Following Kamala Harris’s presidential campaign announcement, users on Elon Musk’s platform, X (formerly Twitter), discovered they were unable to follow the vice president’s political campaign account.
Attempts to follow @KamalaHQ, Harris’s official rapid response page, resulted in an error message stating “something went wrong” or that users had reached their follow limit, preventing them from following any more accounts.
Musk responded by posting a screenshot of the error message accompanied by a gloating remark: “Sure did.”
The use of follow limits typically prevents spam, but in this case, it appears the restriction is specifically targeting the Harris campaign account, rather than the users themselves.
These actions raise concerns, especially in light of Elon Musk’s public support for Donald Trump. Just recently, Musk pledged substantial financial support to aid Trump’s re-election efforts.
In recent days, Musk has continued to share right-wing and pro-Trump content, including criticisms aimed directly at Kamala Harris. His tweets and retweets reflect a stance that aligns more closely with Republican perspectives.
This series of actions and statements by Musk has sparked allegations of election interference, as his platform limitations and public comments appear to target a prominent Democratic candidate, potentially influencing the electoral process.
