USA. Bloomberg released a report that Musk donated to a super PAC that supports Trump, and gave “a sizable amount” to his re-election.
The donation, if it does occur, would be a significant development not only in the presidential campaign, but also in the relationship between the two men. The reason is, both have strong support from millions of fans who are ready to believe almost everything they say.
In recent years, Musk has been known to promote the ‘great replacement’ conspiracy theory and support white pride. His endorsement adds to a growing number of influential voices in Silicon Valley promoting the campaign.
After the Trump incident, Musk’s platform was flooded with a number of hashtags, including ‘#falseflag’ and ‘staged’ to users. Despite this, Musk continues to promote “freedom of opinion” on his social media platform, including misinformation like the one above.
