Since Elon Musk took over the short messaging service in October 2022, right-wing accounts have flourished on the platform to such an extent that observers suspect that these accounts could be actively promoted. Researchers now claim to have collected evidence of this - and even identified a clear date on which X took a right-wing turn.
