Paid subscribers on Elon Musk's X platform are sharing speeches by Adolf Hitler and praising the Nazi regime, in violation of X's rules. Pro-Nazi content, including praise of Nazi soldiers and denial of the Holocaust, has gained millions of views on the platform.
Elon Musk ’s X is a thriving hub for Nazi support and propaganda, with paid subscribers sharing speeches by Adolf Hitler or content praising his genocidal regime . NBC News found that at least 150 paid “Premium” subscriber X accounts and thousands of unpaid accounts have posted or amplified pro-Nazi content on X in recent months, often in apparent violation of X’s rules. The paid accounts posting the content all consistently posted antisemitic or pro-Nazi material.
“New Twitter policy is freedom of speech, but not freedom of reach,” he wrote. NBC News sought comment on its findings from X. A representative for X asked for examples, and NBC News provided 13 examples of accounts posting pro-Nazi content. Hours later, X had put labels on some of the examples, all of which remained online.
