About

Elon Musk's @America Twitter / X Account refers to the Twitter / X account America or @america, which is reportedly owned by Elon Musk for his political action committee (PAC) called the America PAC that supported Republican candidate and former President Donald Trump in the 2024 U.S. Presidential Election. The @America account amassed viral criticism and backlash in 2024 because many viewed it as a propaganda machine. Users also criticized X owner Elon Musk for his involvement with the account and speculated that he was using it to sway public opinion before Election Day. The perception was worsened by Musk's claims to depoliticize X when he acquired the company, with some seeing him as a hypocrite for the promise by November 2024.

History

The original @America Twitter account shared its first tweet on March 28th, 2007, per the site's earliest archive in the Wayback Machine (shown below).[1] By November 2022, the account had amassed over 7,800 followers.[2]

The account was purchased by Elon Musk's PAC, the America PAC, sometime before October 5th, 2024, as the account's first tweet under the new ownership was shared on October 5th, receiving over 8,600 likes in a month (shown below). The tweet concerned conservative views on illegal immigration and attacked acting President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris.

Hey Elon, last I checked IT WAS YOUR PEOPLE WHO CLAIMED THE LAST ELECTION WAS STOLEN, STARTED A RIOT TO TRY AND KILL THE PEOPLE CERTIFYING BIDEN'S WIN AND HAS BEEN DOING EVERYTHING IN THEIR POWER TO STEAL THE VOTE THIS TIME AROUND! So get out of here with that "If Trump wins we'll never have another election" bullshit.
