In a post that garnered nearly 125,000 likes, Ackman criticized the Democratic Party for what he described as being 'fundamentally undemocratic' and called for a complete overhaul of its leadership.
Ackman also praised social media platform X, citing Elon Musk's advocacy for free speech on the platform as a key factor in President-elect Trump's victory. He highlighted the platform's role in providing alternative perspectives and information that often preceded mainstream media coverage.
According to Ackman, the mainstream media portrayed President Biden in a favorable light while unfairly defaming President-elect Trump. He credited new media formats like podcasts for offering a more balanced view of Trump to the American public.
With 1.5 million followers on X, Ackman's views carry significant weight in the online sphere. His critique of the Democratic Party and mainstream media reflects a growing trend of skepticism towards traditional sources of information and a shift towards alternative platforms for news and analysis.
