boost his posts and favor his interests, per 2023 reports and (cut off)

Sam Altman @sama:
This is a remarkable claim given what I have heard alleged that Elon does to
manipulate X to benefit himself and his own companies and harm his
competitors and people he doesn't like.

Quoted tweet by Elon Musk @elonmusk:
Apple is behaving in a manner that makes it impossible for any Al
company besides OpenAl to reach #1 in the App Store, which is an
unequivocal antitrust violation.
xAl will take immediate legal action.

Community note for Musk's tweet:
Readers added context
In January 2025, DeepSeek reached #1 overall on the App Store.

Just one month ago, on July 18, 2025, Perplexity also reached #1 overall
in India’s App Store.

Tesla has stopped paying some suppliers and others.

"Tesla (TSLA) is not paying its bills and it is destroying small American businesses"

"In Texas, contractors have filed liens for more than $110 million against Tesla in the last five years"

This is Americas future.
The growth of Trumpism.

Contractors and small businesses who supported trump, what are you going to do? Vote them out?

You can tell that capitalism is working because the first trillionaire is going to be someone who owns a car company that sells clown cars which fall apart when they’re not exploding and locking you in, a rocket company that builds exploding rockets, a tunnel company that does nothing, and the most antisocial social media platform there is.
