Elon Musk's X Revives Political Ads, Rattles 2024 Election Landscape
Portfolio Pulse from Adam Eckert
Elon Musk's social media platform, X (formerly Twitter), is reinstating political ads and expanding its team ahead of the 2024 presidential election. The company is revising its Civic Integrity Policy and will add public labels to posts flagged for potential policy violations. Paid political ads will undergo a screening process to ensure the promoter is eligible and not promoting false or misleading content. X also plans to create a global ad transparency center. Other social media companies, including Meta Platforms Inc and those represented in the Global X Social Media ETF, have similar policies.
