Prima facie, Elon Musk appears to be manipulating X platform for specific political voices he supports (as well as using his own account to amplify the far right & furthest right).
In particular the platform dynamic has shifted & is helping Tommy Robinson to be amplified more than Nigel Farage.

The growth in followers of Farage on X has stalled since January 2025 (adding 70,000 to date).
Followers of Robinson have surged (adding 370,000), but Farage is still 800,000 ahead.
Post views and engagements for Farage have declined, while those for Robinson increased (overtaking Farage).
