The Facebook mother Group Meta had only recently paid the US President. According to reports, Trump should also receive millions from the Twitter successor X because of the blocking of his user account.
According to reports, the short message Service X has reported a million payments to US President Donald Trump in order to include a legal dispute from 2021 on the blocking of Trump's Twitter account at the time. The online service of Tech billionaire and Trump consultant Elon Musk approved the payment of $ 10 million, the Wall Street Journal reported, citing the familiar district. X initially did not comment on it.
A similar regulation had previously met Facebook mother Meta. At the end of January, the Mark Zuckerberg group approved a payment of $ 25 million in order to settle the legal dispute with Trump. His accounts on Facebook and Instagram were temporarily closed.
Closed almost everywhere after attack on Capitol
After the attack on the Capitol, Trump was banished by the platform with the former name Twitter on January 6, 2021. Musk, now a close confidante of the US President, had Trump's account unlocked again after taking on Twitter in 2022.
Meta and the Google Videoplattform YouTube also banished the president at the time before the end of his first term. Trump then sued the internet giant and accused them of an attack on freedom of speech and “illegal, unconstitutional censorship”.
Tech bosses on a cuddly course with Trump
Finally, Trump and the bosses of online giants in the US technology industry approached again clearly. At his swearing-in on January 20, the entrepreneurs Musk, Zuckerberg and Amazon boss Jeff Bezos were better seen than many members of the new government. Apple boss Tim Cook, Google boss Sundar Pichai and the co-founder of the search engine, Sergey Brin, had also received prominent places.
Trump entrusted Elon Musk, who had supported him massively in the election campaign, with the management of a new department for state efficiency (Doge). In this function, Musk is responsible for the radical personnel and cost reduction in the federal authorities initiated by Trump. Observers criticize the enormous influence of Musk, who has no political mandate.
