Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago club has been brimming in the last 48 hours with two kinds of people: those angling for a job in the president-elect’s incoming administration, and those trying to influence him into hiring their picks for the top spots.

A day after Donald Trump beat Kamala Harris in the 2024 election, tweets about Elon Musk's alleged purchase of Fox News went viral. However, this is not true. Neither the media network nor the tech billionaire has issued a statement confirming the rumours.

Elon Musk’s misinformation megaphone has created a “huge problem” for election officials in key battleground states who told CNN they’re struggling to combat the wave of falsehoods coming from the tech billionaire and spreading wildly on his X platform.

The ex-CNN anchor’s departure from the app comes the same day that The Guardian announced its plan to leave, claiming Musk had created a “toxic media platform” since purchasing X.

The Guardian newspaper has announced it is quitting Elon Musk’s X because it is a “toxic” social media platform. In an article on the publication’s website, the Guardian said the “benefits of being on X are now outweighed by the negatives” and will focus its efforts to promote its journalism elsewhere.
