X Whistleblower on how they conducted election interference

[TrailGuy 552]

To Whom It May Concern,

I'm writing this with a heavy heart and no small amount of fear. As a former X (formerly Twitter) employee on an H1B visa, I can't reveal my identity without risking everything, but I can't stay silent any longer about what I saw and was made to do.

When Elon Musk took over, everything changed. What started as a social media company became something much darker. I was part of a team that was directly ordered to manipulate Twitter's systems to influence the 2024 US presidential election. It wasn't subtle, and it wasn't ethical.

We completely changed how the algorithm worked, pushing pro-Trump and right-wing posts to the top of people's feeds. To make it look balanced, we also boosted some left-wing critics of Democrats, but it was all carefully calculated. These changes didn't just affect Americans - they impacted users worldwide.

One of the most disturbing things we did was create thousands of fake accounts using advanced AI systems called Grok and Eliza. These accounts looked completely real and pushed political messages that spread like wildfire. Havn't you noticed they all disappeared? Like magic.

We also knowingly allowed foreign governments to manipulate the platform. State-backed groups from Israel, Iran, and Russia were running their own influence campaigns, and because their goals aligned with ours, we looked the other way. Even when they clearly broke the rules, we didn't stop them.

Perhaps the most unethical part was how we manufactured news stories. One team would write completely fake articles, while another team would artificially boost their engagement metrics to make them go viral. We specifically targeted certain groups of people, knowing exactly how to manipulate their views and emotions.

The moderation team became a tool for our agenda. We systematically silenced anyone who got in our way, enforcing the rules when it suited us and ignoring them when it didn't. Elon Musk himself was deeply involved in these decisions, often joking about being "Black Hat MAGA."

What started as US election interference has now spread to other countries. We're currently doing the same thing in Germany and other European nations. The damage we've done is immeasurable, and I don't know if it can ever be fixed. People don't know what's real anymore, and that's exactly what we wanted.

The pilot program for the Eliza AI Agent, was election interference. Eliza was release officially in October of 2024, but we had access to it before then thanks to Marc Andreessen.

I'm terrified to be writing this, but I had to speak up. I just hope that someone with the power to do something about this sees this letter. You'll know what i’m saying is the truth by Elon's actions to the news someone spoke out. For more evidence look at the docs of Eliza AI Agent software. We left bread crumbs.

Yours sincerely,

A former employee who can't sleep at night.

Pathetic pity bump.

The far-left STILL in pieces and hysterical.  Like hysterical monkey's throwing feces.

“Fortified” is the term you’re looking for.  At least, that’s what it was called when the Dems wrangled in all of social media and MSM to influence their message in 2020. 

[TimHauck 2,604]

Not sure I buy some of these claims like making up news stories.  There were plenty of right wing trolls doing that on their own.

But x was confirmed to be politically biased when they confiscated the @America handle.  Which is their right as a private company, it just further proved that Elon is a hypocrite

It has been permanently burned into my brain by democrats that election interference is not possible in this country......that the integrity of the votes is without question & that no shenanigans are possible. 

[supermike80 1,800]

Awesome.  Now do the democrats in 2020 please

[CaptainObvious1 324]

Was totally fine in 2020 when the media did this.  But now it's wrong?  You reap what you sow, democrat a-holes.

Was totally wrong when Twitter did something close but much much less damaging, but now that Musk does it x100 it's fine.  It's clear who the hypocritical a-holes are.

I put as much faith in that letter as I do the "proof" the righties share as evidence of 2020 fraud.

I got you boyo.

Could this be fake?  Of course.  Could it be real?  Absolutely,

It's a piece of evidence in a picture that looks very damning for Musk and X.  I mean, the guy gave hundreds of millions of dollars to Trump, he paid people in PA a million dollars a day to vote.  He lived in Mar a lago for weeks after the election.  Trump thanked him for winning PA because he knew the voting computers so well.  He said anything can be hacked.

Smoke boyo, smoke....

Thanks for sharing. For now it's just a blog post with zero supporting information. I'll treat it as BS until more info is available, if that ever happens.

Is believing that OP part of the intelligent discussion you want?

"Hi, I'm an H1B code monkey who was banging keys in a windowless room, but I was privy to these 927342 ways that X manipulated the election.  And I'm the only one reporting it, because a conspiracy on this grand of a scale never gets out.  Wheee!"

I agree, but this might not be the approach you want to take, given the propensity of people around here to believe every conspiracy they hear about libs/dems. You yourself believe there may have been "tinkering" with the 2020 election...

Oh, I would not be surprised if Elon tweaked a few knobs here or there.  If we get some credible evidence we can discuss it.

Agree again. Regrettably, even if completely true, it's still kind of a nothingburger given the current state. It's not like we're going to revoke Trump's presidency or his DOJ would ever go after Musk. Until they fall out, anyway.
