The tweet, which garnered over 500,000 likes in under an hour, was quickly followed by a hashtag campaign: #BoycottABC. Musk’s legions of fans, ranging from crypto enthusiasts to Tesla fanboys, jumped on board, turning the call for a boycott into one of the top trending topics on X.
But the tech mogul didn’t stop there. As if leading the digital charge wasn’t enough, Musk went on to suggest alternative ways to hold future debates. “Why not stream the debates on X?” Musk suggested. “No filters, no biased moderators—just straight talk. We’ll make it happen, and you can bet there won’t be any interruptions when the candidates speak.”
Musk’s crusade against ABC is just the latest in his ongoing feud with traditional media. For years, the Tesla and SpaceX CEO has railed against what he sees as corporate media’s bias and inefficiency. Whether it’s calling out news organizations for what he considers unfair coverage of his companies or sparking debates about freedom of speech, Musk has long made it clear that he sees social media and direct communication as the future of news.
