Dear John

Progressives aren’t on Truth Social, 4chan, or dark web forums. So why are people still on X? It’s no secret that Elon Musk’s social media platform has veered into dangerous territory, amplifying misinformation, pro-Trump propaganda, and the hateful voices of white supremacists.

Under Musk’s ownership, X has turned into a propaganda machine for Donald Trump and his MAGA allies, pumping out disinformation and catering to the far-right. Beyond X, Musk’s daily $1 million giveaway scheme for registered voters in swing states was blatant vote-buying and election manipulation, and almost assuredly illegal.

Musk and his X platform isn’t about free speech, it's about spreading lies to sway voters and undermine democracy.

The hate speech on X is at an all-time high, and Musk’s changes to the platform’s algorithms make matters worse. Now, posts from extremists and conspiracy theorists get boosted while voices of reason and progress are silenced.

The choice is clear. Don’t stay on X and support Musk’s dangerous agenda. Join us by pledging to abandon X and stand against the lies, hate, and election interference that now define it.

Progressive users, journalists, and everyday people who once relied on X for credible information have left in droves, replaced by voices peddling racist rhetoric and unhinged conspiracy theories.

Elon Musk has torn down every safeguard on X, leaving behind a digital cesspool of toxic content and extremist views. Instead of being a place for open debate and connection, X is now a platform where antisemitic dog whistles, conspiracy theories, and hate speech are tolerated, even encouraged.

Staying on X is supporting a platform that promotes racism and rewards disinformation. Our voices matter, and when we use them to reject platforms that undermine truth and decency, we set a standard. The exodus from X has already begun, and we need everyone who stands for integrity, accountability, and a fair democracy to join in.

Musk might have billions, but he doesn’t have the right to exploit social media for his agenda unchecked. Let’s cut off support for this extremist breeding ground. It's time to walk away. To leave a platform that’s lost its credibility, drowned in propaganda, hate, and divisive rhetoric.

We can still stay connected and fight for what matters on platforms that value truth and accountability. Pledge to abandon X and help take a stand against disinformation and extremism.

Together, we can stand up for a fairer, more truthful media landscape.
