Elon Musk said he’d eliminate bots from X. Instead, election influence campaigns are running wild. (restofworld.org)

Sounds like he's setting himself up to run for office in 2028 with all the bullshit. Perfect for politics

The last few years have highlighted that running for office is sound strategy when you’ve got charges and corruption to dodge.

What's he gonna run for, governor somewhere? He's burned all his bridges and goodwill in California, and Texans absolutely hate big tech firms that Musks represents. And Trump has been a perfect example of why the ultra-wealthy never run for public office; it drags all your skeletons from the closet and into the public eye. Corruption from a businessman is expected, but open corruption in a politician has to be punished to some degree.
