Since Musk bought Twitter/X in 2022, he’s championed free speech by loosening moderation, but research shows hate speech surged 50% under his leadership. Minaj’s public support has intensified — from reposting Musk’s videos to calling him “our leader” and even attending a SpaceX launch — all while aligning herself with conservative figures like Donald Trump, sparking backlash from some fans. As Musk hits the trillion-dollar mark, Minaj’s embrace of his platform and ideology continues to reshape her public image. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
