Recent discussions on social media suggest a growing concern among various political figures and commentators over the potential for political intervention in Elon Musk's ownership of X. Some tweets imply that both Democratic and Republican parties are considering legislation that could force Musk to divest his interest in X, citing concerns over online censorship and election meddling as key reasons. The Biden administration is specifically mentioned as seeing this as a key priority if reelected, indicating a bipartisan interest in regulating Musk's influence on the platform. Accusations include using 'every excuse' to control X, with one tweet calling it the 'single biggest win' for online censorship advocates. Furthermore, there's mention of a 'new conspiracy theory' by the left, accusing X of election meddling in 2024 and using it as a reason to potentially refuse to certify Trump’s election.
🚨This is the new conspiracy theory by the left so they can accuse X of election meddling in 2024 and then go after Elon and X. And they will use it as one of their reasons when they refuse to certify Trump’s election. I heard the Democrats saying this same garbage last week… https://t.co/lqSm39xYwj https://t.co/YncCsmt81M
Don't kid yourself. I guarantee you members of both parties have already discussed how the bill could allow them to rid themselves of Elon. If Biden is reelected there will be a concerted effort to force @elonmusk to sell X... https://t.co/QCWeWIZ6wg

Forcing Elon to divest X would be the single biggest win for advocates of online censorship. The Biden administration will make this a key priority in a second term.
The Democrats are going to use every excuse they can find to rein in Elon Musk and control X. https://t.co/0ZlqwLd1If
