The Facts
The roughly 100K-follower X account "White Dudes for Harris," which represents White men who support US Vice Pres. Kamala Harris, was suspended Monday night following a Zoom video fundraiser hosted by the group that raised $4M for the Harris campaign.
According to one of the account's organizers, X informed them that the suspension was "due to a user report" and for "violating [its] rules against evading suspension."
The Spin
Democratic narrative
Elon Musk — who fuels rumors that the establishment is out to get Trump — is guilty of the same crimes he accuses Democrats of committing. A self-proclaimed free speech absolutist, this latest censorship contradicts everything the billionaire claims to stand for. This decision was clearly aimed at damaging Kamala Harris and her widely diverse and popular campaign.
Republican narrative
With no evidence that Musk was even behind this decision, Democrats are running a story in an attempt to undermine his support for Trump and distract from just how out-of-touch Harris' campaign is: The "White Dudes for Harris" Zoom call was hosted by liberal Hollywood elites — a testament to Harris' completely lack of understanding of the average American. The fact that these groups represent her is nothing to be proud of.
