In a series of escalating events, tech mogul Elon Musk has once again put Google under scrutiny, sharing additional data to support his claims that the tech giant is biased against former President Donald Trump. This comes amid growing concerns and allegations from the Trump camp, with Donald Trump Jr. now suggesting a possible coverup of an assassination attempt on his father.
On Monday, Musk took to Twitter to release more documents and statistics that he alleges demonstrate Google’s systematic suppression of pro-Trump content. This move is part of a broader narrative pushed by Musk, who has previously accused major tech companies of harbouring anti-conservative biases.
Musk’s data includes search result analyses, internal communications, and user engagement metrics, all purportedly showing a trend of diminishing visibility for content favourable to Trump during the 2020 election period. “Transparency is crucial for a fair democracy,” Musk tweeted, urging for an independent audit of Google’s practices.
In a parallel and equally startling development, Donald Trump Jr. has entered the fray with serious accusations. On his social media platforms, Trump Jr. posted claims suggesting that there was a deliberate coverup of an assassination attempt on his father. He referenced supposed evidence and testimonies from unnamed sources within the Secret Service and other government bodies, calling for a thorough investigation.
“The American public deserves to know the truth about what happened,” Trump Jr. wrote, hinting at a broader conspiracy to silence the former president.
Google has yet to officially respond to Musk’s latest data dump. However, the company has consistently denied any allegations of political bias, maintaining that its algorithms and policies are designed to provide the most relevant and authoritative information to users.
The Trump family’s new claims add another layer to the already complex and contentious relationship between Silicon Valley and conservative political figures. As the story unfolds, both Musk’s revelations and Trump Jr.’s explosive allegations are likely to fuel further debate and investigation.
