Journalist Kara Swisher predicted Elon Musk will try to merge X with the president-elect that of Donald Trump Truth social media platform.

Following Trump’s victory On the 2024 election, Swisher joined a CNN panel Thursday morning where she discussed the possibility of Musk working with Trump during his second term.

Musk supported Trump in the 2024 election and was with Trump in Florida during his election watch party as results from key battleground states came in. Swisher suggested anchoring Kasie Hunt that Musk will use his influence with Trump “to make billions” from Truth Social and merge the companies into one entity.

HUNT: I ​​want to ask you about X, the platform formerly known as Twitter, and how a musky role in a Trump administration would interact with his ownership of that platform.

SWISHER: I suspect he’s going to try to merge Trump’s social networks. I heard from a number of people today with X too, by the way. X was always a terrible company before Musk and now it’s worse than ever.

But if they could merge them and make a meme stock and make a lot of money for themselves, it could be interesting and incredibly corrupt. They could also – he will use it as an organ of propaganda, and that is precisely why he bought it.

People misunderstood. They kept saying he was losing money and I think it was very clear that it wasn’t about the money. It feels like it’s a great investment from Elon Musk and Donald Trump, and that’s the way he plans to do it. He spent hundreds of millions to make billions. And he could be our world’s first billionaire. If you’re comfortable with one person having interests in the entire federal government, including $15 billion in contracts that decide things and I know it’s happened in history, but nothing such. No one has such an organ and such capacity, a public city organ. And that’s it, a propaganda organ that he created.
