Social media platform X,"eroticism is an antidote to death formerly Twitter, is embroiled in trending conspiracy theories after former President Donald Trump was shot at during a campaign rally in Butler, Pennslyvania. After the shooting on Saturday, X CEO Elon Musk took to the platform to "fully endorse" the former President, having donated a "sizeable amount" to a Trump Super PAC to help with his re-election a day before the rally.

According to The Verge, in the wake of the shooting, the platform has promoted tags such as "false flag" and "staged" on its list of trending topics. Several posts on X have claimed that Trump faked the assassination attempt or that the shooter, a registered Republican, was a secret ANTIFA/CIA operative sent by President Joe Biden. There is evidence of neither. These posts have several thousand likes, like this one, claiming Trump's sniper team had already seen the shooter and purposefully let them get closer.

As The Verge notes, other major social media platforms responded more effectively in the immediate aftermath of the shooting. YouTube highlighted news clips and steered search results toward credible news reports and verified creators. Facebook predominantly showed results from news outlets, having eliminated its trending topics section in 2018. On Threads, conspiracy-related posts sometimes appeared at the top of its trending topics for the incident, however, these were not consistent.

X did not return a request for comment, its email address automatically replied “Busy now, please check back later.” However, the official account for the platform did post, simply saying "global town square" — a reference to Musk's initial goal of free speech absolutism when buying Twitter in 2022.

Given the current news about the Trump assassination attempt, the lack of moderation for rampant misinformation is unsurprising. Musk has, politically, moved further right since buying X, including the reinstating of right-wing accounts like Nick Fuentes and Andrew Tate.

Because of its moderation problems and the spread of conspiracy theories, several high-paying advertisers have left the site as well. However, since Musk has told fleeing advertisers to "go fuck yourself," it doesn't seem that X's misinformation problem is being solved anytime soon.
