Musk An Immigration Patriot? So Why Is VDARE Twitter/X Shadow Banning At All-Time Highs?

Elon Musk has set his sails to benefit from the gale of public indignation about the Biden Mob’s implementation of the Democrats’ No Borders policy.

ZeroHedge has posted “Here’s What’s Really Going On”: Elon Musk Livestreams Southern Border Chaos, [by Tyler Durden, September 29, 2023]:

On Thursday, Elon Musk asked on X: “Why do so many American politicians from both parties care 100 times more about the Ukraine border than the USA border?”

Musk asks such a question because, in recent weeks, the southern primarily in Eagle Pass, Texas. And at the same time, the corporate media and the Biden administration downplay the massive influx of illegals into the US.

Perhaps Musk is merely responding as a media entrepreneur, reacting to the huge opportunity opened by the combination of rising public outrage over Biden’s Border Treason and the MSM’s heavy repression of news about the immivasion. He is well aware of the latter:

Apparently, he intends to X/Tweet a lot of Border videos and is appealing to Americans to become “Citizen Journalists” and send in copy.

Since Musk has 158.3 Mm X/Twitter followers this will be a great service to his adopted country.

But what we want to know is, if he is so interested in this cause, WHY HAS X/T SHADOWBANNING OF VDARE REACHED ALL-TIME SEVERITY?

Of course, it is conventional to dismiss complaints of this type with sneers and jeers.

But we are professionals at watching our own traffic. It is important to us. And we have seen this before, in the steep atrophy of our Facebook traffic in the year or so before we were deplatformed from there in 2020: Peter Brimelow Responds To Facebook Over Banning Of The VDARE.com Foundation Page.

My impression is that Twitter/X repression intensified around the time of the first Trump indictment. Trump’s legal lynching and the Border situation are particularly targeted.

We hear others are similarly impacted. But generally people are afraid to complain.

How this general situation is handled will tell us if Musk is a genuine immigration patriot — or just a businessman utilizing the MSM’s gross dereliction.
